General Car Chat / 96 2.5 CDX, Hope you like it !
« on: 04 September 2021, 13:20:19 »
I've spent the last few months recommissioning a 1996 Omega 2.5 V6 CDX Manual that I got from it's original owner, currently at 17915 miles.  It had been stored for 5 years and I have enjoyed recommissioning it and it has passed it's MOT this week with no advisories.

Fair bit of work done to get her up and running:

4 x New Michelin Energy 205/65/15 tyres
Fuel system replacement, Pump , filter, all rubber hosing replaced
Alternator has been fully refurbished
New Lucas Battery
Exhaust system replaced, 2 x centre pipes 1 x rear silencer
Full cambelt kit, SKF bearings and tensioner pulleys and water pump replaced,
Obviously it's been service with new fluids

Service history:

All carried out by supplying dealer with invoices and book stamps to back up, each service included engine flush, oil and filter and oil conditioner added 

05/11/98 2524 miles

I've been around Omegas for 20 yrs and owned about 20 in that time but this is pretty damn near as brand new as I've ever seen, rear arches and underside are mint  :) the interior is as new, rear seats I doubt have ever been sat in. She had the option for the "executive pack" ticked which I didn't know existed so heated leather all round, multichanger, rear blind and auto dip mirror. She drives like she's just come out of the showroom  :y

General Car Chat / Re: Shortage of Second Hand Cars
« on: 12 August 2021, 16:28:10 »
Some of you may know this already, but apparently their is a severe shortage of second hand cars at main dealers.

Whilst speaking today to an old friend who has worked in the main dealer business for decades, he says he has never seen anything like it.  His dealer and the others, like Vauxhall that he used to work for, just cannot find the stock.  Many people are now just doing what many on here are doing; keeping their old cars running for years longer. No one can afford the electric of hybrid cars, and as he says the likes of Ford have stopped supplying new petrol engined version of their models, thus increasing the desire of many to keep their old models.

Perhaps this is old news, and helps to explain the rocketing prices of second hand cars, but come 2030 what will we poor old sods being doing? Maybe my "classic" Omega will be worth £5,000!! ::) ::) ;D ;D ;D ;)

I don't think it will be long before the really good ones will be fetching that

In rejecting RB appeal yesterday the Stewards mentioned that they had also made serious allegations against Hamilton, but wouldnt say what they were.
According to reports this morning RB actually alleged that Hamilton deliberately caused the crash, and they therefore wanted him banned from racing !
I suppose this is what happens to sport when £billions become involved.  >:( :'(

Looking forward to CH squirming during interviews this weekend when this all falls on it's arse today

What a pain in the arse, I do believe some bits are getting harder to source and Brexit certainly doesn't appear to have helped . I've ordered a UK supplied one so will report back on fitment  ::)

Just an FYI, I ordered an exhaust but it was cancelled due to high delivery costs , they cited Brexit as being the problem  ::) >:(

Cheers, I think that was for an estate though

In a strange and all consuming quest for originality I am seeking an original 2.5 PFL single exit back box either new or in super duper condition, I know Vaux stopped supplying the good clamshell ones and switched to Bosal crap but it's original I want so if any of you old duffers squirreled one away when they were going cheap or kept the old one when you put an Irmscher one on then I want to hear about it !!!

Autovaux say they have an OE one but no pic and they have a habit of selling pattern stuff as original so until they supply a pic I won't be buying.

Surely your wallet is lodged behind the counter at the local Jag dealership :D ;D
On the subject of moth I seem to get plagued with very small moths here just as I did last year.


You could buy an Audi, where they charge you for one of their staff to acquire all cash, cards and anything else that might be of value in your wallet. Including the wallet itself. This charge also include rubber gloves for when the bouncer ejects you from the showroom for looking poor....
I've often thought I'd like to win the lottery and wander into one of these showrooms in dirty jeans and a tee shirt. What fun.

Back in the 60's I had a mate who was a builder, he saved up, in cash, enough to buy a Ford Zepher.

He wandered into the Ford showroom in his builders gear, cash in a paper bag, and got ignored until he sat in one.

Similar thing in our local Merc dealer, shabby looking fella went in to look at the SLK roadster when it first came out, he was spoken down to by the staff who'd judged him to be beneath them, he made sure they knew about it when he bought one each for him and his wife from Merc Manchester  ;D
