Hi all, Just thought I'd say hello and thank you for a brilliant forum. I've found out loads of info already by reading the previous posts.
Just got my 1st Omega. It's a 1997 'P' 2.0 GLS Auto saloon. I did a straight swap with one of my sons friends for a 1996 Pug 106 1.5D. Good swap I recon. He was fed up with putting fuel in the Omega as he has to drive around during the day for his job and I was fed up with shoe-horning myself into the 106 (I'm 6ft 2).
The Omega is pretty tidy, but has the knocking when going over bumps and the rising revs on tickover problem. I am hoping to get the wishbones checked in the next couple of days and clear out the breathers (could someone give me a clue where they are?!).
On the plus side there is a lot of recent main dealer service history with the car. The cambelt was changed at 82,000. The car has now covered 106,000. How ofter should the cambelt be changed?
I am loving driving the car, I'd forgotten how nice these big Vauxhalls are. I would have preferred a 3.0 Elite but beggars can't be choosers!
