Hmm. He talks about a supercharger then doesn't show any engine bay pictures

.. and if he can't sort out a brake pad sensor is he likely to have supercharged it? :-/

Exactly wot I thought??, is anyone near Coventry that might want to take for a test drive (spin!)?

Uhhhhm me too. There's somat that doesn't seem right  :-? :-? :-?

[mantahatch]

Yes does sound a bit odd, wonder if he means "superchip" as I would have thought a "supercharger" would add more than 35BHP.
Might explain the lack of engine pics.

a supercharged car without any engine pictures

and alloys dont suit the car :-?

[mantagte]

more than likely one of these

This person does not have a clue what hes talking about......if its got a supercharger then TB's Massey Engined oil chucker is former Touring Car winner.

And I dont count 12V hair dryers as super chargers!

Thats exactly what I was going to say, but I doubt these actually do anything apart from possibly overfuelling the engine.

Anyway, I remember reading on here that the ar35(?) autobox is at it's limit with the power from the 3.0 engine from the factory?

So, if this car does indeed have an extra 35hp, should any buyer not be suspicious of the gearbox possibly going into a strop?

[Kevin Wood]

They'll do less than that. I'd wager that the fuelling is still spot on but the power is reduced due to having a fan out of someone's PC sitting in the airflow (acting as a turbine most of the time). Not to mention the fact that it'll be sucking hot air from the engine bay which gives you less power.

Probably get more of a boost running a pipe from down the back of your trousers into the air box and living on a diet of baked beans and brussels sprouts.

Hmm. Brussel's sprouts. Sadly banned from the house by Mrs. KW.

Sadly, I won't be trying this. Contamination of Lambda sensors is already enough of a pain on a 3.2.

Hmmm I wonder if large quantities of cabbage would suffice as a replacement bio fuel?

Thought the same - emailed him asking him to put up pics showing engine including blower installation + make of blower.  A blower should increase power on a 200bhp engine by more than 35bhp!

[davlad22]

I spotted that as well. The grammar is appalling, sounds like a right muppet!  

"This is Very Rare MV6....never seen one like this one before. how many omega's have parking sensors spoiler Black alloys with red calipers and matching grill full colour coded bumbers no black plastic. Twin exhaust"

How many omegas have got colour coded bumpers, spoiler, matching grille, twin exhausts, parking sensors??? Oh, just about all of them!
