Promising ad apart from the mileage, mv6 estate with heated sports black leather and 2013 with CID. Condition not up to scratch as mine is in better nic with similar miles and year, but it needs a lot of work so not worth my bother tbh.

Any thoughts.. .? Someone here may want it though. Silly bugger wouldn't let me drive it, must be hiding further faults I guess. :-/

Thats going to be the problem with any Omega now i feel, nearly every single one you will look at will need cambelt kit, coolant, oil, breathers, suspension and so on.  :(

 :-? :-? :-? :-? :-? all depends when they were last done!  :-?

Things like cambelt its only going to be someones say so, even if there is a garage receipt, who's to say tensioners were not changed? Its just not worth the risk in my opinion, just spent £2k on a car, might as well spend another £150 on a good service.

When we got our Facelift Elite Estate, we changed the cambelt, even though paper work said less than 10k ago, very nice couple sold it to us, had no reason to doubt them, but just better to be safe than sorry.

You know the timing will be spot on and its good for 40k

traders just hope people will kick the tyres like the colour and hand over the cash. But i wonder, anyone clued up enough to want an omega in the first place would know the faults and problems with them. This guy kept making comments like "how many people are going to notice that" and "we just pass that stuff over the new keeper" and so on, excuse after excuse, all 'dangle berries'. Dont think they've had many omega's through the books.
