new chap here.
« on: 22 February 2014, 10:32:26 »
Hi, my name is James and I'm an alcoholic! Oooh! Sorry, wrong group!  ;)

Ok although I'm not an Omega owner I do very much like these cars and would love a 3.0/3.2 Elite but, alas, my finances won't stretch to ownership of one at this present time sadly. That said I'm swear it'll not cost as much as my Vectra 2.2 CDX estate which is suffering running problems at the moment, poxy thing.

Anyway, may father has an Omega, he has a 51 plate, 2.2 cd but due to failing health issues he doesn't drive that much so I get to play with it occasionally, although at present it needs a cat as the current one is blowing badly. Any help on supplies there would be greatly appreciated. 

Anyhoo, I'm off to look round the site a bit more so will speak to you guys later.

Thank you I'll post a picture up when I get one. I'm hoping that once he's given up driving I'll get the opportunity to have it off him. I know it's not the engine or spec I would prefer but gotta start somewhere eh!

Never had a 2.2 but believe they're still very capable cars.Welcome to the forum.Are you sure it's the cat that's blowing as I believe they have a flexi pipe[just before the cat?]which as I understand it has a habit of letting go,but a new bit can be obtained and welded in.

Hi, I was pretty sure until I read this but now I'm doubting myself, lol. I'll have to double check but I seem to remember looking at it and seeing the cat actually split but I'll check first. Could save a few pennies. Thank you.
