The amount of newer Omega's you could pick up for £1000 is unreal. The ABS ECU is a common fault and easily rectified, exactly as James said :y.

Discard the VX clutch, and use the OE set-up. 8)
I read somewhere that the clutches on these were guaranteed to cover 100k miles without needing adjustment!
