Hi, I've just joined this forum, having recently acquired an Omega 2.5 diesel CDX. For the last eight years I've been the proud owner of a Mk 3 Granada, and having found the Granada forum (http://www.granada-and-scorpio-online.com) extremely helpful for a few years I thought I'd join its Omega equivalent right from the start.

I have to say that the Omega, especially the CDX (top of the range?) is a hell of a car!  Loads of electrics and goodies.  The car only seems to have three drawbacks:

1.  It's not my beloved Granada!   :'(
2.  It's an automatic
3.  The ride seems a little hard (I suspect it might have some sort of sporty suspension - it sticks to the road like glue, but shakes the fillings out of your teeth)

Apart from that, and a few minor problems like the speedo not working (I knew that satnav would come in useful one day! - it's the only way of telling how fast I'm going at the moment) it's a good little motor.

So, hopefully I'll get some useful information from the forum, and once I get to find my way round the car I'll try to contribute.  I contributed quite a bit to the technical section of the Granada forum, but at the moment my technical knowledge of the Omega extends only to putting oil in the engine...

Hello and a very warm welcome to you! :y

No the CDX is not top of the range.  That accolade belongs to the 'Elite' with a few more toys! :D :D ;)

Good evening matey. Welcome aboard :y
If you want an Elite, just ad the extras, that's what i did. I don't like sun roofs or the alloys on the CDX/Elite's so i purchsed a CD & added the extra spec to my standard :) :)
