Did my bit to bid it up,but I don't want to play any more...it's a pile of shite.

[ted_one]

I stopped at £450 because at a stretch that's what it's worth,and now it's stalled at £460....now there's a surprise

[steve6367]

So when I look, can you 'test' the self levelling?

[Steve B]

£700 tops ... looks a clean motor now the dealer got the hoover and cleaning up kit out

Looks good Steve.  But no details on service history like cam belt change, so beware.

However the price is good for a 95K Omega.

Must be tempting if you are in the market.

Have spoken to them and they have no history, going to take a quick look this morning though as it does look tidy in photos.

Steve,  you asked a few posts back about testing self levelling.  In the photos it looks like it is sitting about right for an Elite.  When starting the car , you should hear the SL  compessor start up & run for a short time , usually only about 30 seconds. Listen for it under the drivers side wheelarch , it sits behind the front bumper area.

There is also the possibility that standard shocks have been fitted in place of SL. Easy way to check that is look under the rear arches for the small bore black air feed line which plugs into the tops of each air shock.If standard non SL shocks have been fitted, the SL compressor should have been disabled .

Take a tape measure with you , with the car on a flat even surface,  measure from the ground through the centre of the wheels to the centre of the  wheelarch, an Elite should read 675mm on all 4 corners, give or take 5mm

To report back - SL fitted and seems working (thank for that advise).

However, ABS light on, speedo not working, boot very wet inside and little tiny bits of rust in normal places.

ABS / Speedo = new ECU? Or visit to Tech 2 to find out?

Water in the boot? I couldn't see where its getting in and no rust so assume not been wet for long.

Needs tyres soon too.

On the up side all seems to work insider, drives well, gear changes smooth and goes in a straight line. I'm quite tempted as a little project to replace the CD but suspect price could be a stumbling block.

That'll be the usual ABS ECU fault.  Can be repaired by sending off, about £200 - £300. Plus another £100 for swearbox removing the bastid thing.

There's plenty out there without those faults  Even with 400 quid knocked off you still got to fix the oppsing thing

Not easy access then!

Interestingly it's still on eBay, but now the price has gone up to £1,995

That is totally OTT, particularly for a silver car, we have one....... Getting a better 3.2 in black for less than half that price, and with history............

[Vamps]

Ah well, that's me out of the running, new bidder, anyone on here?..................

[blackviper90210]

Just looking at the pictures.... Did the Elite not have a boot spoiler fitted as standard?
