After a breif ownership im now selling my omega.
Its a 2000 on an X plate (currently swapping my private plate over to my new volvo). Its a 2.5 Auto in CDX trim and has had a BRC sequential LPG gas conversion carried out proffessionaly by the previous owner. Usual spec like electric sunroof, climate, xenons, alloys, heated seats bla bla bla
Its in Silver colour, and has covere 107K miles. It has 6 months tax and october MOT. FULL stamped service history right up the last service at 96K last year
It also has a dual electric towbar fitted as the previous owner used to tow his small two berth caravan with it around the local campsites.
I bought it two months ago as a stop gap between losing my company car and getting a replacement, hence the purchase of a new volvo S40.
The previous owner was a retired gentleman who had owned it since buying it 2nd hand from a vauxhall dealer 5 years ago. Aparantly it was a rare find as it was 5 years old but in such good condition they put a network Q warranty on it.
he was the type of owner who gave it everything it needed. eg iridum spark plugs as it suited the gas conversion better. Its running on Michelin tyres, not cheap japanese things etc etc. Its also had special towing shocks fitted at the rear where you pump them up etc. (dont ask me :-/)
Since i got it, every common fault seems to have developed so ive spent a small fortune on it.
Its had;
New Dis Pack
New plug leads
New Water Pump
New LPG gas regulator
New LPG gas solenoid
Replacement ABS ECU
New Head DVD head unit (the CCR packed up)
All the above cost me just over £700
The LPG conversion was carried out 4 years ago, proffessionaly by an approved installer and i have the certifcate to pass to your insurance company if needed.
It now drives faultess and in all honesty i much prefer driving it than my new S40.
It does have a few faults though;
The Airbag light is on. This was diagnosed as 'drivers side squib' and aparantly a cheap fix if you can find one.
There is a little corrosion on the drivers side rear door.
There seems to be a rattle from the rear back corner. Doesnt sound structral or affecting the car in anyway, but god damn i cant find what it is. It passed its MOT (no advisories) with it so it cant be anything major.
Its realtively clean for a 10 year old and only just last week got its first car park ding on the rear passenger door
Other than the corrosion and the ding its brilliant.
all the electrics work, heated seats work fine, sunroof works fine etc etc.
as its on LPG it only costs 57p a litre to fill it up so while its priced a little more than an equivlant omega the LPG makes up for it (it was the reason i bought it in the first place)
Im looking for
£1500 or very close offer. i actually paid a little more than that two months ago and have spent £700 so im certainly not getting my money back
