New member - collecting car on Friday 31st
« on: 24 July 2009, 20:38:06 »
Hi folks,

I am a member of VVOC and Vectra-Sport, I have had an S plate Arctic 1.8 Vectra and then a 02 2.2 SRI.

Just traded in my Vectra 2.2 SRI towards a 2.6 V6 CD Omega which I am picking up next Friday so not to lose out on the tax ... I think it looks a bit 'old man' but then again I'm probably pushing that hehe ...

New baby came along and the pram is massive, only just about fits in the Veccy with the subs ... the Mrs drives a small car but only has an auto licence so I was looking for a massive (but pref not estate) car with AC etc which isn't silly money like the Mondeo or the new shape Veccy which the Mrs can drive back from the pub occasionally .... Enter the Omega !!

I got what I think was a reasonable deal, couldn't be messing about with selling the Vec privately so I got usual book price on it and got a 51 plate Omega with FSH, 12 months MOT, 51k miles and no dints etc apart from a dodgy lacquer situation on the bumper. My Vec needed 4 tyres shortly, suspension bushes and a bit of a weld on the exhaust manifold, plus the MOT is due in 2 months so that was gonna cost me money anyway ...

So - a quick question before I search through the threads and get some useful info and that, I never was able to get the cruise stalk and clutch switch working on the Vec, and it should have been plug and play ... is it just as easy to fit in the Omega or are we talking different part numbers, or even not doable ??

Cheers,

Musicboy.

Thanks all, any pointers on the cruise control ? I can't find owt ... if the answer is no I will donate the bits to my mates 2.2 Vec and see if it works on his :-)

Looking forward to finding out loads more about this beast of a car, just hope I can afford to keep it - cheaper insurance but about 20mpg if I'm very lucky if the test drive is owt to go by !!
