Newbie in the W.Mids
« on: 10 May 2013, 16:14:13 »
Hiya guys (n girls)!! Picked up a tidy Omega 2.5 V6 Elite last friday night, would have said hi sooner but my other half had a baby on Saturday morning so its been a tad hetic round here :D

Well for my first Vauxhall, I dont think I could have done much better with this. Straight swap for my Ford Puma so I think I got the better part of the deal here. Lovely through all gears, amazing cruiser on the motorway and even quite economical around town for a 2.5l. Slight knocking on the o/s front which i'm putting down to either a bush, joint or maybe the droplinks, hopefully wont cost the earth :/

Hi, Congratulations and 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.

Thanks all, dbug, will have a go on the droplinks when the weather picks up :D

I've had chance to fiddle about with the buttons and figure them out but this one is a little deceiving


Obviously i know how to operate the lights, just in case there are a few comedians on board ;) It's the ''Tm'' button I'm trying to work out . . .

Never was one of those ''i wonder what happens if i push this'' people  ;D
