I won't link to it, but that silver MV6 which has been doing the rounds has serious issues that the unwary might not spot... have taken the liberty of asking the seller three questions, the most important of which is regarding the service history...

Hi there, I am considering your car, and had a few questions...

1.  You say it has a limited slip diff. Apparently it was never built with one. When was it fitted and what proof is there of this.

2. When was the car reupholstered, and again what evidence of this is there? Vauxhall never offered nappa leather on the Omega.

3. Looking at the service history, the car was serviced on the 8/11/12 at 79k and four stamps later it seems to have been serviced again on 7/11/12 at 98k. Which is correct and are there any receipts to back this up?

I will post the answers, if any, when they arrive...

Well that looks like I am owed three pints then...

i was told the car has lsd by previous owner also the leather is different to elite models the service history both dates are 7-11-12 98k Vauxhall made a mistake and entered it twice in the service book in the pictures looks like 8 but its 7 also mileage looks like 79 but is actually 98 you can even phone the Vauxhall dealer yourself to verify history thx

Which leads me to ask the following...

Hi there,

I take it then that the previous owner had no paperwork to verify the differential change then, as I have a mate who is a service manager at a Vauxhall dealership, and he has been able to get the factory build data from the factory. No mention of a limited slip diff on the build sheet...

Yes the sports seats are a different shape to the Elite ones, but the leather is the same. Neither model had Nappa leather from new.

Regarding the service history, I understand that mistakes happen, but that doesn't explain how Service number 8 was filled in by accident over two years after Service number 9.

Again, do you have any paperwork to corroberate what you are claiming?

Again, I shall keep you posted with any reply...

If Vauxhall put Nappa leather in the anything, it would be all over the brochure...
