As much as I do love my Omega and think it is a design classic compared to a lot of other cars, it has start to become frustrating. I had around 6 months of comfortable reliable motoring then it all went wrong. Its all little niggly things the solenoid on the petrol cap, the check strap on the drivers door, drivers door window doesnt go down all the way, stereo registers as on but no sound coming out of speakers, rust starting in various places wheel alignment wrong in spite of two attempts at different places, supercharger like whining noise under acceleration, grinding from back brakes and not a lot of handbrake even though I've took it to two mechanics about this problem one changed pads other just adjusted handbrake

, Just fix it not bodge it, sorry to rant but I just wish I could find a mechanic that I could go to and say this is whats wrong fix it please! MOT is due up on tues so at least the brakes may be sorted after retest, is it just me that finds it sooooo frustating looking after your car. I am a petrolhead always will be but unfortunately just can't do spanners tried and learned from my mistakes that I can't. But it is also so hard to trust part of your family with other people who just see it as a piece of metal. As you may be able to tell I havent had the best of experiences with mechanics so if anyone can recommend a non dealer (stealer) garage in the Wirral, Chester area I would be forever in your debt
