Got a new car... Pimp Wagon is going...

[PaulW]

... So say hello to the Big Green Bogey

2.5i V6 GLS











Needs sorting... ABS/TC is shot - £80-£100 from Scrappy
Speedo dont work - new speedo cable/sensor depending if electric/cable driven

£350

[PaulW]

Aye I cant wait to collect it Just need to get a few things sorted, then MOT & Tax it, all good!

Carlton is pretty much the same as the Omega really, kinda like what the Nova is to the Corsa-B...

Also, its £30 cheaper to insure compared to the Scorpio ??? ???

Scorpio - 2ltr 16v Auto... BASIC Model (nothing fancy)

Omega - 2.5i V6 24v GLS Saloon, Loads of extras...

Scorpio was Sainsbury, wouldnt quote me on the Omega, but the Omega is Endsleigh, and they originally wouldnt quote me on the Scorpio! Go figure...

[DannyBoy]

[Adam-D]

i did it in a sierra ghia 4x4

paul knows

[srmtor_corsa]

whats with the automatic, is it for a more classy, refined kind of driver?

[PaulW]

the automatic is for me being a lazy sod!

Well... picked it up this morning

its mint Seriously! Condition of the bodywork, there is like a few small scrapes, but its just so good! Interior is quality, no tears/wear, ace!

Took it for an MOT, get a good check over, and it failed...

Rear section of exhaust is rusted
Play in the NS steering rack arm, but about 3-4mm play up & down only, not front/back... mechanic said its pish easy to fix and will cost bugger all!

Also, the issue with the speedo/abs/tc... the NSR ABS Sensor is whats playing up, he had a check on the Tech2 for diagnostics and its the fault being shown, so no need to replace the ABS control unit at all Gave the sensor a clean & a good hit with a hammer & it actually worked for 3.6 miles then packed in again & the ABS/TC lights came on & the speedo died ahwell!

£350 car... worth easy 1.2k ish mark...

Well chuffed

[PaulW]

If anything simon, its bloody good news! the guy also said other than that, its one of the best condition omega\'s he has seen in quite some time! which was a good thing to know! said its spotless underneath, no rust, engine has no leaks & is spotless, just ace!

However... £15 to 10 miles before giving it some... plus span the back end out on a corner in the wet when the TC went off again cos of the damned ABS sensor

[srmtor_corsa]
