An ex-plod car might very ell have had all its services, but they're generally abused, and some, in service ...... ask any of the plod/ex-plod here.

Well im making the 90 mile trip to broadstairs in the morning to find out.. Ive only had my new omega 2.2 auto for a couple of days but cant workout the lack throttle response... so im px this and my galant and then its someone elses headache

[Mr.OmegaMan]

Nope til august... but payay is a longway off. And i need an estate...no cash changing hands he will put six months tax on...

Not much more than the Galant then so why not use that while trying to sell it

Since my son managed to smash the rear side glass...ive lost interest plus i would have to spend more moneyon it for mot..
Lsd ?? Whats this ??

Also a 2001 car is likely to have been 'out' for 8 years now, so the first 120-140k will have seen it serviced, but who knows what has been done since

Both mine have full plod history, my '54 has full history from then, but the '03 has nothing post plod, but I did buy it from the mechanic responsible for it in service, and it has wanted for nowt The plod defect reports and job cards make for sobering reading though: tyres every 5k (sometimes less), TVP spent almost the same amount on body repairs in four years as they paid for the car to begin with services are done every 10k, with cambelts either every 40 or 80k depending on the force that had it.

Remember though, the 8 years since is plenty of time for abuse and neglect to kick in...

Yep ideally i would sell both privately...the galant is an estate and the dogs n**ts to drive, but mot up this month, and the rear qauter glass got smashed..   and the omega is a saloon..nice car but i have two dogs and four kids... the galants up for spares or repair...

This will prob get removed but how much you want for the gallant and hats its details

How did you find that out so quick.. theres a few bits to do to it..interior trim, rear parcel cover..but all in all a great looking and driving car.
Engine is sweet as a nut.. but the service book is missing so i will get the cambelt changed asap..
Im very happy....
