No....  :(

Just some intake gaskets... the type of thing you don't normally replace anyway unless there actually damaged.

No i didnt buy it MJ.....my final offer was £350...

It was for a 1999 Omega 3L Elite Estate 135k miles.....leather/sat nav (no not colour Mark  ;) )

I think £350 was fair for what i believe it had wrong........ a knackered oil cooler (owner thought it was head gasket gone)
Mind you it could have had a host of other things wrong as it didnt have an MOT either!
Plus i have to factor into the equation, it woud have cost me another £120 to have it recovered to Swindon.


Oh well i'll keep searching.......
