I can just about remember there existance tho i was young at the time so not much more than an aknowledgement of their existance back then for me  ;D I think the octavia saved them if i'm right? Anyways not long back from picking it up, enjoyed it so far, comfy and surprisingly quick

Good luck.

I hope your car is everything that it should be, because if not, Arnold doesn't have a good reputation.  ??? ??? http://www.reviewcentre.com/reviews67375.html & there are these http://arnoldclark.150m.com/html/mail74.htm though from a good few years ago.

Exactly right andy, they are terrible in terms of customer service. Unfortunately round my way your choices consist of Arnold Clark, Arnold Clark or Machargs, who are owned by....you guessed it, Arnold Clark  :-\ If i could avoid using them i would have, beleive me, only up side is my bro in law works as a mech for them, so got a discount on the car and get manufacturer parts cheap!

not exactly changing because i perceive the omega in general as an expensive car, just my one is  :'( I could go through with the long list of mechanics it needs (timing belt, oil cooler, rocker cover gaskets, service, tyres...) then move onto getting it to look as cosmetically perfect as i intended, aka 100% perfect  :P, but in the long run that is a LOT of money to spend on a car that will, eventually, need replacing. And likely in the near future, so the money would be wasted! then i'd be in the same situation a bit further down the line. At the end of the day i'm only 21, so see it as a good investment! It will save me money on my daily commute, i wont have the constant fear of breaking down on the way to/from work in the middle of nowhere, it is slightly cheaper to insure and when i come to sell it on it should still have a bit of value.  :y

Well after only 6 months of omega ownership, i've decided it was time i got something more economical than a 2.6 for my 64 mile a day commute  ::) also, the omega needed a lot of work doin, and tax and so on and on and on...  :(

Anyways bought myself this...

Pick it up Friday  :D

I'd just like to say that i did truly love owning the omega, its the nicest car i have ever driven and probably ever will, and also a huge thanks to the forum, its been a great source of info and a BIG thanks to daz for offering to travel all the way up to sunny glasgow and do me some work for a very good price. But couldnt justify spending the money on it in  the end  :-[

Omega General Help / Re: anyone ever fitted vectra gsi seats?

I may look a bit further into it, the pattern isn't an immediate issue as i'll come round to a retrim if i was ever going ahead  ;D just thought someone may have though of this before me. After some research i see the omegas had a very rare option of the branded recaros (yes i know all omega seats are recaros  ::) ) Take it the chances of me finding these for sale or anyone having some there willing to sell are mega slim?

Bit different, some like some dont which imo makes em spot on  :y cheers lads! And ye semi slicks are totally not suitable for everyday use, i just have an image in my head of them giving the car a real sleeper look  8) but theyd have to be a show/summer alternative and its a lot of pennies for nothing really

the thing that puts me off with type of design is that they should be handed to each side of the car so as vanes are pointing in the same direction,just my opinion tho,look nice otherwise

Hmmm interesting theory, never considered it before lol but guess wouldnt be too fusssed  ::) defo good spot tho!
