When they actually went at all.  ::)


well it is a Renault engine. And not one of their 'best'......
At least the turbo conversion was a bolt on upgrade :D


And self igniting, to kill the bigger flaws.

About the same as a 1.8 Granada then. Or a 2.4, which drinks like a 2.8 but goes like a 2.0l.


That is also a Mitsubishi GDI trait before the EGR fills the inlet with carbon and the throttle body fails; an 1800 with the power of a 1600 and the thirst of a 2.2, with spark plugs at £10 each. Assuming the crank doesn't snap.

I haven't seen another Omega for at least 2 years, so thought I'd mention it as a sighting.  :y

Desmond auto black estate with black leather in Harry Buckland's scrap yard in Cheltenham, doesn't look to have been picked over too much.  :D

Saw a very nice and shiny saloon leaving Felixstowe at 4.45 this afternoon. Couldn't get the reg as once on the A14 he took off like a rocket.  ;D As said, looked in excellent condition, think it was either dark blue or green. Anyone on here?  ???

Seen a green 02 omega parked in Hillington near Glasgow a couple of weeks, ago. I'd just dropped mine off (which is also green) to get alignment done, on way back I thought "Bleep there's my car" thinking someone had just nicked it from outside the garage where I left it!

There was a couple about Paisley I used to see now and again when in town at work, but don't work in town anymore, so aint seen them, a blue 2.2, a silver 2.6 (think the guy was on here).

I lived in Paisley, next to St Mirren FC. I had a silver 2.6 saloon and the wife had a PFL Green Estate, usually travelling around Linwood and Paisley area.  Moved down Country, between Durham and Darlington. Still got them both.
