Cheap Vectras are common enough that you don't need to piss about with ones with major issues, IMHO.

As long as the first one goes ok and has no turbo issues then it'll be fine. Had one before the Omega and it drove fine and was making more power than standard even after over 200,000 miles. 500ml of 2 stroke oil in the tank every fill up quietens it down a bit and gives the pump a bit more lubrication.

There's an 05 diesel with 70,000 miles up the road from me, 150bhp and a 6 speed box. It has oil in the water and he wants £1100 for it

Thats enough if the head is fubar and needs replacing.
