Omega General Help / Gearbox oil to change or not to change

« on: 26 March 2018, 19:45:17 »

Hi all,
Just a quick shout out for advise.
After a successful weekend changing the Cambelt, plugs and oil my attention turns to the gearbox.
The car is a 2003 with the ar25 gearbox. It’s done 107k miles but has never had any gearbox work done.
I can’t feel or hear any issues from the box but I’m thinking maybe I should change the oil and filter.
What’s you thoughts?

Omega General Help / 2018 Rally Ready Omega Estate

« on: 03 December 2017, 20:50:38 »

Hi All,
New here but though i would start a thread to detail out some of the work i am planning on getting done to my new Omega Estate for the Barcelona Rally i am doing in 2018.
After searching long and hard for the right car i stumble onto a Omega owned by a fellow OOF member.
She has been loved but i need a little attention to get her ready for the 1500 mile or so rally next year.
Some of the tasks on my list:

Oil + Filter change
New Pads front
Front Tyre


and then the hardest job of them all
Cambelt
This is the one item that is well past due so will need to be done in the new year.
Tho i might need some assistance if anyone is able to or willing to loan me a locking kit?

There was a good discount day at ECP so i have already stocked up on some bits for new year



Other tasks will be to get her ready for the rally,
Im not sure i have the heart to fully spray her in some random color and totally destroy the bodywork.
But im sure we can get some wrap or loads of stickers.

I also had a good few years ago a Kenwood DNX7000 for a Vectra C. I have this in the loft so i hope i can get that connected up as it has the SatNav etc inbuilt.
Just need to also work out what to do with the BOSE system installed.

Loads to do but plenty of time to get her ready for the rally

Newbie Welcome Area / Hello From Tonbridge Kent

« on: 03 December 2017, 20:20:00 »

Hi All,
First post here but though i would say Hello to you all.
I have recently acquired a fellow OOF member car.
She is a 2.6 V6 Elite Estate with hopefully plenty of life left to give.
Its been well looked after with a fully service history most of at the main stealers. 

My self and some friends have been looking for a car to do a charity rally to Barcelona next year.
And when this came up for sale a stones throw from my house how could i say no.

I have been reviewing what needs to be done to get her ready for the 1500 mile trip but i think she will need to come home with me.
Im not sure i could leave her to be scraped in Spain. She has been so well look after it would be criminal.

Any way, I will be starting a page with progress on getting her ready for the rally next year.
But here is how she currently stands.
Thanks for viewing
