Good luck with your test and getting an Omega.  I found all sorts of useful advice on here which made buying my first Omega much easier...  Insurance price is a bit of an ouch though but probably par for the course I guess.  Anyway - welcome!

Hello and welcome to the site.  Given your age and insurance woes, I'd plump for a 2.2 CD or above.  :y

 If choice and finance permit an MV6 (sport) or Elite (toys) would be best choice, but both are V6 and pricey to insure :-[

Hello and welcome to the site as said dependant on funds and personal choice a 2.5 V6 isn't that much more to run fuel wise than a 2.2 4 pot. MV6 is the sportier version Elite has all the toys and you get alot of "bang" for your bucks due to heavy depreciation :y good luck with your test and be sure to ask any questions about buying a luxobarge on here cos they know there stuff 8-)

Mot wise,failed on the N/S/R brake pipe which can be a mission and steering idler,but overalll pleased with her,10 years old and 160k can't really grumble
