Just spent a fair bit of cash on the 2.2 estate ,new exhaust coil pack plugs cam cover gasket .Now I think the head gasket has failed , maybe time to let it go me thinks .Looking at a Hyundai estate on Tuesday if I can get it for the right price it will go,if not more repairs are looking likely.🔧🔧🔧

Can be done over a weekend,change cambelt and water pump tho,price for headset,cambelt kit,water pump,coolant,and maybe oil and filter around £160 cheaper than another car with unknown faults.

HG fail is not a big job on the 4 pot.................

Thanks for the replies guys, but have now put a deposit on a Astra twintop for the wife,so once the personal plate is off the estate it will be going on that auction site as spares or repair, shame really as it has been maintained all of its life regardless of cost and has every receipt to prove it.

For me that would have been reason enough to get it fixed,let's hope that if it gets sold,the person that buys it fixes it up.Probably won't happen though as we all know Omegas are all dooooomed!!!

Yes I do now wonder if I have done the right thing, but no real need for the estate anymore & as we know they are quite thirsty .The twintop is a1.9 diesel  2006 2 owners with a good service history & we both fancied a convertible after using one in the US a couple of years ago still have the 2.6 which is mint & the Terracan for towing the caravan. As we are both getting near retirement and intend travelling around a bit more that's why we chose the diesel, we both drove it yesterday & were quite impressed with it ..

Is the 2.2 manual or auto?

[2boxerdogs]

It is an automatic  done just under 100,000 was perfect until a couple of weeks ago, had a new section of exhaust fitted ready for MOT in June then had coil pack & plugs done as it had a slight misfire ,has had loads spent on it over the years 03 plate.

Cars are like women. You give them everything and they're still not satisfied.

I hope your Omega lives another year or two, Mr Tilbo.

Yes would be a shame to see it broken up, but it has to go ..
