Hi
I think all Omega problems are described in epic wide somewhere...maybe someone is missing to put all informations together.
But is that really needed?
I bought two Omegas blind via ebay. 300€ for the 98 saloon and 400€ for the 97 estate. The calculation is easy. Do not pay more than some spares are worth. No risk. But you should be able to use a MIG welder, technical problems are peanuts.
Both Omegas are still running with new MOT. The Saloon is sleeping over Winter, the Sedan is doing the winter job. In April I will change.
In springtime I will do some work on Sedan s rear arch right side, left side I did last year, maybe some cosmetics and ready for the next two years...
The Saloon is perfect in body, suspension, brakes, interior and exterior. Engine has a little oil leak (crank seal front) and some noise from the hydros when cold. Peanuts. Will fix it before April.
Happy New Year!
