Sorry Kate, but the money you are about to invest in that rotten pear would be better off put towards a better example. 

If fuel economy is an issue, why not get something which is actually efficient? 

+1,not worth the bother when for similar outlay you could another or something else with probably a years ticket.

Thanks Doc.

Having slept on it I think that the work is too much for me. Another Omega would be a much better option.

Five pages to get to where we were on reply number three.

Yes it has been great to promote a healthy discussion. 

I've changed my mind actually. I'm off to hire a welder.

I think I'll advertise this poor old miggy for spares to try and get some money back that I paid out for train fares and the parts I bought.

On the outside that looks a tidy example, shudder what to think my 2.2's sills are like

It's such a shame as she's lovely to drive and the engine and gearbox are great.

Thanks Doc.

No no no. Every bloody omega you buy is a money pit, buy something that's newer, and  doesn't. Need constant maintenance.
 The newest Omega is 13 years old, not 13 bloody months, buy something else. .

I know it's hard but listen to what people with experience and knowledgeable are telling you.

+1 especially if it's going to be sold in a few weeks/months time. Doesn't make any sense.

My Focus, 17 years old, just done 100k miles, 6 months ticket and still just about hits the official combined mpg figure of 31 mpg... (nearly 12mpg more than the black 3.2)... it saves me £25-30 every fill as it easily manages 330 miles per tank, about 50 miles more than either Omega I had.

No no no , fix it up and sell it to me for 99p 

[Viral_Jim]

Yup, if you are after cheap motoring, you can't beat either an astra or a focus. Cheap, simple mechanics, decent economy, even from the petrols.

Cases in point:

Astra

Another Astra

Focus

Of those, I'd opt for the astra with new cambelt and pump.

But don't buy a green one. 

[Viral_Jim]

STEMO; there's green and then there's GREEN
