...... found this omega on autotrader (im really sad and look at this stuff all the time lol)

http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201102377341105/sort/priceasc/usedcars/model/omega/make/vauxhall/postcode/nn37bl/page/2/quicksearch/true/radius/1501?logcode=p

bearing in mind i know nothing about mechanics, pure interest id like to know if the things that need doing wud be easy to fix???

Not major work TBH, although if you have little mechanical experience the brakes may be better tackled by someone more expert

This may well belong to someone on here... Sure I read a question somewhere about the in tank pump :-/ :-/ May, of course, just be a coincidence

[RobG]

Worth a punt. If (and it`s a big if) fuel pump is playing up (£20 S/H) it wouldn`t lack power. Could be one of many things, not necessarily expensive. If it`s close enough to you why not have a looksee and try the pedal trick for codes.

hmmmm very roughly speaking how much wud it cost (if those were the only faults) to buy it, take it to a garage and have the work done? 8-) 8-) 8-)

Very true... More likely that the fuel filter hasn't been changed

Front discs & pads about £100 trade, easy DIY job. Rears, probably pads only, about £12. Fuel pump, if needed, I got one here secondhand £20. 15 minute job under the boot carpet

no mention of history and looking at the mileage its due a big spend..

also the tax on the later 2001 models is an eye watering amount.

if your paying someone...could well add up.

No it's not. Can't remember the details but you're confusing mega road tax with Mar 2006 onwards. 

[Vamps]

That looks a tidy car, for that money got to be worth a look.... I recently bought, on paper and presentation, a first class car, in August, have spent £1100 on it since and only a 2.2......

If viewing was OK I would buy it if near to me....

glad im not buying a brand new omega at todays robin hood tax charges

[Webby the Bear]

thanks robg for those code details/paperclip test etc

my spark plug leads have just been replaced and the cars still not running quite right.... cud i do this to see if theres anything else up?

also silly question but does the fuse box cover.... does it come off easy/easily accessable???

cheers.

[RobG]

Yours uses a paperclip. Fusebox by battery just unclips (if that`s the one you mean)

[Webby the Bear]

under the steering wheel, right?

will give me something to do over tut weekend 

do i put it the paperclip in the same holes ( murhahaha) as in the photo you forwarded?
