WHY OH WHY!!! i've had my 3.0elite for 4 years and it seams that it's been in the garage being repaired more than on the road.
i love the car, spend endless amounts of money on it.
so why can't i get it to be trouble free atleast for a few months.
i'm at the end of my tether, just drove to cardiff and back today and all of a sunden i got heavy vibrantion from the wheels on the way home . now it's becoming silly were do you draw the line and cut your losses.
i love it , but i haven't got endless pockets?

Welcome & happy Omega motoring from now on- can you do things yourself with help from this forum?

Howdoo, and welcome to the forum.

Take the time to research the how too's and the 'search' function for anything thats a tad obscure. If no luck, post in the general secion and theres loads of peeps with enough experience of the Omega to keep you right. Might take a few minutes, but no doubt someone will chip in!

Chin up!!

To be honest, Omega's aren't practical cars to own if you have to rely on garages for stuff.

This is a great forum, and will enable you to many jobs yourself (which are often much easier then garages make out) and you can save a packet.

You are also only about 40 miles from me, so if there's stuff you can't do, there's a good chance I'd be prepared to roll up sleeves and help out

Welcome to the forum and if James offers to do some work on your car, take him up on it. He does a good job

Hi Salvo and welcome to the forum

Yep, know what you mean, I don't have the expertise, tools or time to sort problems out on mine so have to fork out all the time. It does pay to find a decent independant garage if you can.

Hello Salvo - stick with it

Greetings, and welcome to the forum. Fixing the Omega isn't difficult with a bit of practise. I just cleaned the breathers out last weekend, with a £10 halfords socket set, a couple of screwdrivers, some paper towels and carb cleaner. For a garage to do that would cost a couple of hours at least. And the dreaded cambelt and tensioner?. Well the parts cost about £70 and its not really that difficult. Best of luck.
