Introduction
« on: 21 September 2012, 08:23:57 »

I've been popping back and forth here since buying my omega last April. Now it's started to misbehave a bit I thought it was a good idea to join to share ideas.

I have a very late 2.5 V6 manual estate with 136K which cost me less than the scrap value of the P38 Range Rover I had before it. I've replaced the diff with a diesel one which has improved the fuel consumption and will pop an M tec chip in it to recover the performance such as it is.

It's a mouldy old thing both figuratively and in reality but all the family love it. I'm sure it lived under trees and near water for a lot of its life but little by little I'm making it look half decent.

My daughter calls it Herman the Sherman as it's a bit of an old tank. We did have a good laugh at the irony.

Hi there, Welcome to the OOF..  :y

Under-steer is when the front of the car hits the wall, and over-steer is when the rear of the car hits the wall.
Power is how fast you hit the wall and torque is how much of the wall you take with you.
