I’ve not yet quite finished the 2.6 project …. And now I’ve bought another Omega!
A 2003, 3.2 V6 came up on Facebook marketplace. Only a few miles from me.
Owner seems a very genuine guy. He said “the water pump pulley broke, I replaced the pulley and unit, but checked the cambelt and it had slipped / sheared teeth or similar.
Plan is to attempt a fix. Will do head-off work if needs be although it’s slow progress with my back. It’s had a lot of work including new sills for last MOT.
Will be making every effort to get it running again, would be criminal to break a 3.2 if it can be fixed.
£500. Can’t loose and will enjoy the summer tinkering now the 2.6 is almost done.
I’ll have to sell one of them in due course. Can’t keep two. Tempted to keep the 2.6, it’s not so good paint wise, but mechanically I’ve replaced everything imaginable under the Bonnet!
