.....the pathetic amount offered for this estate. This seller really knows his omegas and always does the cambelt before selling. What do people want? Free cars?

Realistically a good clean one of these should easily fetch £1,700.

I am slightly concerned he has failed to mentioned how many previous owners it has had.

£745... that is ridiculous!

I have met this seller in person. He bought a REALLY clapped out old CDX V6 from me, for spares/repairs for £150.

He uses the engine's/gearboxes out of old breakers etc to repair later cars, and then sell for profit.

Knowing that, I wouldn't want to pay anymore than a grand for it....

What I'm trying to say is, although this seller knows his cars (and I don't think does a bad job)

It could have a lump in it from a much older Omega....

Is that engine from a pre mini face lift with the shorter plenum chamber ?

[Martin_1962]

After noticing that I would not bid on that except for breaking!!

Bloody clown did that engine swap

Are you sure Martin?

The 2.5's all have the short plenum... only the 3.0 (and 2.6/3.2) had the extended one...

Also... Looking at the connectors in the engine bay.. they seem to be 98+...

[Martin_1962]

Were they - oh - I have only owned 3.0 or 2.6 never a 2.5 and I thought all later .25 were long plenum like the 3.0s

No, all 2.5 are short, as are early 3.0.

3.0l has longer plenum to increase capacity for the larger engine - the plenum volume should be tuned to capacity. Strictly, the 2.6 should ideally have shorter plenum, but GM had to fit the larger one to fit all the DBW servos.

OK thanks for clarification
