No problems here or on my daily commute yet, plenty of opposite lock required though when driving up hill wagging the tail or playing on the corners! ;D

Apart from an incident in our road where I had to rock the car, the Omega has, as always, been flawless.  Occasionally we have a bit of a tail wag, sometimes unexpected, sometimes provoked ::)

Provoked or unprovoked it still makes you grin when you realise how well balanced an Omega is.  ;D

If Martin Imber is boiling up enough to pop pipes, there is a bigger underlying issue - you'd have to be giving it some severe large for a while to negate the effect of the fans in this weather.
