Title: Almost an Omega virgin..................
Post by: Sixstring on 02 March 2010, 17:38:27: Hello there!
Kinda Omega virgin, had one as a company car years ago, but this is the first time I have owned one myself. Its a 3.0 Elite estate, the previous owner said it was a "gold" dunno what exactly that is, but it has every concieveable toy fitted, from satnav to cellular phone, with tv and dvd, and heated front and rear leather seats to name but a few things, so I'm assuming that "gold" refers to the option pack fitted????
LOVE it....got a few probs to sort out, like fitting a new thermostat and water pump, the p.o wimped out on the fitting, but gave me the new parts to do it!! 140k with FULL service history, even kept the reciepts for light bulbs..........(sad) but he loved it too. Paid strong money, but think I didn't get stung. Looking forward to the cameraderie and technical knowledge here, can add a bit myself, I am an Electro-Mechanical Engineering manager with loads of AV and auto electrical experience, so might be able to help someone??

Drive on!! Mike. :y
