General Discussion Area / Sold the old girl today (Omega that is and not the wife)

« on: 29 September 2013, 15:28:50 »

Well finally the end to an era of owning Omegas  

I met Zirk today, the proud owner of the beast and what a nice bloke he is especially when handing over pound notes

Zirk it was a pleasure to meet you today and hopefully when there is another Essex Omega meet you can make.
Hopefully you are happy with your new toy and get plenty of motoring miles out of her

I am hoping to arrange an Essex meet within the next few weeks   This depends on finding any available weekends due to other commitments, namely driving the kids here there and everywhere

So if you are interested in another meet keep an eye out in the meets section.

Best regards

JCB

Just to clarify a few points raised

The interior has wear marks on the back of the drivers and passengers seats and the drivers heated is non functioning. I will a picture later of the interior.
The LPG is a multipoint system and is fully working.  It has a 76L donut tank.

If there are any other related questions please ask

140amp regulator is prone to failure whereas the 120 is pretty much bulletproof.

I will go with the 120A one if I can get hold of one

I may have one John.Definitely have a 120 amp,but iirc 3.2 one is rated higher than that ?
Will check when Im at home tomorrow.

2.6/3.2 can be fitted with either 120 or 140amp but for reliability the 140 is shite

Rob - I take it from this you mean dont bother with the 140A

I would have thought the other way round  

Thanks for the info though , hopefully my neighbour Albs will have a working one

   I will phone them today to confirm we will be attending. look forward to meeting some of you who I havnt met before. I will be bringing Dave Waddington along with me. he is the chairman of ABS for those who dont know him. Also for those who dont know, he had a botched cateract operation done in hostpital that has left him blind in one eye and with no focusable vision in the other. not nice for someone who has a Lotus carlton on the drive and knowing that he will never be able to drive it again. I will post up directions/postcode shortly for those who dont know the area.
Keith B

Hopefully see you Saturday   Shame about Dave, I think I met him once in the past   Anyway see you Saturday,  weather and health dependant.
