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!

Welcome to the site, and good luck on Thursday :)
I guess its down to insurance to help you decide on which engine...

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-)

Mechanically nothing much out of the ordinary really with a V6 Omega,I've done oil cooler,cam cover gaskets,breathers,cam belt, usual Omega stuff really! 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

;)Congrats on passing your test. Despite Migs being value for money ins. groups are a bit steep.
Try confused.com & enter a few models you fancy (cars!!) then you'll get an idea what to shop for.
Let us know when you find your Mig. [smiley=2vrolijk_08.gif]
