Vauxhall Signum 2.0i 16v turbo manual , any good  I believe mr opti has the full fat 2.whatever it is but this being the 2.0 not sure . Didnt realise they made a 2.0 petrol turbo 

My other deal fell through after no contact from the seller after an initial agreement

Goes alright, but thirsty due to being only a five speed close ratio box... 75 is about 3500 RPM iirc

[Mr.OmegaMan]

Signum shape is growing on me tbh.. Sure Lord Opti has the 2.8 V6 Turbo Elite variant around a 2007 plate. They are good value for money now an all.

And then there is the 3.2 elite .. which would you suggest . all very affordable

Quite like the shape of the signum especially its stance

Yep.....it's a bit of a wolf in sheep's clothing. 250 BHP and 258lb ft of torque at 1800 RPM. With a remap 300 BHP and 400 pounds of torque....all through the front wheels though.

Nobody gives it a second glance .....which I like.

Out of curiosity what are the recommended intervals mileage/years to change the cam belt on the 2.8 engine, Same as the Omega?  Presumably a cam-belt fitted to these?

Have also been wondering about the reliability of the Turbo, Any known issues or an expected life span.. Would have thought a new Turbo wouldn't be cheap.

[Mr.OmegaMan]

Even the later 2.8 V6 are in the (good) Omega 3.2 price range now 

This one LINK for example £1,490 on an '06' plate

Good to know 

[Field Marshal Dr. Opti]

The Signum 2.8 V6 is extremely rare.

Plenty of derv drinkers for sale but not many Signums with a'proper' engine.

Ive emailed him but i think hes still laughing on the floor about the price i want for mine as part ex     

[biggriffin]

That engine respond's well to being chipped, and improve's fuel conzumption

Really not a fan of the looks outside or that interior

Inside is pure Vectra so dull as ditchwater. The exterior looks are slowly growing on me although the Signum does appear to have a 'big arse' when viewed from behind.
