Sounds good, I do hope that incredibly low mileage is genuine! Were the shocks upgrades or replacements?
Replace the cabin air filter to stop the misting problem. (Also make sure drain hole in bottom of filter box is unblocked).

Yep replace the air filter, also run the system on 'ECO' on full heat for a while, that should help dry out a few things and reduce the moisture in the compressor.
Unfortunately pre mini-facelift Omega's don't have height adjustable steering :(

'98 sure it wasn't mini facelift? - my '98 R Reflection V6 didn't have it...

31k on a '97?? Wow! :)
An elite should have adjustable steering column....
Owning a smokers car... hmmm I know how you feel. That could take some time to remove. :(
As the others have said, replace air/pollen filter, clear scuttle and give it an oil and filter change.
I would also change the fuel filter and certainly remove plenum and clean breather system and throttle bodies.
While the mileage is low, follow the usual procedures, you don't how the last owner drove it.

Is it due for a cam belt kit change ???????
-
Wash all the plastics in the car, VAX any upholstery and get a neutrodol thingy
My car was a little grubby and the upholstery cleaner smelt funny - doing this cleamed mune up - should work with a faggy car

I would hope it has had 2 being a 9 year old car! :o
Good point though.
If no recent documentation... get it sorted... pronto!

Not before MY 98

I think you will find the elites were equipped with adjustable steering columns from 97 onwards....
Note the use of the phrase "I think" ;)
I await correction/cofirmation from Mark...

I am with Jaime on this one, pre 1998 mini facelift don't have adjustable columns...

just been getting used to my omega tonight....mists up really easily....but does it when 'eco' is pressed.....does 'eco' re route the air thru a hidden sauna?
-
Eco disengages the aircon, which often has the affect of misting things up quite quickly.
First off, check the scuttle is clear though.
-
and change pollen filter as a matter of course...
