Still proud of them though. Excellent workhorses with cavernous interiors to fit all manner of shapes and sizes in. Comfy to drive and no worries about the MPG if only driven a couple of times a week. 


They are both 2.5 V6 mini-facelift manual estates with only 6 months age difference, the CD on the left is a recent acquisition, and the CDX on the right is undergoing engine repairs at the moment. Further details of this sloooooow project can be found here.  ftp://http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1300567507/0


Twins!! I've had this one about 3 weeks now, and am more than happy with it. I did have to spend 6 hours cleaning the inside, and getting rid of the traces of dogs and children, but it's very tidy inside now. There's the odd dink and scratch as you would expect, and the obligatory rust patch on the tailgate (under the number plate light).


It will be a handy reference when putting the CDX back together, just in case I get stuck. Paid £399 (if you include the pound coin I found under the back seat! MOT until next year, 109K miles on the clock, and a load of receipts showing recent work done - all the usual stuff like cam cover gaskets, cam belt, HBV, coolant & oil change included, new exhaust and rear tyres. Hasn't used or lost a drop of fluid in the last 500 miles, so well chuffed at a bargain price.


CD with the CDR 2005 unit, and broken glove box catch. I've got the bit to go back on, but looks like the glove box front needs to be dismantled. Anyone know of a guide within the forum for this? If not, I'll phot and jot it as I go, and post in due course. Thought I'd post a couple of comparison pics, showing the difference between the CD and CDX whilst the camera was out......


..... and the CDX with the CCR 2006 unit.


Besides the glove box button, I need to get a roller for the door stay, and fit that..... it sounds like gunshot when it's connected!


And a clean back needed on the one wheel arch, before that surface rust turns into something worse.

Nice pair. They`re facelifts by the way, not mini-facelifts

Perhaps minifacelift cars should really be refered to as slightly-facelifted-prefacelift cars Bodywise they are both the same, they were slightly facelifted with the interior ie radio controls on the steering wheel, solid headrestraints, 4 channel ABS & other bits that were under the skin. Facelift cars 'improved' with the grille attached to the bonnet ala Astra G  , rear lights/wings and a completely different dash etc etc

Ah, glad that's cleared things up 

[twiglet]

There is already a very good How To for changing the glovebox handle on the forum. Used it twice myself great success!

[x25dt]

Awesome pair

[OMEEEGAH]

all this facelift minifacelift etc is annoying.

theres a early omeegah and a revised early omeegah and then the facelift late omeegah.....simple really 

[millwall]

as i would say to my mrs what a lovely pair

[Tick Tock]

Thanks.  A few projects to keep me busy during the summer.

So I guess that means there are 2.5 facelifts, and 2.6 facelifts..... almost like a mk1 and mk2 facelift, just to confuse matters

Great Motors Mate, bet you get confused every once in a while, both being same color and estates 

[doug4293]

nice cars u got there

[El33t]

Y'see, £400 for that much car kind of answers the question of some cars lingering around in the For Sale section for a bit longer than they otherwise would.

I can understand sentimental value but sometimes that shouldn't allow a price to be bumped up.

Due to petrol prices and what they are (i.e. large Vauxhalls), Omegas are not worth much now at all.

Which is a good thing for everyone on this forum.

There's stiff a whiff of dog in one of them, but nothing an air freshener can't handle.

Travelling back on a quiet M4 last night, missed the cruise as fitted to the other one.

They really ar as cheap as chips nowadays, and you get a lot of car for the money. There's a lot don't reach their reserve or opening bid on places like fleabay - a long list of faults and asking too much for a big engined vehicle.
