Omega values.
« on: 04 May 2011, 22:31:51 »

Firstly i was'nt sure where to post this so if need be by all means shift it where it should be & i promise to keep the pram fully stocked.

  Just read Pete's post re the 02 est for sale resulting in a head fault meaning it's only good to break. I've spoken to Pete on the phone recently about MX5's. We also spoke about Migs & as aforementioned in his post he said they are becoming uneconomical to repair & worth more to break & even that is dwindling as a result.

   Just seems a shame. Guy.

Got to agree, great cars mine ticks all the boxes, apart from fuel consumption. I will keep it on the road until it becomes too expensive to repair, simple economics really.
I need an estate for my dogs, like a large power plant, and a well appointed auto so what do I replace the miggy with?

I remember someone last year posted up the number of Omegas left. I think it was the 2.5 engine and larger and only the CDX and Elite models.
Does anyone know how many are left?? :) :)

Last year I searched and thought I had found the car for me at the right price, I did.... :y
But it has cost me about a grand since :'( :'( to get it up to sorts and still has a couple of jobs to do, in all this will make it the most expensive 2.2CD on the forum, despite doing everything properly when looking.. ::) ::)
Same with the estate really, bought it but since put it right has been a great car, so once right you have a fab car for your money...... :y :y

VX Garage tomorrow to look at a Chevy...7 seater thing... :y :y :y

i cant say my omegas not me anything really to run



every thing else iv manged to do me self for peanuts and a lot of swearing and scraped knuckels

I have i go at most thing just dident want to risk screwing up the cam belt as of only down 8valves before

if done i the ushal stuff oil cooler ,cam cover gaskets crank sensor, dis pack, hbv, broken bonding wire on ABS ECU myself

got the scare on knuckles to probe it lol


but Darth done me water pump and cam 
for a dam good pice not long back

i tend to nip up srcapy and grap any thing that mite come in handy if there's one in

I did get my elite for a good price and it was in nice nick

but im planing on keeping it and trying to keep it is good nick as long as i posibly can

cant beat em for parts priced really compared with say a beamer

the high costs come from labor on the omega 100`s on simple jobs you can do your self with a bit of common sense
