What I´ve found out Omega is always pretty slippy/taili happy mainly to due that semi-trailing arm rear suspension   Few expamples:

(3.0 litre V6)

(basic 2.2 litre manual)

I think the beginning of the corner feels pretty much same as you turn in and start to rotate, but V6 (because that extra power and torque) has just more wheelspin at end  

Both of those cars had a limited-slip-differential

Thanks for the info, I'll bear that in mind if the repair option fails, which seems likely at the moment. But the car runs fine on the 2.6 ECU which I bought off a guy on ebay, who sensibly had the chip and transponder with the ECU. But  I'm a bit twitchy on paying another£150 for an ECU on its own from an ebay scrapyard seller so there's no real rush to solve the issue, just trying to avoid the so called repair companies, who make claims that lead no where.

I have a 2003 3.2 which about 10 years ago apparantly fried the ECU due to an electrical surge or spike from the battery(?), and I had more lights on the dash than a Christmas tree.
Spoke to a couple of places that repair ECU's (one was in Derby I recollect), and I sent it to them but it was returned as unrepairable.
I decided to take the plunge and bought a used one from Ebay off a Police 3.2, complete with the transponders ring and key fob chips.
A former VX auto electrician with I presume a Tech2 etc reprogrammed it to my own 3.2, retaining my original key fob chips and transponder ring, and it has been fine ever since.
An option to consider if you know anyone with the ability and means to do it...?

I still miss my Desmond. 

A manual Desmond was a bit more spritely than the Auto, but it has enough oomph to get out of its own way. Obviously it's never going to be as smooth as a V6 and it's a fair chunk of torque short of the 3.0/3.2, but it will get the job done.

Thanks for the heads up, I haven't tried this company, but will fill in their online request form, and see where we go with it. Apparently it's been suggested that I send the ECU directly to Bosch in Germany, but that comes with the risk of it going missing in their system/ language probs. If only the people that are breaking the cars do the job correctly, and remove the relevant parts

I’ve used AP-Reman and www.ecutesting.com, both with success, but for ABS Pump module repairs, not engine ECU. 
As these two pop up in a search, I’m guessing that maybe you’ve enquired with these already though. 

Those tits look like they were specifically designed for 'motorboating'
