Hallo
« on: 07 July 2010, 15:49:01 »
I am sort of using my fathers Omega every now and again.  He is currently (and may be permanently) unable to drive.

Its an 02/02 Elite 2.6 Auto in Nocturne Blue, with grey cloth.  Its overdue its belts, needs an aircon top up and the heated drivers seat has burned a small hole in the side bolster. It has about 50k on the clock, so it hasn't been used a great deal.  He is the second owner and has had it since it was 6 months old.

I don't really know what to do with it.  I can't afford to run it (21mpg while driving Miss Daisy is frightening) My dad used to get 18mpg  :o Even my ancient 94 BMW 525i 24v can manage 30mpg.

On the plus side it is comfy rapid and is a fantastic cruiser.

Hello and a warm welcome to you! :y

If you stay with the Forum and ask questions, let alone read what advise there is already, you will find there is plenty of assistance to keep your dads car going, and maybe improve the mpg!! :D :D ;)

Hiya welcome. Sounds as if a good service is over-due
Cam/belt,tensioners oil and coolant changed ,breathers cleaned, and yes new plugs.
Then maybe go from there.
