yep know what you mean-four pot handles better-imho  and easier to work on too

[paul_g]

Thats the best bit about it loads of room in engine bay  if its to bad i will get a 2000 2.2 model and brake mine for spaires or sell as spaires or repair . I am fed up as this is our families only car and has been a good work horse . Take us on camping trips with the trailer tent and tows that no problem as if its not on the back . Just have to wait until i get word from the garage tomrow . He is saying it will not be worth doing the head cheaper to get another car .

[symes]

cheaper to get another engine-than car-keep throttle body from original engine---saves programming on tech 2--if drive by wire--and engine change isnt hard on a four pot-try a v6 att winter outside--i did--but im nuts

[paul_g]

Lol could do . Been offered one for 800 for car and same colour as mine but on a w plate 

[symes]

fair play-just thought engine be a lot cheaper than £800+whatever that one needs

[paul_g]

Thats what i am worried about but owner live around the corner from me and has a lot of paper work with it on things he has had done plus service regularly .it has done 92000 been told that 2.2 is common to have head go at 96000 and this is what i dont want to go through again . 

[symes]

well mate only you can decide--mines on 256287 at moment-it a v6

[paul_g]

Well car is back from the garage and its been confirmed the head has gone . Thay have said 600 to fix so not bothering having it done will get another car and sell it as spaires or repair later hen i have removed  the toe bar. Thanks for all of your help and advice .

[Shackeng]

As advised earlier you have of course checked prices with Serek & Daz?

[paul_g]

I have not asked them yet . I am picking the new mig  on Saturday

Hope you get sorted and sorry to jump on your post .....but.....peeps know I have had quite a bit done on my 2.2CD,it is now clunking on the front (ordered new drop links) and also been told back coil spring has gone,had several "know it alls" work on the car over the last few years ......anyway,long story short.....I am thinking of getting hold of the guy in Huntingdon serck I think? (50 minutes from me ) and seeing if he will take the car with a decent budget to get it back right,love the motor and dont really want to get rid

[paul_g]

I am in the same mind just fed up of spending money on it

[SandBoy]

Like has been said previously,if you can get it up to scratch,you will still have a nice comfortable motor.
Local mechanic once said to me,you can spend £500 on the Omega and still have a decent car,what are you going to get for £500??......true I suppose,better to spend on something you know than one you don't!!

[paul_g]

Thats true getting another omega for now then mey just get mine fixed later . Just need a car for work asap
