Looks very nice !!  :y :y

I'll try to get some more pic's on over the weekend and you will see the job I have! Lol.....
I do love these cars and I believe they are worth saving. Just don't tell the wife about how much it will cost! Lol.... ;)


Oh yes...

I always have to get my cash card pass to get jobs done on mine , if she who must be obeyed let's me  :D :D :D

I love these cars to bits, ask any current serving Roads Policing Officer and Im sure they will agree,  most hate the new Volvo T6's , they miss the Omega's and T5's .....  and very soon most counties going to diesel ..so no petrol cars in service :'( :'( :'(

Ploppy  :y

I just love the way she drives, Actually, when I get it, I found I loved the drive but then I found the rear springs were broken, THEN I found out how much the police spec sring are from Vauxhall! I was floored! Then I fitted GMax spring kit, £110 or something like that, my ride hight wend down a bit as did my insurance! Wiw, win... AND she's even better!!!  :D :D :D :D :D :y :y :y :y :y

It is yes, The police spec' rear springs broke and when I called Vauxhall and they told me how huch they cost, I almost fell off my chair!
They are now G-Max -35 I think???? The best part is when I called my insurance to tell them it's lowered, they gave me a refund! It rides so nice too! Firm bust not harsh!  :y

Alot of us guys use AndyC.  He's an Omega man and is also the parts manager at Vxl in Bury St Edmunds!!  He'll post parts out to you very reasonably too!!   :y :y
