Just picked up a facelift estate so getting rid of the saloon. As per my threads regards poor heating. New HBV, system flushed, new stat, still got heating probs (cold to warm to cold to warm) and losing about a pint of coolant a day. No leaks visible, absolutely no coolant in the oil. Give up with this one now. Pics are here http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1253460461
Couple of paint scabs on the doors and scratches on front bumper. Ciggy burn on driver`s seat about 5p size. Apart from the heating/coolant probs car is OK.
Open to offers before it goes on the bay

Ascertained 99.9% that the headgasket is gone. Anyone interested as is or it gets broke

How much is it worth as is and fixed?

[RobG]

Fixed......£750-1K.     As is £400-450

[RobG]

Thinking about breaking this one if there`s any interest

[joshwyatt]

I'd certainly be interested in a few bits if you did decide to break. Centre console inc wood trim and all buttons, front armrest, ccr 2006, and everything to enable rear electric windows to work...so motors, switches and front door loom etc.

May be interested in the alloys.

Interested in a couple of parts as discussed before 

[Omega 37]

A headlight if good and alloys

[going crazy]

Radio / CD player if it is any good

Hold your horses sunshine,don't break her yet. Pull off the cambelt cover and just check that its not leaking out through the water pump. These can fail and if not intalled properly can leak through the bearing and the sides of the unit!

Lumpy on initial start up for about 30secs, steamy(not bad) exhaust, expansion bottle absolutely reeks of combustion/petrol fumes. No visible exterior coolant loss. I`d categorically state it`s not the waterpump
