Just to store it. We live in a countryside...lots of old folk here, maybe someone has one and doesn't need it.
Can't really have omega parked outside in winter that's coming. It will rot before next summer

As far as I know, recovery truck takes a car to what's nearer - garage or home....at least where I live, but the idea wasn't bad 
And my wifey is starting to nagg....."Another one?!? Again Omega?!? Really?!?!"
Things would be much easier if I was gay I swear...women just can't understand meaning of loyalty
But she doesn't dare to give me the ultimatum like "It's me or Omega"! ...because she knows which one I'd take...

Hi guys, I've found an Omega for sale, for cheap but has an issue. Owner says it wants to overheat and fans don't kick in until temp warning light doesn't appears. Radiator was replaced, looses ver small amount of coolant every few months and suprisingly doesn't leak oil (plug wells aren't full yet 
)
Problem is he lives 150 km away and in order to drive home I can't drive with overheating car.
The reason I noticed this Omega at all is how healthy body it has. Only a small almost invisible spot of rust behind rear right wheell.
It would be a shame for it to be scrapped.
What do you think what could be the reason for overheating?
Simple as a thermoswitch or something more sinister?
Thanks, Stan

I like spirited drive yes...to answer question from before but I doubt 2.5 can put serious stress like your 3.0 can

New tires fitted in spring, still like new, no sign of wear...Suspension arms are only things that comes to my mind

I've been thinking about fitting these instead of powerflex....half the price and can reuse wishbone

This is an issue for at least a year now, but there were many other things to do. Vibrations occure when accelerating on motorway in 3rd mostly and when breaking from motorway speed.
Discs and pads are new - all corners, new drop links. I believe front suspension arms are still original, could there be so much play in those when under stress? There's no obvious play in wheells.
Before I take those off and ruin the alignment - front ones or rear ones?
Thanks, Stan
