Title: Hi there, new owner of a 2.5 td estate
Post by: o-meg-a on 21 February 2011, 05:44:48: Hi,
I've finally migrated from all sorts of other cars (rover turbo diesel being my last) to an Omega.
I've got a 2.5td select...basic i know but its going to be a load lugger with a bit of RWD fun to boot (excuse the pun!).

Ive always joined the forums for any car i buy because i find the information contained within them so valuable.
I'm a bit of a home mechanic, or i try my best anyway.

Just wanted to know what i should check over on my car seeing as i just bought it.
It's done 112k, and its a manual.

thanks :y

just joined the forum I drive a 2002 2.6 V6 CD. A great car but starting to have a few minor problems. I think a forum is the best place to be if you do your own repairs.

Hi and welcome to the Forum, Hope you have a lot of fun with Pepy. :y

This would be the wonderful gentleman who sold me the 2.5td estate that I now own.
Thanks again, It's a real beauty.
Gave it a good Hoover out and a wash and wax yesterday and its gleaming.

Like I said to you, I got 40mpg on the run home of 300 miles.
And that was between 70 and 75 with some fun off lights and roundabouts lol.
So I reckon I could've squeezed a touch more out if it.

All in all, very happy. :y :y
Thanks again

Post by: o-meg-a on 25 February 2011, 10:18:06: Just had the Omega td oil serviced.
Popped into my local garage where i've been having things done for a while when i dont feel like it.
Asked if he could fit me in for an oil change.
He said, yes? is right now ok?
I thought sure, how much?
£25?

Bonus.
He must be having a good day.
Watched him do it too so i knew about the silly filter on it. lol

all good for another 3500 miles.
