i thought about investing in the trusted haynes manual for my 2000 omega i checked the website amazon and halford an i couldnt find one anywhere any one had the same problem as me im assuming that they didnt make one. how weird.

haynes only made manuals for 94-99 models, tho the mechanicals are basiacally the same, only the interior trim and some extras only found on f/l models not in manual.

You can normally get cheap second hand ones on ebay

ahhh i see i did toy with the idea of buying the older one but the fact it didnt have 2.2 engines on the front put me off a bit

[geoffr70]

AFAIK the 2.2 is the 2.0 with a longer stroke - someone correct me otherwise.

[vauxfan2k]

aye something like that, but for all the work you wil need to do to the engine etc, it will suffice, for everything else theres us lot 

[Jaymd]

okie doke ill add one to my xmas list and you guys are diamonds dunno wat i would have done without the help and advice cheers

[millwall]

anything you need to know  you would be better asking on here

Pfl Haynes is def worth having, 2.2 is drive by wire, so different throttle body etc.

Where's Tunnie? He has two thirds of the experience on these 

[tunnie]

fine engine the 2.2, unlike the V6 

Make sure throttle body is clean, follow the guide 

The little breather pipe from the throttle body to the cam cover can easily block, its cheaper to buy a new one than clean it, they are about 70p from a dealer!

Fresh oil really, really makes a noticeable difference on them I change mine every 3k, good coolant maintenance as well as if you leave it the HG can go
