Title: Fed up with my Omega
Post by: Varche on 08 May 2010, 14:23:31
Have had the car now over ten years and really like it as a car BUT there always seems to be something wrong with it. Over the years it has had lots spent on it and I know the cars history which should be a plus. However it has been gutless for ages(years) and has had a mysterious water loss for quite a while now. I spent a couple of hours this morning looking again for vacuum leaks and possible water leaks. It isn't the heater matrix as that is bypassed pending fitting the new one I bought thinking that was the problem.

Yesterday it developed a misfire which only goes after it is warmed up. head gasket? oil in plug wells(again) , DIS pack(again). I don't know whether I can take any more. If it was insured FIRE then who knows what might have happened however it isn't!!

I think the best thing would be to buy a donor car and transplant the known running well and healthily engine and gearbox. Wellung666 is keeping an eye out for such a car. Maybe I could donate my old engine and gearbox to the Omega Well Being Institute to be dissected in a class room.  ;D ;D ;D ;D

Same with our lass and her Elite - hence why it's now getting trucked.
My MV6 is a belter though. :y
