good evening. im looking into buying a omega diesel. i will be using this as a tow vehicle from time to time for the track car. i was wondering if i should go for the 2.2 dti or the 2.5 dt. ideally i dont want to spend more than 2 thousand. any help would be appreciated or even a link to a buyers guide. thanks for reading this.

thanks for the comments, i must say i have to agree a lpg car will beat a diesel for mpg but they are quite rare and i have a budget of 2k so not sure i will be able to afford the car and conversion, just about to buy my 1st house hence why im strapped for cash. this is why i was going for the diesel, im really not fussed about performance, no offence guys but if i wanted performance i wouldnt be buying a omega, what im after is a sensible, comfortable daily driver thats reliable. speed really is not an issue i have a toy in the garage for that. so im either looking for the 2.2 dti or if i can afford it a pre 2001 petrol with a lpg conversion.

are there any buying tips on what to look for, rot, bad wiring etc etc.

thanks for the help so far, it really is appreciated  .

i wont be remapping it or modifying in any way, i just need a reliable daily driver, i bought a 306 hdi as a cheap car but it has cost me a absolute fortune so time to cut my losses and get a good old vauxhall. im liking the omega as its very plain and draws no attention to itself. yet its fully loaded and bargain priced. i thought they were quite rare but 4000 members tells me otherwise.

i had a 2.2 astra sri with the z22se petrol engine which is probably the same or similar 2.2 petrol as found in the omega, i found it nice but juicy so i guess it would be alot worse in the omega due to the weight so this is my reason for steering clear of the petrol units. i thought the 2.2 dti would be the better lump being newer and more refined over the 2.5 td.
