Hi fellow Omega owners. As a frequent visitor to your site and a new member below is a brief car history.
I have had a number of Omega's over the last 10 years, some good some bad. I currently own a 2001 Omega 2.6 auto estate Elite 74,000 miles, a real thrill to drive. My last car was an Audi Avant diesel, very economical but I hated being dragged by the front wheels and waiting for the turbo to cut in, so went back to a petrol rear wheel drive(Audi also needed a new auto box and sound system luckily under warranty!) . I brought the aforementioned omega estate for £1800 from a back street car dealer in Manchester last year with 65,000 miles on the clock. I am no mechanic but it seemed worth the punt! For the most part it has been a good buy and I really enjoy driving it but there are some issues I need to address. I will post these on the forum later and hope that some of the members can help with whether or not they are financially viable on this car.
