if it only smokes for a minute or so after start up it is probably valve seals,normally causes a puff of smoke after a down hill run with no throttle as well.If you try holding engine at a steady 2500 revs and it smokes constantly its more likely to be ring/bore wear

Dunno about the Omega () but had a 24valve Senator upto 164 on a calibrated speedo......
saw something close to that on a 24v carlton gsi a few years ago,we thought that the speedo was over reading

Some days I wish for an extra 30 years
Being 20, insurance companies love me...I've paid £6071 for my motor trade policy with Tradex. But I guess, it's not a bad price really, enambles me to drive any car...owned by anyone with unlimited engine capacity and very few restrictions.
bloody hell :-/,my traders is with nig and is less than a grand fully comp but I am 50 and down here in leafy cornwall
