...... looking out for the future owner who's engine will fall apart within the next few hundred miles unless s/he gets the cambelt done him/herself upon purchase!

hundreds of miles? A bit alarmist!  :-?
The car might very well go for another good few thousand miles as it is. The belt and tensioners on mine was changed nearer 50 000 miles on mine - I just couldn't find the time to change it at exactly 40 000.

Funnily enough, me as well.  ;) Including the question of what happened to the front seats....


Is the backrest adjuster missing from the drivers seat? :-/

I have seen too many belts go... its not worth the risk, it only costs around £100 and 2 hours....

Mine was changed after 15k as it did not sound right (dealer fitted) for someone with less knowledge it could easily let go.

I personally will change mine every 30k now....

Not when the chains and tensioners cost the same as what i paid for that car....

My point is that Omega's which are worth far more than my Senator, for the sake of £100 it can be changed more regularly...

Just got my response too:

Item: 2000 W VAUXHALL OMEGA 3.0 24v MV6 GREEN ALLOYS LEATHER (120106874773)
This message was sent while the listing was active.
thinkfast2006 is the seller.

the full print out from thames valley police shows it as being done in 2004.
