Yes, it's a great idea, and I'd like to help out if I can...

Yes, good idea, but I won't be able to assist in the process...

No, there is no requirement for this...

No, diesel is the fuel of Satan, so who cares anyway...

Those that harp on about you should have a V6 & not a diesel. I wonder actually how many have owned a diesel
I don't mean driven, actually owned for enough time to have an opinion.

Note that quite a few of us DTi owners also own V6's.... also note which one we drive most of the time....

Quite like diesels. Just not Omega diesels - the Omega manual is a god awful gearbox, and the TD auto is so uneconomical...

I have had 2 Mig Diesels both Estates, although 2.5TDs, first was an Auto which I got shot off, 2nd a Manual, which was my work horse for a few years before laying her up to rest, would I have another one?,probably would actually and might still do although currently playing around with LPG.

My first proper Diesel mind converter was in fact a BM 325TDSE a ramaped Manual, fantastic little car with good drive-ability, in fact it was this car that got me going into Omega's as I needed an Estaste and the then 3 series TD Estates didn't fit the bill for me.

So you can blame a Diesel for my affair with Omega's now.

i had a 2.2dti cdx saloon, all leather with the sunroof, owned it for over 2years, wish i still had it, took me a year to get it how i wanted it.
replaced all discs and pads, seats doors cards, doors, ( same job as all other omegas)
i replaced the turbo which was easier than i thought, it had a whistle and didnt boost as good as it should of done
replaced glow plugs the warning light stayed on for a few seconds after engine was started because they were knackered
replaced a washer from the oil feed to turbo, think this is a common fault and makes it look like the turbo is faulty or cracked
the 2.2dti responds well to an oil and filters change.
all in a great car but then i`ve never driven a lpg 3L auto

forgot to mention
the crank pulley is prone to separating and the outer part falling off!
£80 part and provided you can crack the crank bolt  its not too big of a job

An how to is in the "Test Section" for an Admin to move.

Thanks.

I'll help in anyway I can for the Dti knowledge that I have
