Ok not an omega...but a veccy 1.8
3 weeks ago this motor cost me just about a grand to get it back on the road.....
It needed a new (well 2nd hand) gearbox, new clutch, new exhaust, 2 new tyres.
Tomorrow its going in for a taxi mot.....then to my local garage to have done whatever they find wrong.....plus cambelt kit change and waterpump (decided to do the waterpump at the same time coz i dont think its ever been changed.....and its cambelt driven, tho i carnt believe the waterpump has done 160k miles, if they are much the same as omega ones :-/)
Its done 160k now......and what its just cost recently im determined to make it do at least 200k before i give up on it.
Hopefully it will sail thro the mot....its booked in for 8am....and hopefully the mot guy wont have his eyes open fully at this time in the morning
