1995 Vauxhall Omega elite 3.0 V6 from UK and Ireland
Summary:
Very cheap speed
Faults:
The clutch slave cylinder failed at 116000.
Oil leak from one of the rocker cover gaskets.
Interior is looking worn.
General Comments:
This is by far the fastest car I have ever owned. I have upset a few Mercedes drivers and BMW drivers and it only cost me £800.
The biggest let down is that the Clutch slave cylinder failed and when Vauxhall was asked for a quote they weren't even sure what a slave cylinder was.
It burns a bit of oil, but that is down to the rocker cover gasket, which I am told is a common fault on all v6 Omega's, when it next needs a service I shall probably get it fixed.
My only other gripe is that as it is an ex-police car it has no luxury at all not even electric windows.
The speed and handling more than make up for any problems and I am sure I will keep this car for a long time yet.
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

It is possible to apply voltage via the boot light in order to open the door, the boot live has a constant supply (right back to the battery) and works when it is earthed. Just make sure you don't use the earth wire to apply the volatge.
