Title: White Omega 2.5
Post by: Mr.OmegaMan on 07 June 2013, 23:40:52
Thought this would have been ex-plod but they tend to use 3.0/3.2 and don't have sunroof's and didn't think VX sold them to the general public in white, Someone sprayed it maybe ???

Hefty price also but does look clean.

There are a few non plod white ones, it's just it was never that a popular colour due to the Plod effect :y
Title: Re: White Omega 2.5
Post by: Field Marshal Dr. Opti on 08 June 2013, 11:21:19
Even if it isn't plod most people will think it is. :-\

85,000 miles isn't exactly low mileage, either........ My MV6 has done less.

Also, white does the car no favours in my opinion, and in CDX trim it is less desirable than an Elite.

Sorry guys, but £600 would be closer to the mark. :)

The DBW V6s have shit idles too, worse on fuel. Better looking engine bay though, less junk in there.
Title: Re: White Omega 2.5
Post by: tunnie on 08 June 2013, 21:39:20
Although will add, I much prefer the lighter DBW throttles :)

Yet so many times you have reminded us in last 40 years you have never bought genuine, nor will never start. You don't like £15 genuine oil and filter changes, too pricey for you.  Porkies here me thinks ;)

So bad workmanship killed your 2.5 then? I've changed oil coolers, it's straight forward.

Still stands that 2.5 is one of best engines ever fitted :)

Back to the 2.5 listed, looks like retail spec to me. Just rare white choice, looks very tidy. Shame it's an auto really.
