Haha. You've whittled it down to the highest spec, most expensive Omega, with the biggest engine, have you?
Was that a hard decision, may I ask?
Not at all.
I really wanted wingmans 3.2 Elite but I had already agreed to buy a 3.0 Elite from Elite Pete and I didn't want to let him down. That fell though and by then the 3.2 Elite had already sold. Gutted Could I buy the newer 3.2 Elites with the new style wheels for £2.5k?

Thanks for the reply josh, exactly what I was after. I might take you up on your offer DBG. 
I think I have whittled down my wants and needs to only Elite 3.2 although I would like one with satnav. Is this standard on 3.2?

Interested in the facelift models.
I know its personal preference, I just wanted to know the difference in equipment and what the MV6 came with as standard. What about satnav, are they standard on either?
So does the Elite come with more goodies than the MV6?

I'm after either of these car and whilst I'm aware of the kit that comes with the Elite models, I'm totally unaware of what the spec list of the MV6.
Are they a 'hot' version of the Omega?

Aye, I wouldn't have even considered getting the work done if I hadn't come on this forum.
Anyway, having the gaskets changed/serviced has improved my fuel consumption already. Made the same journey today as I did last Friday when I averaged 20.4mpg compared with 29.8mpg today with aircon on and booting it on the sliproads.

Drove ~200 miles to change my cam cover gaskets and a service. Sorted all that for a very reasonable price too and took care of a few other niggles for free!
His Omega knowledge is spot on, noticed odd little bits that were piped up incorrectly or damaged so if anyone needs anything done he comes highly recommend from me.
Nice one mate. I'll let you know if it goes quicker now!

I had no interest in Omegas. Was in desperate need of a car, had to be spacious and it was being sold by someone I knew at a great price! Win all around.
I have decided my next car will be another Omega!

Dont remember it feeling like that in the wet but then again I cant remember the last time I needed to stamp on the brakes.
On my last car it was a gentle pulse

« on: 09 January 2010, 17:05:37 »Been out today in fresh snow and ice and the car behaved very well. However when the ABS kicks in, it feels odd like the pedal will snap. Is this normal?

A few more question:
How does one reset the windows? After I change the battery start car and open both windows fully and close and hold button down when closed for a few seconds?
I have an aftermarket CD player. Would that still work after the change?
