Omega General Help / Cubed
« on: 02 December 2009, 20:44:38 »
So I am scrapping it ('98 2.5 CD), tempted by the lure of the scrappage deal!!!
To be fair my hand was forced by the need for a new back box/massive water leaks/new tyres and a problem with the suspension... Oh and the rust!! and two weeks left on the MOT!
I know this is probably the wrong forum but I really wanted to thank everyone who has given me help and advice to keep her on the road these past 3 years.
I'll miss her and I'll miss the amazing support I got from you guys.
Many many thanks!!!

Omega General Help / Still searching..
« on: 07 April 2009, 21:47:26 »
Hey all, couldl you check this link out from autotrader. Dealer says full vaux sh and great condition but sh does not specifically say cambelt done. He is willing to knock cost of replcement cambelt off price.
a) How much will it cost?
b) Would it have been done in Vaux servicing?
additionally, is the car priced right??

Omega General Help / Sound System... Same old Rhythm??
« on: 05 April 2009, 16:54:26 »
I am in the market for a new omega, just wondering about the various sound systems fitted to different models. I currently have a '98 CD and the system is quite frankly rubbish; I've not upgraded due to losing the steering wheel functionality and the LCD screen.
Were the systems improved on the facelift models and are they better on elites than CDX/CD/MV6 etc..
I would also like to hook my ipod up? How easy is this? I live in London and there are too many pirate channels for the itrip (transmitter) to work well, unless you're in the huge car park under westfield.
And does anyone else still listen to Steel Pulse?

Omega General Help / Age or Mileage
« on: 03 April 2009, 16:16:36 »
I posted here a week back about the explod omega - having not bought it, just looking ofr some byers advice. A lot of meggys around 130K on 03 plates - If these have full SH are they a better bet than a lower mileage older car??
I currently have a lowish mileage '98 CD (94K) and the engine is great.... bodywork needs attention tho' - what would I get for that?

Omega General Help / 2003 03 Superb Vauxhall Omega 3.2 Manual
« on: 30 March 2009, 19:12:41 »
Not sure where to post this but looking at a lovely meggy described as above - only thing is, can't find info on 3.2 manuals, only autos. Where can I get technical data on these cars and are they generally any good??? I want to upgrade from my 2.5V6 (98) to something newer and this looks great.

Omega General Help / Coolant problems again..
« on: 19 February 2009, 06:45:37 »
Sorry to post on coolant again - I'm quite bored of coolant issues myself 
. Last time it was oil in the coolant - had the oil pump done. That was about October '08.
Now it is losing coolant quickly. After about a mile, most is gone and the car starts overheating with steam rising from the bonnet.
Is it likely to be a simple pipe/valve/joint issue??

Omega General Help / DIS replaced, losing coolant still
« on: 04 January 2009, 22:08:03 »
Had a replacement DIS pack done, told garage that this was likely due to the slow coolant leek thats been there for years. (well the two I've had the beast anyway!) Garage cannot find any leek, say they have checked HBV. Are they incompetent or is there other reason the DIS pack may have gone? Any other potentail coolant leek issues - garage can't find anything.
Is this a ramble? sorry - red wine soothes omaga problems like nothing else!!

Omega General Help / Flood!!
« on: 26 May 2008, 14:58:06 »
Just been out for a spin in the wet (very wet here) and have a flood in the passenge side rear footwell and in the passenger side front footwell (thought not as bad).
Is there a common point of failure underneath the car, am I unlucky or is it a simple seal or weld job?
Any ideas?
