Does that mean then if I swap the spare wheel on my Elite for an alloy I will also have a 300bhp police spec car.  loads of toys, sat and fully electric seats.

Cor, I did'nt know uprades were that simple. ::) ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

is it short, or just the angle it's being looked at?  ;) fernar fernar

Shame the pictures are so rubbish as well that you can't actually read the badges on the back.

oh and if it's missing a passenger side headlamp washer, than that'll fail the mot - so saying he can't see any reason why not is a bit of a contradiction!

Vectra Elite Estate doing good post-Omega service but still not as nice to sit in.

One last Omega on the drive, one Corsa on the lawn...maybe they'll go to a good home before too long!

Well I've just sent him a question ....

Can you confirm the BHP output as AFAIK the highest BHP was the 3.2V6 at 217 BHP  so what has been done to this to get 300 BHP ?? Also, do you have the missing headlight washer as that will cause an MOT fail ... headlight washers are mandatory for HID lights ... :(

Regards

Entwood

I wonder what the answer will be ....   ;D ;D ;D ;D

Edit ...... This is it ...  :)

I did ask for a breakdown of the mods as i have a genuine 263bhp (with printout) myself ,and have been told this is near to all i will get, he could not produce the facts and said the engine mods were done by a previous owner...

And the rest.......

Anybody who is insured to drive any other car (and that's most of us) will be allowed to legally drive it...so his excuse of you can start it but not drive it because he's not insured is a load of crap.....just ask yourself why you can't drive it before you buy  ;)


PS
Don't bother asking yourself why you can't drive it, I'll tell you why.......he doesn't want you to know it's a piece of s*it with the handling capabilities of a 1973 3 litre Capri running on 165's in the pi$$ing rain!

You cant drive another car under your own insurance unless that car is insured itself, I guess he has lapsed the insurance ;D

As KW said, if you are insured to drive "any" other car.  Bur a lot of policies only allow 3rd party cover, and as mentioned only the the car is insured by the owner.

My mate who moved my GLS last week for example has a trade policy, so he is insured regarless (up to his limit and limitations)

 Common misconception, it comes down to each individual policy wording.

 Being a yoof, DOC cover is but a dream to me, though...

Yep seems most policies do not allow third party cover for other (insured) cars unless you are 25 plus ;) and of course you need a fully comp policy to get that anyway!
