Omega General Help / Re: Bits
« on: Today at 10:51:32 »
I recently came across a well cared for / maintained 2.6 CD saloon in a breakers in Petrol Blue, which conveniently is the same colour as my 3.2. It was in presumably due to corrosion on the inner rear wheelarch bowls.
Although I don't urgently need the parts, I removed serviceable parts that I felt were worth keeping that are becoming difficult to find....
I removed the rear diff mounts, a GM steering idler, boot / bonnet struts, expansion bottle, rear caliper brake pins and antirattle springs, electric door mirrors, both front door handles (with keys) and both front door latches and central locking motors, light grey wheel nut caps, front and rear screen mouldings, interior dash switches, window switches, plus pockets full of clips, screws, caps etc etc....being the same colour, I also got the two trim pieces at the top of the rear wings as one of mine has a broken lug (not me! - already done when I got it).
Had it been a CDX or more so an Elite, there would have been a lot more I would have taken, but as it was a CD..... I'd have had the doors, boot lid and bonnet, but it's all storage issues....
If you still have an Omega it's worth saving all the known problematic parts, but if you are moving on, is it worth keeping them just to sell?
