« on: 01 January 2012, 20:31:46 »

well my lovely immaculate omega has passed away.last week the car broke down and investigations reveal the head gasket as failed...im not prepared to spend nearly a grand to get it fixed so my question is what should i do with it...  E bay as a spares or repair,break it or just get the local scrappy to come and get it...(the though of stripping a car for spares doesnt really appeal)...thanks phil....

Omega General Help / life with new car

« on: 24 February 2011, 23:44:12 »

so after 2 weeks of ownership and 700miles(all local driving)still pretty pleased with car,faults so far,sunroof u/s,high level brake light u/s,rear seat wont lock in(bit of an issue as due to collect kids tomorrow) temp gauge has a mind of its own,will it or wont it work and the stereo sound quality is pants.drives like a dream engine and gearbox sooooo sweet,after 4 intensive washes and 2 efforts at polishing it looks lovely(last owner did 2k in 3 years),leaving a car standing encourages moss and mildew.once faults fixed i will be a happy bunny..love this this forum the info available is unbelievable,should have bought an omega years ago,the countrys most under stated car...
