newbie to omega`s
« on: 21 July 2011, 08:15:20 »
Name is lee,married with 3 kids and just got hold of a decent 1999 omega 2.0  :D no laughing  :P
Pretty handy with spanners so will be tinkering on the omega shortly changing the cambelt,tensioners and waterpump as a precaution  ;)
I think mine has fly by wire throttle and a auto box so would like to fit cruise control if possible? any pointers  :y

hello & welcome.  :y

a 2.0 shouldnt be drive by wire (2.2's are)

You can fit a cruise kit....but finding one with the longer cable needed for a 2.0 may be tricky, and check you have the loom as not all GLS's had it iirc.
