So, here we go. 

This is my first Omega picked up for £650, well £770 with the 6 month Tax I put on it (says £695 in the window but took some work to get him down a few £'s haha), has full vauxhall service history up to 95k (currently 117k).

Has some small, badly patched rust spots (worst is about 1-2cm on the bottom rear of drivers door).  I will undoubtedly be asking lots of questions on here as I look to sort it out and tidy it up during its stay with me.







These pics are taken from the advert where I got it, not taken by me

Yea its pretty tidy and can't really complain for the price.  Needs a few bits sorted out and the general paintwork needs an overhaul, I suspect the previous owner had a dog as the boot was covered in hair and there is light scratching down the drivers side (can probably t-cut alot of that out).

Needs the exhaust looking at as its blowing slightly and can smell fumes around the car when its stationary, needs the discs / pads doing pretty soon and needs a new thermostat and expansion tank (coolant level sensor seems to not work).  Apart from that, I am not currently aware of any other issues.  Drives well although a bit underpowered (I knew that before I got it, its the 2.0ltr 16v auto).

Mustang ..... I wish haha, would rather have a Viper though

Ill do some picks of the boot etc. tonight and put them up, its a bit dirty / stained in the boot haha, damn dog owners 

Going to be spending a bit of time and money giving it a general tidy up etc over the next months.  Brakes and exhaust and thermostat are the main ones at the moment.  After that its a start on the general maintenance (brake fluid, oil, plugs etc) then take it from there.  Oh, and getting the stone chip sorted on the windscreen, which I picked up on the drive home after picking it up  , thats being done today on the insurance.

So, you are likely to see a good few posts from me in the future (hopefully I won't bore you all to death).  Have been looking through the maintenance section and looks like some nice guides in there so should get some use out of those

Here you go Webby the Bear.  I don't have a load cover for it at the moment so can't show it with that fitted.
