Omega General Help / Hi, Anyone help on a idling/misfire perhaps...

« on: 01 January 2008, 20:38:00 »

I have a 99 pre-face lift elite 2.5 petrol and she is driving me up the wall.
Start her from cold, lovely idles perfect, drive for more than a few yards or let her idle for a little then the miss happens. Sounds like a cylinder has dropped. This has happened out of the blue. Changed leads but no difference. Anyone got any ideas.
Thanks

Newbie Welcome Area / Argument of the century - Saloon or Estate !!!!!

« on: 26 April 2009, 09:19:58 »

Hi.
At the moment I have a 3ltr saloon and the wife has a 2.5ltr estate.
We both think our versions are better than the other for differing reasons. They are both Elite with alot of the extras. Both have no faults except the argument of which model is better.
Does anyone have any good reasons to settle this debate once and for all as there is only 1 parking space available.

General Car Chat / Estate or Saloon. Part 2.

« on: 24 May 2009, 15:00:17 »

It was either my 3ltr saloon or the wife's 2.5 diesel estate both elites. Well the saloon has won just.
The estate is on ebay which is a shame really because it took a long time to find a good diesel estate but there you go. If anyone is interested please check it out.

General Discussion Area / Time to pass her on.

« on: 11 March 2008, 15:07:57 »

Hi , I have a 99 V reg Omega 2.5v6 Elite that has to go unfortunately.
She is in burgandy/red, runs on petrol, is an auto and still runs lovely but apart from the normal rocker leak she seems to have a problem at the manifold. I have been told it could cost anything from £200 upwards just to find whats up with it. It could be a manifold gasket but I haven't the resources at the moment also I drive a company van so don't really need it anymore so it is the time for someone else to put the time in and get a hell of a car. This car has everything inside and everything works. Cream leather with working heated seats. For a full spec or pics please reply tome and I will sort it out. I plan for it to go on ebay on friday but thought since this forum has helped me out before with all the top hints.tips I would try here first.
