Not sure which type I've got.  How would I get access to it as it's a bit awkward on a V6?  :-*

If you lift the bonnet it at the top right hand side of the engine. I access mine from under the car (on ramps) when it's filter change time.

An Omega isn't the B al & end all of cars. ;) There are far heavier cars about. You just need to be carefull driving forward up them as the lower edge of the front valence will tend to hit the ramps before the front wheels hit the ramps.

Hi Kate,
Don't give any work to a garage which can't re-fit a filter properly. Better to get a second opinion about their work and if defective, go for the throat. I know it's a pain, but unless you feel confident to do the job yourself, it's probably the best course to take.
It's really beginning to look as if the cost of a trip to Shifnal on Saturday would be your cheapest option.

I have had mine on ramps many times with no problems, but place a piece of wooden board about 1 inch thick before the ramps, this stops the front catching.

Yes, you would get an oil change at cost and the stat at cost to.....the result would be cheaper running coz you would get more mpg and the fuel used would be much less than the labour charges to do the job localy.

Yes, shifnel, telford.

If you can get it there, I will do the stat for you and check the oil leak.

Yes it is. See the various posts in 'Gen. Chat' & in 'Meetings' sections. The whole point of it is to help one another to do jobs using the expertise available (and to have some fun doing it), and whilst the schedule for major jobs is full I have no doubt some of us will find the time to start sorting out your difficulties.
Mark - would Kate have to buy her oil, filter, etc. to bring with her or will there be a supply source at the meet. Not been to one before.
