Omega General Help / Re: Which Omega to go for .......
« on: 14 July 2007, 10:40:39 »
Thanks again for all the excellent advice.

Just a couple of things that come to mind from all the advice.

Cambelts / sensors seem pretty crucial on these engines .... was is this something that is terminal if fails ( i would imagine the cambelt would be pretty disastrous but what about the sensor ?)

There seem to be lots of the 2.6 around so would this be the best option verses the 3.2 which appears VERY thirsty ..... or an older 3.0 but still the facelifted versions. :) :)

Also we come to the ex-plod machines ..... 3.2's that are pretty cheap but dont seem to have the full specs as you and me are in effect paying for them .... quite right too !! .... And they usually have more miles than Starship Enterprise !! :-/

I have around £4k'ish to spend and now barring the above queries wonder whether to go for a blast of the ex-plod 3.2 and run it like hell or cherish the 2.6 and polish it and talk to it !! :-? :-?

PS the ex-plod sure has an effect on the motorway as I moved over very quickly when on 03 plate white estate came up behind me pretty rapid just the other night .... and yes most other cars moved pretty quick too!! .... Just a 3.2 estate with Mr and Mrs and two kids in !!

Cheers

Hi all ....
A little query that you all may be able to help me on. ::)

I am looking for a facelifted Omega and havent seen any comments on which is best .
I think the MV6 , the Elite or CDX models with either the 2.6 , or 3.2 engines.

What is the general advice on these - i guess mainly on the engine side as the spec for each model is pretty obvious and what should i expect to pay ish ?

Also how good is the Sat Nav as fitted to some 3.2's ? :o

Not too concerned about the fuel consumption unless it drinks it !! But the overall ownership and cost of repairs / running would need to be taken into account.

Sorry its a general question but could do with a little advice.
 :y :y
Thanks and regards

Simon
