Omega General Help / Re: Should I buy this?
« on: 27 March 2013, 19:57:41 »
Looking at where you live,would that be Reading station? and if so I think Amba's comments should be heeded as the short journeys will have a twofold effect on your wallet i.e prohibitive fuel consumption and with the breathers getting a bit gunky you will either have to learn to do the preventative maintainenance or pay some one to do it for you. So buy the Omega for the weekends and bike it to the station :y :y

Thanks all for the great advice.

Reading is my nearest station but I drive to Twyford which is a faster line and better when I get to London. This is approx 7 miles each way. Do all the comments still apply? Is this still too short to get up to peak operation? My working assumption was c.25mpg does this sound about right?

Omega General Help / Should I buy this?

Hi

Just joined as I am considering buying an Omega as my daily driver to and from the station.

I have spotted this car near me.  Seems to have low miles for age and full 12m MOT.  I am not very engine literate so any advice on what to check and whether given I'm far from a mechanic I should think again about running an omega?

Many thanks

Nick
