Dan :y
Sorry Dan, The milage is 145K.
It needs quite alot of cosmetic work and trim.
Also the Clutch slave has dropped it's guts so I need to get that done first.
I don't have a garage so I'll be doing it on my drive. Not going to be fun!
I also have some custom touches to put in there too!

looks nice, but looks can be decieving 8-) :y 8-)

Lol... Indeed they can, as I said, this pic' is far better than she really is. She needs looking after and that is my mission!
First on the list is get her back on the road, then I'll get the trim sorted and the bodywork. I would like a full re-spray but we shall see how the year pans out.....
-
Looks very nice !! :y :y

Oh yes...
I always have to get my cash card pass to get jobs done on mine , if she who must be obeyed let's me :D :D :D
I love these cars to bits, ask any current serving Roads Policing Officer and Im sure they will agree, most hate the new Volvo T6's , they miss the Omega's and T5's ..... and very soon most counties going to diesel ..so no petrol cars in service :'( :'( :'(
Ploppy :y

I just love the way she drives, Actually, when I get it, I found I loved the drive but then I found the rear springs were broken, THEN I found out how much the police spec sring are from Vauxhall! I was floored! Then I fitted GMax spring kit, £110 or something like that, my ride hight wend down a bit as did my insurance! Wiw, win... AND she's even better!!! :D :D :D :D :D :y :y :y :y :y

Looks lowered dave. Is it standard MV6 suspension?
-
It is yes, The police spec' rear springs broke and when I called Vauxhall and they told me how huch they cost, I almost fell off my chair!
They are now G-Max -35 I think???? The best part is when I called my insurance to tell them it's lowered, they gave me a refund! It rides so nice too! Firm bust not harsh! :y
-
oooh, I do like a firm bust. :P
Looks clean in the pics. Maybe this is a stupid question but what's so special about woodentop spec rear springs? Are they rising rate or something?

I have some great pic's of it on my old computer, I'll have to plug it in and post them....
Thanks by the way, It does sit so nice, low but not too low... corners quite flat too...
Can you tell me if there is a prefered supplier of parts? Clutch slave and plates need doing then I can get it back on the road and concetrate on the cosmetic stuff.....

Thanks, They do need a re-furb but I just couldn't wait to get them on.
Re' grill.... I didn't want to go the same way most do... I took the grill apart and painted it white.
I also got a Irmy boot spoiler from FleaBay the guy told me it was off his 2000my but guess what... it's for a pre-facelift! Grrr! I'll be putting it back on soon.... :-(

Thank you, I agree, just having bigger wheels isn't enough, the car needs to sit low to make the most of it.
IMO, the way mine sits is perfect, she looks great at that height, corners almost flat, not too harsh a ride and clears all the speed humps and round here, there are plenty of those! Lol....

Nice car mate... Get a prodrive front bumper on it and your there ;D ;D

Thanks Dazza,
Correct me if I'm wrong but the MV6 should have prodrive kit on it????
I have been looking for bumpers and a boot spoiler for it but they seem to be hard to find....
Bought an Irmy boot spoiler off FeaBay but after the guy told me it would fit, I got it and it's for a 'B' Grrrrr!

Correct, but yours hasn`t `cause it`s ex-plod
Bumpers are around if you know where to look ;)

Not the ex plod though - they have the GLS style front bumper and interior "Special"
The prodrive boot spoilers come up more frequently than the irmy ones but you will struggle to find a white one same goes for a front bumper so next time someone is braking an MV6 get what you can and get it sprayed up :y

Any time Dave, if you need any advice on spending anymore of you hard earned cash let me know... ;D ;D ;D

Cheers but I'm not spending any of my hard earned on looks just yet.. Still need to get it back on the road! :)

Not sure of the tail pipes.... :-/

Ok, very much time for an up-date....
I have been collecting a heap of parts.... Here's the list....
Clutch kit plus slave cylinder and feed pipe,
Both cats and full exhaust,
Centre arm rest, and h/b trim + new leather gators for the gear stick and h/break,
Air duct in centre console,
Hand brake cable,
Full disc and pad set,
Scuttle panel,
Boot lid trim,
Air, oil, fuel and cabin filters + coolant and oil,
Set of plugs,
One plug lead (No4)
plus the correct wheels (already on the car) 2 tyres needed..
There is still a long list of things that I want to get sorted but I'm getting it ready for the end of this month and MOT time!
-
Looking very nice , you got a bit to do as have i ;)
-
Thanks EMD, and that's not even to make her pretty!!! ::)

Plugs
Anti freeze

Bodywork will be last to do and sourcing some nice alloys, not looked into alloys but hoping the newer MV6 alloys will fit similar to what you have on yours ;)

Add a pair of O2 sensors to the list!
While swapping over the cats, I was having a hard time getting the old O2's out, took the old pipes too work and got them out.... I have no idea how they were in there so tight.... They had NO THREAD!!!!!!! I'm just so glad that our good friend at OmegaSparePartsLtd has come to the rescue and they are on their way! :-)
-
Up-date No2! 1st job this morning, change plugs.... I started on the more difficult side at the back.... So after I got all the gubbins out of the way, I went at No6 plug like a mad dentist, the plug well had a mix of oil and water in the bottom. Then I changed the lead for that cylinder....
I continued round to 4, then 2, then 1,3 and 5. Out of those I had oil in most but 6 was full to the top with water. Also when I pulled No6 lead, the post on the DIS pack also had water in it, now I'm looking at doing the cam cover gaskets :-/
I have no idea how this engine ran????
So, I carried on, re-fitting the wipers, changed the pollen and air filters, fitted the boot lid trim, refitted drivers door trim and fitted the air duct in the centre console and put the console itself back together.
I'm hoping to get the O2 sensors tomorrow so I can fit those and run her up....
-
There you go dave :y
(http://i81.photobucket.com/albums/j222/puma282/Omaga.jpg)
Nice and clean mate, used to have one the same :y
-
Thank you but to be fair, up close she's not perfect by far! I really wanna get her re-sprayed but that's gonna be a way off yet....
She now has MV6 wheels and is a little lower.

No, they let it run on idle, I thought they had to do it at idle and higher rev's???
Anyway, it passed and he did give some positive comments too :)

Hi Paulcdx,
So, all my problems are your fault!!!! Grrr!!!!! Lol ;)
Yes, it is ex-plod and you can still see POLICE on the doors!!! (NEEDS PAINTING)
-
Aghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!! >:( >:( >:(
I ordered the wrong coil!!!!!
And there is no way I'm putting the old one back after that battle!!!! I am not happy with myself... :(
Correct part ordered now though.... Hopefully it will be quick to get here!?!?!? :-\
Oval plug, square plug??? Why change it????
Blimey! The old one is split wide open!!!! No wonder it was missing!!!
-
OMG!!!!!????(http://i556.photobucket.com/albums/ss2/KillerDave/IMG1010.jpg)

OMG!!!!!????(http://i556.photobucket.com/albums/ss2/KillerDave/IMG1010.jpg)

Thats just like the one i removed on mine a month back , check for leaks in the scuttle as the join piece tends to drip drip onto the coil pack ...used black mastic to seal mine up ;)
Snap :o

Was yours the cause of a bad miss-fire?
When I took the scuttle off, I noticed it was soaking wet! I did replace it last moth because the old one was cracked..... And soaking wet underneath!!!! :-\

Yep the car was down on 2 cylinders , its the first thing i was advised to check all be it a pita to get to ::) split exactly like yours so threw it in the bin . Replaced with a new one and sorted the miss-fire , ill have to keep checking for leaks as i dont seem to have cured it fully from the scuttle but the foam bit was dry :y
-
Good job! :y that give me hope for when my new part comes! :y
I'm thinking of removing the foam and spraying the scuttle to see where water is getting in???
Not sure of a sure fire fix yet but it should help if I know exactly what's going on????
-
Oh thank God! She now runs sooooo sweeet!!! :) :) :) I am now very happy!!!
-
Nice one Dave, :y
Enjoy the ex TVP mig ;D ;D :y
-
Oh thank God! She now runs sooooo sweeet!!! :) :) :) I am now very happy!!!

Just how i felt when i got mine running right ...well apart from the overheating prob ::) fixed now though .
-
Thanks guys, things still need fixing and I'll only be happy when it doesn't break again....???? :-\ :-\ :-\

I have been thinking of doing the same to an Irmy grill???

So, I guess it's time for another up-date....
I took delivery of a front spoiler and as soon as I got home from work I just had to clip it on to see how it will look. And I have to say... I like! :-)

Do feel free to have a look through, they're no on particular order though...

-
Excellent , looks smart ;)
-
I was a bit un sure on buying an ex police but you've done well there :y
-
Lovely, looks great :y
-
Thanks guys, she's getting there.... The idea was to get one that deserved to be fixed up.
I've put some of the trim back in where the boys in blue took it out.
Put the MV6 wheels on and droped it a little.
The spolier's going to be on soon and I have a front spoiler to paint too.
The long term plan will include a full respay and see what I can do with the inside too....
-
Ok, over the last few nights, I painted the boot spoiler and even though I used the proper paint from VX, it's practically yellow next to the paint on the car!!!!????
I didn't think White paint discoloured??? I know it goes powdery.....
-
Looks very tidy :y
-
Looks very tidy :y
The pic's hide a lot of problems, it needs a lot of work and most of it I can't do....
I'm hoping to get a full paint job....
Thanks btw... :-)
-
Well...
I finally got to put paint on the front and rear spoilers and I learnt the White is not "White"!!! I got some with the correct code and when I put it on the car, it looked yellow!!! FFS!!!
Then I got some mixed and it's spot on!!!! :-)
(http://i556.photobucket.com/albums/ss2/KillerDave/Omega/IMG1372.jpg)
Next will be side skirts but for now, I'm happy!
As ever, your thoughts are welcome....
-
looking rather nice tbh. :y
-
Very nice - but the front spoiler, I must admit, is not to my taste.

That's ok GK, the way we (individually) want our cars to look will always be a subjective thing...
I must admit, I wasn't sure until it was painted and on the car, now it is, I am very happy with it. :-)
Thank you for the comment though :y
-
oooh, I do like a firm bust. :P
Looks clean in the pics. Maybe this is a stupid question but what's so special about woodentop spec rear springs? Are they rising rate or something?
Lol... Firm "bust" Should say "but" Lol... I did it on my phone and it does it all the time..... Predictive txt! Ha!!! ;D ;D
Woodentop??? It was lowered and stiffer springs from the police, cost a fortune to replace from Vauxhall!.....
YEAH YOUR TELLING ME!!!!!! had a broken front so priced up a new set..... maybe not ebay i went & found a mv6 breaking with irmscher red springs for £40 complete on struts they do nicely!!
-

I have had Omegas with different sets of alloys, split rims staggered fitments, and had alloys worth 3 times what the car is You name it I have done it :D
