Buy a Focus
Hell, hang around long enough, and somebody will probably give you a Focus**
** That's true of Astras, Fiestas, Renaults etc too
'Had it for a few months and not had the time to use it' means I need to get shut...
'Gearbox occasionally plays up - don't have the time to do it' means can't afford to get it done.....
'Sometimes goes into limp mode' - mmmmmm
'Genuine Audi parts are £218' - well get it sorted before its up for sale
'Parking sensors only just packed up for some reason' means something else has gone wrong££££
Not difficult to get a 12 month MOT - still a few places prepared to overlook issues sadly.
Sounds like a money pit to me.....call me synical and all that, but......
Possible idea......road trip over to the UK in May....come to the High Wycombe meet, and pick the brains of some of the best Omega enthusiasts/mechanics available,and depending on the outcome you could possibly get the car into Serek's place for some TLC if needed,or if it's a DIY job you will be able go home with the knowledge from the guys that you have met, AND you will also be the first non UK member/car to attend the High Wycombe meet....go on you know it makes sense

Basically it's a cambelt change and cam cover change rolled into one with a couple of extra steps halfway through
Rear crankshaft seal is another day to itself as it's a gearbox out job...
