Car Parts, bits For Sale & Wanted / Re: F/S LSD
« on: 08 July 2013, 17:41:14 »Im guessing its a 3.7 Ratio.
3.0 Plod Manual with calibrated speedo in 5th gear -
3.7 LSD Diff at 70mph = 2550 rpm
3.9 LSD Diff at 70mph = 3000 rpm
And yes, getting very rare now, good working LSD for the Migs now are like Hens Teeth.
Sorry that's my mistake it's 70 at 3000rpm, thanks

Hi
I have a parcel shelf with no speaker holes ( the rarer one) complete with electric blind, all working no knocks or anything on up or down smooth operation excellent cond
If you need the blind switch can chuck that in that too
£40 collected from Reading
I think postage would be about £12.00 due to size and weight

Car Parts, bits For Sale & Wanted / F/S LSD
« on: 07 July 2013, 21:05:07 »
Hi
I am having an Omega clear out as the car has now gone, one of the parts I gathered in Jan was an LSD from a 3.0 manual plod, the diff ratio is 3.90
If it helps the X30XE plod it came off did 80mph at 3000rpm
Price £220 collection from Reading, I paid £250 for it as was worried it would be one of the last
Its in my garage so doesn't have to be removed or anything

General Car Chat / Last registered Omega
« on: 04 July 2013, 21:36:59 »
Hi
I remember reading somewhere that the last Omega to come off the production line was a silver 53 Elite ( I could be wrong going by memory)
Although I know of atleast 2 ex plods that are 54 plates,
How can that be, or is it that the Police just didn't bother registering them for a while
Just curious really

« on: 01 July 2013, 21:42:56 »
My cousin who we all refer to as the hobbit as he didn't come out for about 3 years, lived at home with his parents and saved 40k
He just purchased a modest 3 bed semi although still has to stump up 900 quid every month for his mortgage
I am not convinced the sacrifices he made and will continue to make are worth it given IMHO the house he purchased is at its peak value if not overpriced
Guess we will see how the housing market goes

Cars for Sale & wanted / 3.2 Auto Ex Plod F/S No MOT
« on: 01 July 2013, 19:52:22 »
Hi all
Been away for bit ( long story )
In short the car has to go, I had so many plans of restoring this back to fully liveried show piece
Anyway here goes
The vehicle is a bit of a rarity in that it only serviced the police for approx 18 months when it was retired and purchased by an elderly lady in Henley on Thames as she liked the look of it, It spent the next 10 or so years pottering round the roads of Henley covering around 10 miles a day until I purchased it in April. The car was based at Bicester as the M40 patrol vehicle, it was one of the very last vehicles to carry the jam roll livery I have the police service records, and the bill of sale to the lady that purchased it now having 2 previous keepers
Overall body work not just for ex police but for any car of this age is very good, it has all police arial holes plugged in the roof and in the door trim, interior wise it carries the special (cd) interior inc the police roof lining, there is several mounting holes for there equipment in the dash and surrounding areas and the ash tray is missing as was previously taken up by equipment
I have mountains of paperwork from Vauxhall where it was serviced and MOTed detailing every part ever replaced over the last 10 years, the CDR 2005 was purchased from VX by the previous keeper, I have all the manuals and key codes available for the stereo and the full owners wallet and pack, I also have the original bronze key ring from the police carrying the police identification number
The car had new cam gaskets last year, with receipts to prove, on purchasing the vehicle I had new plugs, new fuel filter, oil filter, air filter, full oil change carried out
Good Bits
Only 2 previous keepers
Overall very good condition
Engine runs and drives perfectly
Becoming rare now limited slip differential LSD
Stacks of paperwork and receipts
Full service just carried out
Overall originality of the vehicle
Tax until November
Bad Bits
CAT sensor fault codes showing ( the previous owner advised these had been on purchasing in 2003) receipts to prove multiple VX investigations carried out, as it doesn't effect the day to day use it was left as is
Interior has various holes
Missing ash tray
Passenger arch lip has surface rust shown in pic, you have to look from underneath as unable to see side on
MOT expired end of June ( due to no other reason than I'll health I unfortunately unintentionally allowed it to expire )
Front passenger wishbone knocking over bumps
Slight bubble to aerial plug
Age related marks here and there
Scratches scuffs to front and rear bumper
Cam belt needs doing as the only record I have for it is 8 years ago last week
If it doesn't sell within a week or so I will break, having broke these before I know it will bring in a lot more
Pics on there way
Price £550
If you have any questions please let me know
