The parts you have added, eg seats, etc aren't modifications, they are replacement standard parts,  they won't increase the insurance value of the car as they will pay it out as whatever it's registered as. So an ex-plod with Leather,alloys etc won't make any difference, they only care about performance modifications. That's my experience,,, others will say different.

The leather seats and alloys are standard on the car was only saying the spec of the car as leather seats (in my opinion) are more desirable than cloth ones
Also the accident wasn’t my fault man crossed my lane into my path obviously didn’t look but that’s in the past now just sorting it all out.
The engineer looking at my car is valued the car at 3.5k with .5k for salvage
In my opinion 3k would be just enough to put the omega back on the road as all I need is front and rear bumper headlights and possibly a few silly things (have another omega for parts)
Reason y I want to put her back on the road is because during difficult times (covid) that’s what I spent my time working on and building to completion it’s was also my first project car so it has significant sentimental value to me now and always will
I appreciate your assistance and guidance everyone!

Lucky enough I had the car insured in a modified car insurance, yes I lowered the omega but that was my choice my car ( some of u Gona hate me for it) so all mods declared etc
Now it only happened Monday and I tryed talking to your man because he pulled out in-front of me on a dual carriageway. But he was being very ingorent towards me cause I’m young. Anyways the other day his insurance company called me to ask me to fix the damaged obviously I sad no cause I wasn’t at fault so yes it’s too far down the line to sort anything between us unfortunately but it is what it is. Now I bought the car last year for 1000 then striped it down and started working on it 12 months and 2000 pound later she was on the road redone breaks etc etc the list goes on even had to paint parts of her yes the car is costing me 3000 pound but I feel like it was worth more due to the little you acc see of them and it being high spec too.

Omega General Help / Re: Multiple faults on my 3.2 omega? Help!
« on: 01 April 2021, 09:17:30 »
You say you've just had the belt done. Did the car come back with these faults? Or have they appeared since the belt was done? How long ago was the belt done? (Time/Miles) You also say a 'lot of other work', can you expand?

Engine work was timing belt fan belt spark plugs, full oil water service on everything even pollen filter, starter got reconditioned and so did the alternator
Rest of the work was breaks bearings exhaust/exhaust manifold, engine mounts.
When I got the timing belt done it would of been November/December, buy a qualified mechanic which does all of my work I don’t know how to do or don’t want to attempt to do. I done 500 miles when I noticed the misfire but checked last night with his code reader.  Codes cleared this moring but obviously there’s something wrong when it keeps coming up.

The 0520 is probably 0430, and was factory fitted along with the 0420... (pre cat efficiency codes) Basically, Wynns fuel treatment plus a full tank of Shell V-Power (or whatever it is called this week) and rag the living daylights out of it. If you get more than 200 miles out of it then you weren't trying.

But first, remove the 246 coil pack and fix whatever you find... Oil/water in the plug wells (replace the camcover seals/remove foam from the scuttle) / crap plugs/knackered coil pack.

The 1114 might be another red herring, but check all the vacuum lines and plugs, especially the multi ram ones.

When I changed the spark plugs there was water sitting on top of the spark plugs so we sucked it all out could that of caused the coil pack to become faulty?

Omega General Help / Multiple faults on my 3.2 omega? Help!
« on: 31 March 2021, 22:43:01 »
I recently got MOT for my omega while happy and pleased with myself as I done 99% of the work
On the other hand I’m not mechanical minded in where things are now I have 7 faults on my dash and I’m using my omega as my daily currently while I’m replacing the gear box in another
The fault codes read
P1111-4 intake manifold 2 open
P0420-1 catalysts system Efficiency below threshold(bank1)
P0520-2 catalyst system efficiency below threshold bank 2
P0300-1 random multiple cylinder misfire
P0302-1 cylinder 2 misfire
P0306-1 cylinder 6 misfire
Before I had the car threw MOT I changed spark plugs to NGK and got the timing belt , water pump and fan belt, done a lot of other work but that was the main work done on the engine I tryed to clean them already but nothing turns off  if anyone could shine any light on now to go about sloving problems before I buy coil packs at 125 for a set, I would be greatly appreciated,
