Might have to talk sweetly to family (or credit card).. but I reckon I might test this one out, to put the LPG kit on. Seems like a great car for the money, given the full MOT.
Looks like all it needs are the foglights sorting.
Thoughts?

That would look a million dollars with some Elite alloys and my leather interior...
-
I reckon play the cards right, and I could break the V6 for enough to almost cover the cost of this.... it's worth more to break than sell whole...

Believe it or not, although I get stick about the amount of time I spend on the forum, she absolutely loves my Omega's!
She was a big reason I kept the V6 and got shot of the rover. She said she'd been spoilt with the Omega, and didn't like driving about in a diesel go-kart!!!!
(Mind you, I had to agree with her...)

It is a CD (wheels, sunroof)
How is it for rust?
Where is it?
-
It's near Somerset
The guy tells me there is no rust to be seen
Comes with a full MOT, and he promises me it is faultless.
I'm going to try and view it tomorrow night straight after work.

Looks a tidy example, odd fog lights though, it looks like someone has fitted a stupidly massive one on the offside :-/
Other than that looks good, any history on it? - Belt / Ten / Pump ect??
Its a 4pot i take it? for the LPG. IF you do the belt, tensioners, pump ect.... i may do mine too. Its just ticked over on 99k and got awful thoughts about the place i bought it from just replacing the belt....
What are the costs on TC for full belt change including pump ect for 4pots?
-
looks ok -tidy motor. my misses got cheesed with me running on about my new facelift cdx but sunday morning trip to the car boot changed her mind she was smitten wiv it!!

I took a m8 to uni as he was late to submit an assignment, going along the bump roads here to uni... my m8 said "Dude this is the smoothest car i have ever been in, seriously its like silk sitting here"
Made me smile.... on the way back I chucked it around a bit to show a 1.7 ton car thats as long as a barge goes around corners quite well too ;)

Tunnie, you get the bits, and we'll do the belt together when I pick up the seats from you. Peice of cake on the 2.2
We'll also get that rear timing cover off and have a stab at that bolt
Better be safe than sorry.

Very kind offer m8, might very well take you up on that. But got any idea on costs?? If its around 100 ish I can do it, if its much more its going to be a problem.
-
I would do the belt kit and pump as a matter of course if the car is that tidy and I'm fitting the LPG on it.
It's done 90k, with part history. But to be honest, if it goes well, steers and stops well, and has a tidy body... It's £495!
What I would hope to do, is break my V6, and make back the best part of that.

I can't see it being an awful lot more, I think the belt kits for the 4 pot are in the region of 50/60 quid on ebay, and I can't see the pump being that again, so you should be ok...
-
I'd get it from Vaux on TC... just a personal preference. eBay has its uses..... but not for critical components on my car imo. I'd fit it to project cars, but not my own ;) :y
I'll ring the dealer tomorrow and get some prices and see what they say :y
-
To be honest tunnie, if it's a contitech kit with SKF bearings, which most are, then it's gonna be the same stuff the dealer would supply anyway.
Either way, good luck :y

2.2 cambelt kit £80 + VAT (68 for 2.0). Waterpump is more expensive than v6 one, but dont have price to hand. (TC prices)

Cheers Jaime, looking at £140 / £150 ish then :'(
-
just rang the dealer, water pump is £31.33 + vat... grand total for cambelt kit & water pump = £131.40 :'(
I take it the kit comes with tensioners, although I did not see any when I had the cam cover off.
-
Yeah, pump would be £35 ish inc (v6 one around £25). The cambelt kit includes tensioners etc (cambelt on its own is £27 + VAT, not that any sane person would only change this)

Try autovaux they supply Vx GM kit and although mine is a 2.0 litre I got both belt kit and waterpump for about £98 so worth a look. Price maybe similar being a 2.2 shouldn't be too much more.
Autovaux supplied me a bilstein waterpump which I had my doubts and contacted vx and they were going to sell me the same part for an extra £30 or something silly like that.
-
just rang autovaux
Genuine GM Kit £62.85 +Vat = 73.82
Waterpump £23.95 + vat = £28.14
Grand total £101.96!! :D

Result :y I knew it wouldn't be too much more.
The waterpump maybe a bilstein one but thats what Vx supply anyway.

Don't forget 5 litres of anti freeze (£8.50 inc on tc)

Oh just go get the 20 litre can ;) :y

The amount of antifreeze tunnie and i have got through this year makes me wish I had shares....
-
20 litres is something like £35 so saving is not much. :(

Perhaps after uni when I get stuck into projects again, we can go 50/50 on the big barrels of anti-free, oil ect.....

Smaller ones more convenient, and not hugely different pricewise, unless you start going for 205l drums of oil...

...but it does develop arm muscles lifting it from my dealer to the car park ;D
