I'm genuinely interested and I might go have a look.

I emailed the seller this:

YOU:

Hi Colin, very interested in your omega, and just have a few queries

1) MOT history shows advisories for a rear wheel bearing at both the last tests. Is this job still outstanding?

2) MOT in March also says engine light was illuminated. Is this still the case?

3) Reference the LPG does it work faultlessly and drive the same as it does on petrol - and do you have an LPG safety certificate? (I note the vehicle is not on the UK LPGA register, which is required by most insurers, but can be easily added if an installation certificate exists).

4) Is it definitely a factory install? I only ask as when I did MOT checks, I see its not listed as such with DVLA.

5) Are there any other faults?

Thanks in advance for considering my questions, I am aware of the cars age and mileage no way being picky or expecting a showroom car - I do however think yours looks very tidy and I'm interested in owning it, I'm a long distance away so just checking as much as I can before bidding!

Cheers
James

The seller responded with this

Am back in the country tomorrow so will reply. It has MOT until April 2017 so  that may answer some of your questions. I was informed it was factory fit conversion in 2003. If there is no record it it on DVLA web how come they reduce the road tax. NEVER trust info you read on the web and in particular Government web sites. They would have trouble organising sex in a brothel

I like his answer but just because it is getting a discount on RFL doesn't mean it was "factory fitted"!

UKLPG website is useless anyway... Most insurers require the log book to recorded it as LPG Bi-Fuel or the likes...

....... injectors aren't cheap if needed - £295+p&p and VAT per set of 4 (not sure they're available as 6), and that was a few years back

I know they're not the same ......

a lad at  work needed a new injector for his diseasal Golf ...... IIRC it was nearer £500 and then needed coding

I was in the VW at Bury getting some parts and the guy in front of me asked for the price of one injector and it was about £450

A friend used to have a 3l 6cyl VW Touareg and all 6 injectors had problems at the same time. The dealer thought it had probably been caused by fuel contamination. He was quoted £450 x 6 plus fitting. He managed to source 6 from a written off Touareg at a snip of £250 each.  This was not long after a £500 bill for a DPF replacement. As soon as he had fixed it, he cut his losses, by replacing it.

If the car genuinely started life in Germany... Thinking Military tax-free purchase, then the LPG kit may well have been fitted to a decent standard... However, it sounds like that paperwork is not with the car.

Seller also sounds everyone slightly evasive in response to direct questions.

That said, it's an Omega, what's the worst that can happen...

Really cheap to run, these tractors.

Could be wrong, but with the Millage (156K), Elite and LPG option reckon that could go around or above the 1K mark.

And worth every penny.

Did you get it James?
