Post by: drinksoptional on 08 July 2014, 01:20:03

Hi
Joined short while ago as i eas considering an Omega to replace my Mk3 Isuzu  Bighorn .  I have owned frontera's  moved onto Isuzu own two mk1 trooper/ bighorns .
My mk1 failed mot last oct needing welding which i knew so i put it of the road bought a Calibra  ran about great car just little cramped in rear so sold n bought mk3 bighorn  . Now was good motor  auto ran on veg oil go anywhere  but missed a car and eas still restoring both mk1s

now joined here as i fancied an omega  , plenty of room and rear wheel drive plus toys and was a car so did the reading  reasearch  and bought a 3.0 v6 estate  elite auto.  Car has been sat for a bit in a car lot then bought cheap by private  home  trader  . In last 3 years it has done 5k miles then its been sat for a month.  Auto was not ny first choice but it was a very good price  mot till march next year  two months tax.  Has couple of issue to be expected  think front wishbone , needs a service has a wee  rough run at low speeds on slight incline around 2500rpm  like fuel starvation only can describemight need service might be sensor i dunno but will have a search. Has made a bang from front on full right lock and on braking hard again dunno will get it jacked up.  I am getting hammered by current insurance think they chancing it so will get some cheaper quotes n switch .
Anyway if you didnt skimm well done if you did you missed part about great porn link.

So hello  will get to know you all as move through the forum.
Apart from that drives fine despite the intermiting rough spot
