Hey all!
Just a quicky to introduce myself - just bought a 99 Omega estate MV6, new to these cars, although they are really similar to the Holden Commodores we have in Australia!
Im reasonably proficient with cars, in Aus I have a Mitsubishi Magna (3.5l v6 with a ton of modifications) so am pretty used to tinkering with cars - changed the Magna over from an Auto to a manual which was a first that anyone had done (we have a similar forum there - aussiemagna.com) also wired up a Greddy aftermarket computer amongst a whole heap of other stuff..
Anyway, Im living here in London now on a more or less permanent basis, and the Omega is a nice upgrade from Betsy, my 91 escort 4 banger which was driving me nuts!!
I picked up the Omega last night, and have been really happy with it so far, seems like a pretty wicked car, although on the (long) drive home, she started to stall.. (noooooooo!!).
I have a feeling it could have been a dodgy batch of fuel from a nondescript middle of nowhere majorly overpriced rest stop, because it got a bit better when i diluted it down with some other fuel, but it still worries me a bit.
Anyhoo - Hi ! - i guess ill make a post in one of the other sections regarding this problem so I can get her fixed up, but does anyone have an electronic copy of the service manual they can send me?
Cheers,
Ben
