Went and bought myself a 2.5 elite off of ebay, Advert said only has a slight oil leak, won it, paid me money, drove off into the sunset...5 miles down the road smoke and steam everywhere, could not see a thing behind me, and anything behind me just could not see. Well today I took off the heads and replaced what was left of the gaskets, cleaned out the breathers and pipes, stuck it all back together, leaving a fair bit of my skin attached to various parts of the car and hey presto a beaut of a drive, I no longer look like 007 driving down the road now with great trails of smoke and steam everywhere, and the underside of the car has the best part of 10 gallons of oil all over so it should not rust. Seriously though what a great engine to work on, everything is so basic, apart from one or two little areas where you need to be double jointed. Its the first omega I have owned and what a lot of car for the money, less than £350 inc repair, and its mot'ed till august. Just need a heater hose now as the matrix has been bypassed by the previous owner due to bypass valve giving up on him, balance the wheels, get the heated seats working and it should be all ok. Leather and gadgets dont ya just love it.

Great story, £350 is a bargain. You might not look like 007 but you do have as many gadgets!
