Very good condition BLACK leather heated memory electric FRONT seats from Omega MV6.

These will ONLY suit a face-lift model (big bumper / grille approx MY2000-) if you want the heated elements to work as I am told the earlier models had different connections depending on how many stages of heating the year had.

These were from the very early facelift models and as such they are the rare perforated centres and also have black plastic trim and are properly black leather - the later models were Charcoal.

I had these fitted to a 2003 CDX and they looked fine with the other charcoal trim as the steering wheel and gear selector/handbrake were black too!

I bought these in 2011 and had them fitted for 2 years before selling the car last spring and they have been in my garage since.

There is some age related ware to the drivers bolster but this mainly consists of the decorative stitching being worn and the leather being shiny. They are not colapsed and there are NO holes.

All electrics work.

The seats will be all cleaned over (again) with leather cleaner before despatch.

These came from an estate and I also have the estate rear seats if required or a set of heated elite black leather bench pieces with headrests if you want to fit into a saloon. The saloon bench is not a perfect match as they are not perforated and the headrest leather is slightly different but they are in great condition and the difference is minor. The estate rear bench has some damage to the plastics around the release buttons. The rear seats (one set) are 'free' within the sale if required.

I would prefer collection but will wrap and arrange courier at cost. I could also consider delivering myself within the Cardiff / Newport area if mileage is covered or meet part way.

Pictures to follow...

2 x Front + 2 x Rear Bilstein B8 (short stroke) shock absorbers to suit any V6 engined Vauxhall Omega B SALOON.

I covered approximately 15,000 miles on these having them fited August 2011 and removed removed spring 2013 having more or less stopped using the car from September 2012.

These were fitted with genuine Steinmetz (Eibach) -30mm springs which are also listed for sale.

This combination is the original specification for the Steinmetz upgrades (I phoned Steinmetz and asked them what shocks to put with their springs.

I have spent a lot of time cleaning the dirt and tar off the bodies of the shock absorbers. As you can see there are some areas where the bright yellow paint has started to come off. I have made no attempt to cover this up so you can see them as they are - I would probably just put a dab of some anti-rust coating over them before fitting just as precaution.

These are NOT suited to being matched to a standard ride height spring as the B8 has a short stroke piston to better match a shorter spring.

The NEW retail price of these 4 units total over £650!

I will be happy to combine postage costs if you purchase the Shocks and Springs. I'm not sure about courior costs but will do delivery 'at cost' or happy for collection from South Wales.

These are in excellent condition - I have cleaned them up to remove the dirt and tar and all the paint is still present with all the original markings

Cars for Sale & wanted / 2.6 CDX Saloon Auto - £400
« on: 23 April 2013, 00:14:08 »
So I have put the car back to standard and have had it serviced (with Mobil1) but on the service they picked up that it needs all brake pads done and a rear caliper is seized.

I cant justify getting that work done myself so it is going as a 'spares or repair'.

There is MOT till September and cambelt has another 8k or so till due or to next September.

Tax expires at the end of the month.

It has had repairs carried out as needed in the past but I now have another car and the Mig needs to go.

My Dad boutght it off Vauxhall at about 6 months old and I have had it for the last 4 years (since 68k) and it now has 112k.

Fundamentally sound and striaght. It is a star silver auto saloon 2.6 with all the standard fit kit. Professionally tinted rears at a mid-smoke as I didnt want to have those awful kiddie suction sun blinds.

Please PM me for further details / photos if interested. Happy to call you if you leave your number and a convenient time to call.
I cant get into my photobucket account at the moment so I can't post pictures.

NB - any comments or thoughts you may have about this car for sale (good or bad) should NOT be posted here. This is an advserisment for sale, not a discussion thread.

Black perforated front and rear leather MV6 seats for sale.

No rips, only a slightly shiny drivers bolster and some expected wear markings.

The seats seem to have come from an early facelift as the leather is BLACK not Charcoal and the plastics are black and not grey. I have had these in a later model where the original trim was charcoal and it really does not notice too much as the gear knob and steering wheel are black. The heating all works fine - it is only the fronts which are heated.

£150 plus delivery.

I can wrap in thick plastic and sort a courior at cost if necessary or deliver at a pence per mile basis if you are not too far away. The seats are immediately available as are now out of the car.

Seats are currently located in South Wales.

pics to follow or pm me with an email address.

As above, it is beyond me as to how anybody can think it an acceptable way to treat others by publicly dissing and derriding items for sale posted on this site (or any other site).

To start putting put comments like 'I think you are asking too much for those' is just not fair on the seller. Particularly when the individuals have no interest in actually buying the item and are little more than pub-talk 'experts'.

Yes this is a forum but there are the forum areas.

If you are REALLY that concerned there is this little feature called PM where you could message the seller to kindly suggest that maybe the price is way off or there is unlikely to be much of a market for the item in question. Now that WOULD be a more caring sharing forum. I guess it doesn't give you quite as much of an ego boost but it is SO much more helpful.

You know who you are - you should have your buy/sell privilages taken away and be made to drive a Granada.

I have TWO Lassa Impetus Revo tyres for sale which only have covered 600 miles.

They were put on my current car by the selling garage just to get it though the MOT for selling the car. I have removed them to make the 4 tyres match with ContiSports.

Here is a link to a place currently selling the tyres new at £65 each.

Omega 2.6 V6 CDX Saloon - Auto
Star Silver 2003 / 53 – 112,000

Very good condition for age – it has one or two stone chips on the front end and a few minor marks on the sides from car park but it cleans up beautifuly. The front bumper seems to have had a spray over in its early life as there are signs of a slightly mottled finish if you look really closely.

I have had genuine Steinmetz (eibach) springs fitted 18 months ago along with Bilstein B8 shockabsorbers which were the Steinmets original fitment with their springs. Along with poly wishbone bushes on replacement wishbones and poly ARB bushes and new droplinks this is a sublime handling V6 saloon. All this cost me in excess of £1,200.

I had the rear windows professionally tinted to 35% tint which is a nice mid-smoke and avoids having to have those awuful kiddie sunblinds in the rear!

Currently it has some very nice black leather MV6 front seats (still cloth in the rear) I can get these changed before sale if necessary.

I have owned this car for 3 ½ years and my dad had it before me from about 9 months old bought through Network Q.

It has been main dealer serviced to 60k and then I have been taking it to an independent Vauxhall specialist where it has had everything it needed.

The aircon was rebuilt 3 years ago and it has had a new battery 2 years ago along with a new heater motor and rear donut bushes.

Front Brake pads were done Jan 2011 so approx 18k ago.

Its had recent new wiper blades.

The car is due a service but I would rather let this be done as the new owner requires – it has always had Mobil1 and cam belts have been done at the service interval and the next one is due either in 10,000 miles or sept 2014. Last belt change was at 82,200 on 09/2010

There is a small amount of rust on the inside of the rear arches and a bead of surface rust on the passenger side roof guttering.

The passenger side headlight is a little milky.

The car is on Kumho KW27 winter tyres which still have a good amount of tread left.

This car has done me 1,000 a month for the last 3 years but now a change in circumstances means it is surplus to requirements.

All the electrics work fine – the CD plays ok and there is the auto changer cartridge. Inside the car could pass for 50,000 easily.

I have been as totally open and honest as I can be with this description (probably at my own detriment). If desired I can supply the original suspension, wishbones and interior.

There is tax to the end of April and the MOT is due for 18 August 2013. The only advisory last time was for rear brake pads but that was only 3,000 miles ago.

For sale at £500 (no offers) for the above with or without the MV6 seats – this is taking into account the need for service etc….

If you have it with the MV6 seats I will give you the original cloth front and the matching rear leathers (but they are for an estate) so you can always sell them on and make a few ££ later.  I will also throw in all the original suspension parts if you want.

Please PM me for any other questions you may have and I will send you photos of whatever parts of the car you want to see.

The car is located between Newport and Cardiff and can be viewed at weekends or evenings (if you don’t mind it being dark!)

I will get some photos up soon.

Thanks.

There is a tempting looking black 2.6 CDX at a garage (Lionel Browne) in this area - would anybody mind casting a quick eye over it as an initial impression / maybe check out the service history / whats due?

More of a tentative enquiry than an offer to buy, but does anybody have a Charcoal late model Leather MV6 saloon interior in VERY good condition that they could be persuaded to part with?

Omega General Help / pfl MV6 wheels on fl - opinions
« on: 27 November 2012, 14:14:13 »
So, what is the general opinion about the looks of putting the 'original' MV6 diamond cut alloy on a facelift omega?

My thinking is that the earlier Irmscher alloys have the best offset of any genuine GM 17 inch wheel for an Omega (ET33 i believe, rather than the later ET37) so fills the arches better and should help cornering??

Specificaly I would be thinking of a refurb to smoke-chrome / anthracite and putting on a black car.

Regards.
