Omega General Help / Back box replacement
« on: 13 June 2013, 13:39:09 »
After discovering last night that my exhaust has grown a pony tail I've established the back box needs replaced. I've picked up another one from eBay, just wondering what's involved in replacing the back box? I'm no mechanic but to cut costs I try to do what I can myself. Car is a 2001 2.2.

General Car Chat / Service items, where to buy?
« on: 13 May 2013, 23:03:01 »
I'm going to give my new Omega a decent service (oil, oil filter, fuel filter, spark plugs, pollen filter, air filter).. just wondering where's the best place to buy the items from? I've bought from my local Vauxhall dealer in the past, is this my best bet? Thanks in advance

Omega Gallery / Sten's 2.2 CDX Auto
« on: 13 May 2013, 22:24:44 »
Hi all,

A bit of background first. I've owned quite a few Vauxhalls over the years; Corsa, 4 Astras, Vectra GSi, Signum. My last car was a Seat Altea FR which I sold to help fund a house move but to be honest it bored me and was uncomfortable, I needed another Vauxhall in my life. My budget was £1k and I fancied an auto for a change. Many hours of online browsing led me to a few well priced Omegas fairly local to me, I've always fancied one so it seemed the ideal time to pounce. The first one I went to see was a little rough around the edges and overpriced. The second one I viewed, test drove and it was perfect! I paid the asking price and drove it home there and then..

It's a 2 owner car, just ticked over to 80k miles with stacks of history and completely unmarked bodywork and interior. Previous owner since 2004 was in his 80s and judging by the condition I'd say it's been garaged and the back seats probably never used.

Here she is, on the day I picked her up







The interior was already in great shape, I gave it a quick clean to get it up to my standard:





The only slight issues are a faulty CD player and the electric sunfoor is a little temperamental.

Plans include assigning my private plate, a service, some new front brakes, polish and wax, drive and enjoy! :)

Hi all,

Just picked up me Omega today, awsome! Only issue is the CD magazine is sitting 'loose' in the headunit. When I try to push it into position it doesn't click in, it just springs back out. Any thoughts on what's wrong?

Newbie Welcome Area / Just picked up my Omega..
« on: 05 May 2013, 00:00:50 »
Hi all!

I've owned loads of Vauxhalls over the years but today I picked up my first Omega and I'm over the moon with it. I only planned to view it but after seeing how immaculate it was I ended up bringing it home. :)







As you can probably see it's a 2001 CDX 2.2 Auto. 80k miles, 2 previous owners, astonishingly good condition, not a mark on it, drives perfectly. Only issue I've found is the CD changer doesn't work, but I can deal with that.

I hope to use the forum to get answers to the many questions I'll no doubt have, looks good so far  :y
