I am sure that car has been mentioned here before but could be wrong,the one I am thinking about was also a black elite but there was some discrepancy with the recorded milage

Certainly looks worth a Punt? Valve guides & seals are probably worn causing the smoking but may have poisoned  the cats, although the seller does not mention eml is on? Could be a lot of car for little money allowing scope for any work that needs doing. :-/

One of the pics shows the dash with engine idling, and no EML on, but thats not to say the bulbs haven't been removed...

I recon the Cats are fried, which mean big bucks! Probably only good for spares in that case...

If it was closer I'd chuck £5-600 at it for a punt... May be an easy fix, may not. The mileage isn't really a concern although I expect the servicing has been to Vx recommendation so will want a few quick oil changes and the breather cleaning ;)

I wouldn't say the smoke in the pictures was excessive myself :-/ :-/

Just to remind, this is the "Help Section" so if you have a problem with you car this is the place to post.

General Car Chat would be the section this needed posting in as its about a car but not a problem you have with it.

Disscussion Section is for posting anything other than the above.

Hope that helps  :y

Sorry Darth, that will be my fault.

Perhaps one of the mods can move it if they get a chance?  :y

VK53 *** was the black 3.2 Elite that had done in excess of 226,000 miles, and was then sold on here with circa 94k miles. Although I can't remember the sellers name, I think it's somewhere on here.
Charlie 3.2 was selling VA03 OOG, which has now been on ebay loads of times and is now on it's third attempt at being sold at Belle Vue.

I was also contemplating having a bid on this particular Omega. Selling my 2.6 Elite and using this as a cheap run around for a bit.

If you do, Josh, you can have a day or two of my time to help you with any issues it may have, as a thankyou for your recent kindness  :y
