Would be nice to think it could be Crank Sensor, you never know though, wouldn't be the first time Ive seen a 2.6/3.2 main ECU become intermittent or give up, or immobiliser, HG, Coolant dump who knows. :-\

Shame its only got a couple of days MOT left on it, Trailer Job, unknown history and condition. Pic are poor, description is short, very short, always a bit dubious of that.

Could be worth a punt to someone. :-\

Which is why I would only bid after viewing but too far away for me.

2.6 with NCDC 2015. Unusual. Would have made a good breaker if I were still that way inclined.
Looks like an irmy steering wheel too. Almost worth the BIN just for that.
Low miles too. Theres money to be made from that car.

Just to conclude - or inform - I clicked on the Buy It Now for this Omega, I am only 20 miles away and took a chance on it being a genuine car and a genuine seller - it wasn't.

When I got a contact number for the seller I googled it and discovered he is a mechanic (who specializes in diagnostics) and also a trader with a website and facebook selling page etc, when I spoke to him he was very vague on simple details like how long he has owned it, if he has the V5 and even what his address is - he even asked me to pay by bank transfer!  So I arranged to collect yesterday (and pay cash on collection) I knew by then that there was something not right with either the car or the seller and quite probably both.  I found the car parked in the street, it was untidy and had been abused hence the rubbish pics on the ebay ad.  knocked on the door of the address given, they had never heard of the seller.  So at that point I decided that there were too many negatives and bailed out of the deal.

I daresay it wil be relisted at some point but "buyer beware".
