Went to pick the little un' from school and managed to park next to this..........



.............had a look around it, having a nosey like you do, then the owner came out, "erm, I saw you eyeing up my car, oooh look you have one too, just comparing was you?" , "yes actually" I replied and she smiled, "oh, I thought you was going to steal it for a minute there" , me, me steal a car, never haha. She went on to explain that it was her husband's and she only uses it now and then. I asked her to point her husband in the direction of OOF, so showed her my livery on the back window  . Then shes stood there locking and unlocking the doors  , then she says, "bloody drivers door wont unlock" , so me being me went to have a nosey, oh yes, drivers door locking motor gone, so again, I pointed her in the direction of OOF. Made me chuckle a bit.

Turns out its exactly the same spec as mine, but without the 2.2 next to the Omega badge. Fairly good nick for 120k and I like the colour too

Yeah they slowly dropped the engine badges.... my X Plate 2.2 is badged on the back "2.2 16v"

FatherT's Y plate is badged "2.2" but later on they must have run out of 2.2 badges

I did wonder what it was, just looked at the clocks, rpm 7000 and 140mph = 2.2 petrol

I expect Vx realised that Desmond owners might be embarrassed to admit that they could only afford two thirds of an engine!!

No embarrassed owner here, 2.2 engine is far better than a 3.2   

3.2 has yet to prove itself to me, so far it's very thirsty, a bitch to work on and only available with sludge boxes

Look in the parts wanted section.. there beggining to get hard to get.A members got wants one.But no reply 

[tunnie]

Hard to get hold off? 

Nah loads of them about, they are all the same mini facelift onwards.

[MR MISTER]

I should imagine there are lots of omegas in scrapyards/breakers.

[albitz]

Not any more ime.Most of them have long since been crushed. They wont keep them sitting around in scrappies for long like they might with a more modern car,as there isn't a huge demand for the parts. Front c/l motors are getting a bit hard to find.Im sorry I haven't kept a spare one for myself in case I need one.
My MOT man mentioned yesterday,that Im the only person who goes there now in an Omega for MOT or any other work.
