Hi everyone,
I've always been a massive Opel fan, only recently taken ownership of my first omega though, and it's a massive difference over the other opels I've owned, which are (in order of appearance):
1992 Opel Kadett "Cub" (1.4 converted to f.i.)
1985 Kadett GLS (2.4 16v)
1995 Calibra 2L 16v
1972 Opel Manta DL (1.9 with sidedrafts)
1974 Opel Manta GT (converted to 2.2 carb fed)
1964 Opel Kadett B 1.2
Omega's were released in SA on a very limited scale, either as 2.2 4cyl or 2.6 v6 versions, all of which were imported anyway.
My car started life as a 2.5 v6, bought new in the UK in 2002 (i think), and somewhere down the line was imported to South Africa, and received a 3.0 v6 transplant.
I bought the car for next to nothing, as it was running on 5 cylinders in limp mode with hundreds of faults, and finding spares in SA is proving challenging.
I'm hoping that with the forum's help I can finally get the car running 100% again.
