Hi all
Just looked at a 2.5 TD 105k the guy said he hd a problem with the box 6 months ago losing drive, and took it in to an auto trans specialist who said it was just low fluid, topped it up and all was well as it hadn't over heated ?
Does this sound right :question

Even if it is, that box will fail soon.

Pick up an AR35 for around £100 - £150, spend a day swearing whilst you bolt it on, and it will be an good'un.

Once you've fitted the AR35, contact Omegatoy for a chip, it becomes much more drivable, and more economical!

I have a good AR35, drives perfect.. I drove it over 250 miles.

£65 if it helps a member

Make sure it starts on the button. Having to crank it is not a good sign.

[philiggy]

Missed it    I'll keep on looking

Just curious.

The TD isn't particularly quick (standard) or economical (standard) unless on motorway runs.  If you are doing a lot of town driving, you may well be disappointed with MPG...

I honestly find the MPG pretty poor all the time!

If I drive around town for a week or so, my average will be about 20ish. On a good sensible run I might fetch 40 at a push - more often around 35ish

If I had another omega, going by what I have read on this forum, I would go for a petrol V6. Definitely.

day to day in mine, I seem to average around 37ish - thats with the cracked head.  Same journeys in my 3.0l v6 I average 24/25 ish.  Both autos, but I know which is more fun  [smiley=evil.gif]

Blimey, thats pretty good, maybe i was being a bit harsh with 20mpg its prob more than that. Just checked my avg. and it is 33.4 mpg thats over about a month of mixed driving. Mines a manual as well so i though it would be less thirsty!
