Drove an Omega for the first time in years yesterday! Spent the day going over it. It’s the marked police one, not been used for years!
I took precautions before starting, but it doesn’t sound right! Cam sensor code, slight top end knock and won’t rev past 4K rpm. Tomorrow will be spent working out what’s going on  ;D
Expect several temporary gremlins due to lack of use.

4k rpm could be a ticky Maf or as a result of the cam sensor code. A thorough service and some use should sort it out :y

Drove it to the wrong side of Ipswich and back, and had to put some go-go juice in in the process.  That might be the first time I've put fuel on since Scotland...

Bloody hell, Josh is alive!

Gave mine a quick wash to get the filth off, expecting a rainstorm so haven't done the full works.

Drove it - after nearly two weeks of driving the new (to me) Galaxy/Mondeo Van around the country.

Surprised how small the MV6 Estate feels  :)

I wondered why someone had sent me a new cologne with no return address 😂
Maybe a very overdue Oxford meet & curry could be in order?
