Gift horse or gift from the gods?
« on: 05 November 2008, 17:32:17 »
 8-) I have just been given an Omega FOC from a mate moving abroad, never had one before but a fantastic drive, 1998, 2.5i V6 with 10 months MOT. I drove this home yesterday and am now wondering what is the achilles heel of the Omega? one at a time please......

Obviously servicing with Vauxhall is damned expensive so I have a 'man who can' but this shouldn't be an Omega no-no? :-/

I found a reference to a DVD on changing a cam belt, some bloke called Robin Hood, after following the link I ended up in a conversation that ended 2 years ago. Does this DVD still exist, did Robin Hood ever exist, can the over Lords advise on cam belt replacement?, all these questions and more........How about that Obama chap, or are politics against the T's and C's

DVD's can be found in the shop on here --- all those questions (and more) can be answered by posting them in the relevant places (people tend to visit the threads they know stuff about more often) --- Obama, politics and much more gets discudded in General Chat -- pop in there sometime and get to know the indiginous wildlife  :y
