Time For Her To Go....
« on: 08 May 2008, 15:57:28 »
Confirmation today that i will have my change of plates complete by next Friday - Private plate off Miggy and onto Jaggy

So the MV6 is now available for sale, going on ebay at the weekend and on autotrader too.

Meantime ive started a thread in the for sale section with pictures to follow when i get home....

http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1210257758/0#0

Many on here have seen the car, some will fondly remember it as the car Stevie Wonder washed at the lakes `07.

Possibly the most challenging sale i have had to make ...car or otherwise.



And Yknow what - dont know if my Jag will get dropped in the future ( i have no plans) but I have this vivid image of there being a 3.2 MV6 in the fleet in years to come...either i will return or the wifes getting an upgrade  ::)

Good luck with the sale Markie, lets hope the Jag proves to be just as reliable as your MV6 has been ;)

Which Mondeo has a transfer box?

Also the interior trim can do some odd things - and that is Jaguar not Ford.

Just be carefull and watch the tyre wear

I wasnt aware they had a known issue, best return it for a refund then.

Martin - fully aware of the issues and the chances of it happening...

Probably the same as an Omega owner knowing about pre facelift rust, or hard to get to Dis Packs, proably the same as a Rover Owner and their Head failure, or  v8 bmw and the Nikasil issue...

You pays your money and takes your chances very few cars dont have weaknesses if the transfer box goes ( and by the way the show symptoms of it long before going) then it goes...and i`ll deal with it then...:y

...oh and theres a darn good place ( Independant Jag in Brum) that replaces transfer box for under £800....

Lets face it pop the Jag on the trailer and tow it down with the Jeep and fixed in a day  :y

As long as you know, my boss has had quite a few cars and so far he has had.

Saab 9-5 new turbo then later on new engine.

X Type - new transfer box, new shocks (wear and tear), self destructing interior trim.

BMW 535 - nothing went wrong just usual tyres ect
BMW 520 - needed head recondition at stupid high mileage
