A few more photos when it washed earlier this year.

Doubt it, as he suspects head gasket failure, therefore the engine would be worth more weighed in with the rest of the car than trying to sell it. Having said that he is now gauging interest in selling the whole car before dismantling it.
Don't blame him either. Dismantling an Omega and then packaging and sending off parts is a lot of hard work, and doesn't tend to bring great rewards these days.
Clearly, if it must be a soot chucker, the V6 diesel is the one to have. Actually, the V6 -S badged ones.The non S V6 soot chucker is 235ish bhp
The S V6 soot chucker is 275ish bhp (up to about 2016ish, when it became 300)
Tax is the same, claimed economy is the same. Why would anyone buy the half-arsed one? The more powerful one has 600Nm of torque as well, which will rip the tarmac from the road.
Hyundai i40 diesel should tick all your requirements
So crunch time now, bargain banger or something newer. Hummmm
Given your lack of time for DIY, I'd say get something newer. With your current mileage you'd be unlucky if you needed to do anything other than an annual service and topping up the washer fluid.
Then again, there's nothing easier than spending someone else's money
Just to add, he’s had the cats removed and the dpf delete and remap around 330bhp and ridiculous torque figure (wonder who he’s following? )don’t know how long it will last but been 3 years already and he certainly doesn’t pussy foot around, however I know he’s trying on this journey for mpg as I asked him to.
Looking good so far 84 miles and 60mpg showing!!
I'd love to go to Japan!
But I think I'd rather go when the place isn't over run with drunken Brits, Aussies, Kiwis and Saffers!
