Title: Hello From York
Post by: Pedro on 16 September 2006, 13:32:20

Hi.
My name's Pedro, saw the link to here from VXPirates.

Our lass has a 2000 W reg 2.5 Elite Estate in hideous Mica (?) green with awful beige leather and brown plastic inside - it really is horrible!!

What she's spent on it in the last year would keep GM afloat on the stock market indefinitely, and it's still only bog-standard - apart from the Irmscher rear spoiler.  :-/

I'm not a fan of these cars, TBH - far too complicated - but I've joined up cos I tend to look after it for her. :o

Oh yeah, I have an Omega too, but it's the vastly superior Omega A........(Carlton to most of us in the UK though) ;)

Complicated no....try a Vectra C with Crap/Can bus.....

The biggest problem with the Omega comes after the dealers have been at them!

Hi Pedro and welcome to the site [smiley=thumbup.gif] Hope you change your mind about the Omega, but I know what you mean about the upkeep of them - they can cost a few quid if you're like me and pretty useless under the bonnet! :-[ However, I'm sure some of the guides and useful advice you'll find here should save you a bit ;)
