My 3.0(2000-w) omega has aquired some faults , nothing to major but im after prices to rectiy it,
it needs
front pads(poss discs aswell)
rear handbrake adjustment(only just holds)
oil cooler(i think), there appears to be a little bit of oil mxing with the coolant in the header tank,
although the engine still purrs with no power loss or miss-fire what so ever, so how much for the bits to put it right

Pads, £15 on TC. Pads and Discs, £100 on TC. Easy job.
Adjustments - see the Handbrake Guide in Maintenence Guides. Easy-ish job.
Oil Cooler, about £130, plus another £30ish for ancillaries. Easy-ish job, but needs some tools you may not have.

Fill in your profile details of where you live. There are some members here that are mobile & might be able to help ............. and they'll know what they're doing, it can't be questionable whether other 'experts' do.

The Master did mine. However, I think he was a bit off colour that day, as it took him almost two hours.....including the oil change.

The liquor stinking slosh had probably been on the sherry the night before. He always leads me astray at OOF meets.

As well as payment of the folding kind, I also rewarded Mark's expertise with a large bottle of Glenlivet. I feel sure that he shared a wee dram with all his good friends at the next OOF meet.

Thanks, Robert. I'll bear that in mind.

I usually head in the other direction when in need of Vauxhall parts and service. Twells of Billinghay are pretty good.
