If by 'other issues' you mean the five weeks remaining MoT and 190k miles, then no, nothing else of concern...  ;D
an MOT is £40-£55  ??? 190K is not an Issue either,unless the engine is tired ,lacking ,smoking,loosing fluids
so it's down to the cost of a used fuel pump £30  :-\ and assessing what work needs doing for the MOT ,tyres,exhaust,  :-\suspension (you replaced that last MOT IIRC)
but you know all that  ;D
I think you just want something like this   ;D

That looks to be quite a nice car,nice advert too which is unusual :y

I could be quite tempted by that if I didn't have 2 old cars already.  ::)

My neighbours tend to get a bit sniffy if I have more than 2 old cars hanging around though....  :-\                                           ;D

bit of tidy up of paint and it could be a good run around ,with LPG and long MOT
shame the reg is not in the pics to look at the MOT history  :(
and it would need inspecting underneath before bidding more than £300  ::)

chances are the actual pump(not the assembly) is a common affordable part. Like you can replace an Omega one for about £30 for a new pump and some disassembly.

oh yes  :-[  :y
nothing scary there   :)
and LPG cert is 10 years IIRC  :-\ ,so good till 2024
but it says it's on the register on ebay ,but not on the website register ,maybe it's had a private plate on in the past ,hence the blanked out reg plates  :-\ easy enough to resolve

It needs a ball joint, possibly two, the exhaust has a bit of a blow and it has started consuming oil, although not quite at the rate Tunnie drinks coolant  ;D

Currently laid up with a sudden onslaught of death defying manflu, so dropping the tank won't be happening this week.

Might accept the £153 that Scrapmycar have offered and see what is available locally at the weekend  :D

Highly unlikely to be an Omega though :-X
