Hello, well where do i start. My poor omega came up with automatic gearbox on the dash. So i got my car towed back home. Then i took her down to my local garage and asked them to put it on the computer for me, check the gearbox oil and quote me on a full service. got a phone call to go down to them and when i got there they told me a bearing by the cambelt had gone and needed changing, Asked how much and got quoted 950!!! I know ths is not true because i already had a mobile mechanic out to have a look. Anyway as i went to drive of the engine management light came on, it coughed and juddered even worse than before and had a oil leake from the back end of the engine. There was also no brakes until you hit about 15mph, before then they are rock hard!!! The garage told me its not there fault and i cant afford the time or money to sort her out!!! With a tear in my eye i am going to have to sell her as spares or repairs!! She is in beautiful condition and has 105 000 miles with near perfect service history. I would rather sell her to someone on here as i know what ever happens to her she would be looked after, If you know anyone interested please let me know.

Cheers

P.S i got told she is a ex chauffers car. immaculate condition  2.5 v6 cdx estate

If you're selling or breaking (much easier and quicker to sell), post in the cars for sale area. People looking to buy will see find you easier
You only need 50 posts so get welcoming the newbies and asking some advice (should you decide to fix, sounds deffinately fixable to me   ) and you'll be there in no time!

If you can wait until the bank holiday I'd be happy to have a look for you. Not sure I know anything bout auto boxes but brakes and engine I may be able to help with

Rich, there are plenty of us local(ish) to you that'll help rather than pay those rip off prices

if anyone could help me out it would be gratefully appreciated, I brought her in may and was chuffed as anything to own such a cracking motor. Would love to get her back on the road.

Send me a PM if you want to work something out over the bank holiday weekend.  I should have some time then

Gearbox selector switch needs cleaning.

Cam cover gaskets need changing

Someone left a vacuum hose off somewhere

No impossible jobs

Sounds like it to me... And a cambelt kit changed for good measure if the bearing has gone, which I seriously doubt
