Title: Do i sell,scrap or break ??????? that is the question?
Post by: hit it with a hammer on 11 April 2013, 16:27:37
Ok,it is a silver 2002 vauxhall Omega CD Auto.10600 miles in good condition (ish)
 4 month tax and 6 month mot....
the oil cooler is foobared, and i cant be bothered as i have a new 4x4 toy to play with.
the car still starts and drives as good as always but every now and then it flashes up the  emissions light (due to the oil water mix)
it has a few new good bits on it like cross drilled vented discs,a 1 week old battery that just cost £75,a brand new vauxhall cam belt kit (not fitted)
in dash flip out 7''screen,2x 7'' headrest screens,dvd and digital freeview.
so any suggestions on what to do with it? :o

As OP has decided what he is going to do now then there is no further need for this (very borderline sales) thread.

handcuffs away!!
