Hello and advice wanted on used setup...
« on: 26 September 2008, 14:08:27 »
Hello all,

Last week I bought a 2001 2.2 CD Saloon Omega and hopefully I didn't buy a lemon!  It has only 46k miles on the clock, looks immaculate and I bought from a trust-worthy dealer.  The down-side is that the cars got no service history and no warranty although it's MOT'd until next August.

What do you recommend I do to give me peace of mind the cars OK?  I've been reading that the cambelt should be replaced but differing reports about the milage.  Would you recommend a complete service?  If so, what sort of price can I expect to pay?

To be honest, it wasn't on the radar when I first started looking but I'm impressed so far and want to look after the car.

thanks in advance!
