2001 VAUXHALL OMEGA

Welcome to the sale of my 2001 Vauxhall Omega CDX estate.

Details:

2.6 V6 CDX

Automatic

62,500 miles (going up a bit as it's in use here and there)

MOT: 30/09/26

Come get your 24 carat piece of Festival of the Unexceptional deep fried gold.

This is a really neat survivor car. Owned by an old gent previously and covering very little mileage. It’s in fantastic condition and is complete, original Omega floormats, load cover (which is fully working), Picador keyring/stickers etc

The only reason for sale is driveway space with one of my E46s coming back from a long bit of work being carried out otherwise I’d keeping this glorious old thing for a while.

Spec:

4 electric windows with auto open/close

Remote central locking

Electric sunroof

Dual zone climate control - working A/C blows nice and cold

Bi-Xenon lights (these are incredible, far better than all of my same era BMWs)

Cruise control

Heated seats

Heated electric mirrors

Electric seat height adjustment

Clever split folding seats with cavernous boot

Engine:

The 2.6 Y26SE is an absolute gem. First of the fly by wire engines it’s not all that bad on fuel and sounds at least as good as the Alfa Romeo Busso on song (honestly, I’ve not been drinking). It’s had a decent amount of recommissioning for fuel system and sensors and works beautifully. Recent replacement of rocker cover gaskets too so the oil stays in.

Exterior:

It's in great shape with some minor old man scuffs at each of the four corners and two small car park dinks on doors.

Absolutely no grot anywhere with the usual C-pillar/doorshut areas being pristine. Underside is also in fantastic condition, which I had a good nosey around during the current MOT.

Interior:

In great condition with all of the clever split seat folding and headrest stowage working as it should. Original Omega mats in place and no stains, rips or burns anywhere on the wonderful velour-ish interior

Everything works as it should in here.

Suspension & Brakes:

Recent minor recommissioning. New discs and pads, fluid flush and bleed. The brakes now work - please don’t expect an early 00s BMW pedal feel but once you get used to the very Vauxhall calibration they stop very well.

All in all handles and stops nicely and with the brand new Uniroyal Rainsport 5s (datecodes all 4x24) it’s ready to tackle the British winter with aplomb.

Since I bought it I’ve done the usual recommissioning for a car that gets used 1000 miles in 7 years. New fuel pump, in-tank fuel lines, fuel filter, oil + filter service, crank sensor (a curse word of a job) camshaft sensor, throttle potentiometer (the equivalent of a TPS on these), rocker cover gaskets and a bunch of other bits that I've probably forgotten.

The Porsche Macan 18s with brand new pair matched Bridgestones and Pirellis are available separately – you can see what they look like in the last pic.
