Title: Poll - how long have you owned your CURRENT Omega
Post by: pscocoa on 01 March 2009, 17:02:12
Thought this might be an interesting one given the time out of production and the high mileages generally covered.

7 years for me in November 2009 - mine had a new engine courtesy of VX last November follwing cam belt cock up. I do not have any excuse to change it now for at least 3 years. Tyres and brakes will need doing this year - tyres have done 24000 since last changed in 2006 and see,s to be plenty of tread left according to MOT guys. Car has done 82000.
