Cars for Sale & wanted / 2000 (W) Black Facelift Auto GLS saloon - Poole
« on: 03 August 2010, 00:01:39 »
Right, I've been given a car so it's time sadly to get rid of the Omega.
It's got a fair few problems so I know it's not worth much, offers around £270 considered to stop me giving it to those annoying people at we buy any car...
2000 (W) Black auto facelift 2.5 GLS saloon - a couple of extras from the normal GLS spec, cruise and front fog lights. MOT is in place until November, tax until end of September. 117,000 miles
Issues!
Gearbox - it occasionally pops out of gear, when it does, if you press the sport button it will pop back in again with a bit of a thud. The thrust washer is intact (well was when I had it looked at when it first started happening) we replaced the ATF and it worked fine for a year or so but problem has come back.
Coolant - it's losing over a litre a month
Engine - Exhaust manifold gasket has gone so I understand - makes a tapping noise until it's warmed up
Aux belt - squeals in the winter - I changed the tensioner but this didn't fix it.
Heating - No heat from the cabin heaters - aircon is nice and cool though!
Exterior - trim missing off passenger side rear door, a couple of dents a fair few scratches
Interior - printer ink stains on all three sets of seats - a printer I was carrying leaked everywhere before I noticed...
Good ish bits
Tyres - new front tyres, rear ones a year old
Exhaust - New back box and one centre section this year - sounds too loud though still...
Cambelt - done at 89,000 miles
As you can see it's not in great nick - I'm used to all its faults but I understand it looks pretty bad when written down!
Any offers?

There appears to be a bit of teamwork going on between 2 players
Don't know about that, should have seen the rivalry between us on the last race especially!

It should work on AC with the battery taken out - this site says it's something you should do occasionally anyway to extend battery life http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2324229,00.asp

Another option which is less hassle is to use an umbrella company, when I was a contractor I used this lot http://www.giantgroup.com/Strongbox.aspx you're then effectively employed by them. You obviously won't take home as much money but they take care of everything including your tax claims.

As people have mentioned, the size of the screen makes a lot of difference. I have an HD projector - only 720p but project to about 103 inches and the difference between HD and non HD is huge on that sort of scale, even though it's not 1080p. A lot of people can't tell the difference between 720p and 1080p on anything smaller than 42 inches.
