I dont know what to do as ive always wanted the estate version of the Omega and was considering a 2.2 petrol  Ive been put off buying a 2.2 because ive heard so many stories of head gaskets going  But this one would need to have had everything done for me to even think about exchanging mine for it as mine has had everything done and emptied my wallet 

2.2

And what does it mean by telephone equipment

CCR 2006 by the look of it... Is hands free pre wired perhaps

It looks clean enough and same spec as mine , all depends on the crucial service history like proper coolant changes ect on the 2.2 or its going to go pop  Pity no engine pics as that sometimes gives it away . I'll email them .

Pity I am not down at the caravan...I would have popped along to have a look. That phone number is Blanford Forum area, I think. I am going down next Sunday for three weeks, if you are still interested, and its still there, I will have a look for you, if you like
Just checked the number, and he also has a motor home for sale....and that's in Wimborne...even better for me

183.5k here on my 2.2, head gasket yet to blow. 2.2's so much better to work on 

I change the oil every ~5k - Coolant gets changed every 2 years.

I do expect the  HG to go at some point, as mine does appear to buck the trend.   

I'll have to get Daz or call in favours when it does blow.

Your on borrowed time

Thats the trouble with 2.2 unless the coolant system has been looked after , had the same on the 2.0 vectra where all the waterways had corroded and eaten into the head gasket 
Thanks for that offer terbert , ill see what he replies

If you did want it,we could do headgasket etc before you put it on the road

Yeah  He hasnt replied to my message so obviously not pushed to sell a car  Or he cant think of a reply as i asked him any service history ie:
Crucial cam belt changes
Coolant and oil and filter changes 

Would expect a good discount for no history .

T'uver end of the county. 

This one looks nice though.     It's a bit closer to Noofland, but sadly well out of Mr EMD's price range!

He seems to have mislaid all of the paperwork. That's unfortunate
