Shall I go from this to this?

Omega to a Disco? (Disco is diesel and I have plenty of cooking oil).

Previously had 5 defenders and loved them!  8-)

Bit of an odd question really.

Depends what you want from a car, only clue you give is in a hint that you want to run a disco of chip juice.

You had 5 of them in the past, you mention nothing of family size or wanting to off road.

Do you do a lot of mileage.

Only you can make your mind up, we cant do that for you, allthough we could help if it was a couple of migs.

If it was a Disco 3, I might have have said yes.

pot holes is my main problem, not that I aim for them lol.

better visibility in a land rover plus a bit of intimidate'ability lol.

running costs on the omega, around town its only doing 15 - 20mpg, 3.0 mv6. Disco would be far cheaper on chip juice lol.

I know there not as quick but I only do 60 on the motorway in the omega on cruise, 38mpg

and if I do come to selling you lot will have the first shout... here is just the service history etc,,,

Vauxhall Omega 3.0 24V MV6 AUTO
X reg, 2000 Facelift Model
MOT Expires: April 15th 2011 - TAX Expires: 31st September 2010
20MPG around town - 38MPG cruising at 60mph
Insurance Group 16! ‘207BHP – 148MPH’

Here is a fantastic example of the RARE 3.0 MV6 Auto Omega, with full service history and paperwork.

Leather heated seats with leg support, sports mode, snow mode, xenon lights, cruise control, cold air conditioning, on board computer, after market reverse parking sensors, after market cd player which supports mp3’s plus a usb dongle, traction control, abs, air bags,
Omega offers assured handling, good power units and spacious, comfortable interiors. Engines are the efficient Ecotec units. A better proposition than elderly executives like Scorpio and Rover 800 and it's almost an affordable alternative to the old BMW 5-Series. It's just a pity that it's not visually more attractive. However, if you're looking for a great car and you don't care what anyone else thinks then this could be just what you're looking for. No-one will dislike your car, they simply won't notice it. If you need more proof of its credibility as a driving machine, traffic police loved Omega. ‘Parkers’

Bad bits...
Slight ding in the bonnet, offside mirror doesn’t fold in.
[size=18]So I was asking around £1750 If I was to sell it.[/size]

[Del Boy]

If it was a Disco 3, I might have have said yes.

I agree, that shape just doesn't do it for me and they're unsafe in an accident.

[jonnycool]

Besides that, you're asking on the wrong forum, we're biased

i'm playing you against one another to get a mixed reply, but everyone should answer honestly

I voted "No", as you should keep your miggy.

I personally would never have one of those Land Rovers as at speed they can be very unstable   I knew of two police officers killed when their patrol vehicle overturned at speed in Hampshire during the late 1970s

For speed you should be low to the ground, not six foot up!

Thats way over due for a cambelt kit change

[webby23]

if you're a farmer, get the Disco, if you're not, keep the Omega

Simple as that........

112,000 last one, current mileage 139,500

27,500 miles, are they not done every 40K?

At 112k you never put if it had the tensioners changed, if it didn't then as Pete says it's way overdue.

112,124 MILES – OIL SERVICE – CAMBELT – 08/11/2007 'VAUXHALL DEALERSHIP SERVICE'

Just looked at the history, over £2,000 spent at dealers  - yes it had the full kit, I just put 'cambelt' instead of cambelt kit.

and I forgot to mention the major items, at 112K it also had new shocks, new head gaskets, oil cooler etc.

Ah well a cambelt isn't the kit, hence why Pete said what he said

I'm no farmer, but I'd have a Disco 3 over an Omega any day!
Brought up on Vauxhalls, but I know a bloody good car when I've driven one.
Driven a few Disco 3's and love them. I just can't quite afford one yet, but it will be my next car...........
