How easy are Miggys to "nick" then ? Not that easy I would have thought. :-\ :-\ Possibly a spare key held back by previous owner or someone they knew ? >:( >:( >:( unlikely but if its just been opened ,started & driven away.
Hope it turns up for you ,will keep my eyes peeled down here in Southend
-
I had exactly the same thoughts Al.Looks like someone had a spare key. ;)

Not the easiest to steal, i'd go with previous owner too ;)
-
Indeed might be worth a drive-by of the previous owners house/area.
with it double locked etc it is near on impossible to break into
-
Going down South today & will keep an aye out :y thankfully don't see many miggy's so should stick out ;) Bad news indeed :(
-
Thinking about this . . . was it a "private" buy ? you have only had it a week, you have to put your address onto the old V5 which the previous owner then sends off to DVLA for you receive a new one
Has only to have a spare key ( possible even if you got 2 keys with it )
He /she only has to hold back a key & give it & your address to someone he knows & they go around to yours unlock car & drive away.
Never thought of this scenario before . . .. bit worrying eh? :o :o :o :o :o
-
Agreed it has to be someone with a key,a deadlocked Vauxhall is a pain to get into without glass breakage
-
First thing that came to me was an additional key - best of luck getting it back will look out up here but not much chance
One for you experts - how easy would it be to put additional manual immobilisation on a mig. I used to have a hidden switch that grounded the coil on my older none ecu cars but would not know how to do on a modern car. Could you emulate the cars immobaliser? or stop the fuel pump from working?. It must be poss as the do it to that bait cars
-
Will keep an eye out.
This is why I clear out all the registered transponders off the immobiliser ECU and just put back on the ones I have with the vehicle on any Vauxhall I purchase.

How do you do that ?
-
You need a Tech II or Opelscanner (or possibly that other device we don't discuss!).
Quite often find 3 transponders registered which means a previous owner probably lost one of the keys in the past.
-
Maybe previous owner had outstanding fines or debt on the car and its been lifted :(

It certainly is, partly why I prefer to buy a car from a garage, but not exclusively and less likely with cheaper cars, I do hope that the OP finds his car in good order.... :y :y
-
Use East London to access London all the time, will keep my eyes peeled, although guessing its on different Plates by now or locked away somewhere, I take it the Police checked the National Data base just in case its been lifted by some Organisation.

firstly many thanks to you all for your comments i can now tell you the said miggy has been found on the back of a low loader nothing to do with the previouse owner seems there is more than one way of pinching a mig :y

Keep us all informed . . . interesting this of exactly what occured :-\ :-\ :-\ :-\
Glad its been found for you :y :y :y
-
Glad you found your car :y
-
Really glad that you've found your car!! :y :y :y
I wonder why they nicked a Mig? Afterall if you're going to go to those lengths to nick a car, surely you'd go for a more valuable motor?? ???
-
Apparently they are good cars for banger racing....

Its an easy £2-300 quid without much in the way of comeback as if vehicle is old police interest isn't going be that high :(
-
Apparently they fetch good money in Romania, as well as in Northern Africa!!

That's excellent news :y Keep us posted ;)
-
excellent news on finding your car ;),there are some cheeky gits around :o,what a nerve :y
-
Very odd, was it taken due to parking or something? Omega's are worth sod all & not very desirable to make vast amounts of money on it. So very odd why someone go to that much trouble :-\
-
its worth a couple of hundred for scrap.

Glad its been found , let us know how it got on the low loader though ???
-
Nice to hear someone got one back for a change. Still can't get my head round stealing Migs, there are easier cars to TWOC with more profit. :-\
-

they certainly are they will be the next granada soon i have seen 2 raced and are very strong
-
I hope you found it in good condition.
And if you want to know in Romania worth about 1000 euros for spare parts, and they are very rare models so no much interest. :)
Not worth registering the taxes are very high if the engines are over 2000cmc and under euro4 .
