Title: My Omega elite, sometimes overheats
Post by: shell on 27 March 2009, 00:35:32

Hi guys i have had my VauxhALL omega elite 2.5 V6, since 85.000 miles. anything i have done to it has been done by choice. I have  done all disc/ brake pads and  track rod ends ( which i felt wasn't required but MOT insisted). At 94,000 miles i have just done the full timing kit which only cost me £234.00 ( My choice) . i have never had any probs with this car, except i didn't get the code for the stereo and after a flat battery have no stereo so forgotten code.  also it has a tendency to overheat a little in traffic build up. This may be in the long term, the only problem i have ( someone sujested i might have a blockage in the radiATOR ).
I get surprisingly good fuel consumption, and even more surprisingly when totaly loaded with camping gear.
My intension is to run this car all the way, so i am hoping to keep it on the road.
any advice is much appreciated.

Sorry if this is a very  blonde  first post.

Thanks
