An excuse for a P*** up ??  :)

Seriously .. have a read of this thread .. it'll give you a good idea !!

http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1200130333

basically lots of work gets done, and a lot more socialising, with experts in both fields around to teach the less well versed ..  :)

Once a year about the coldest time of year ::)we all get together and do work on each others cars (not just cambelts) The work is done properly, it saves a fortune and a few more Omega's are kept on the road :y Then after all the hard work, we sit down to a BBQ and a beer or twelve :y

Are there any meets in the north west, iam worried about my cam,  an more i think about it i dont want to attempt it my self, if i get some one to do it what should be a fair price on it. i know someone who can do it but he doesnt have the "locking tool" i think he said. Each time i drive this car i like it even more, i loved my Passat but its losing favour, me poor VW needs work and ts not worth me spending a bundle on it. :-[ the power on the Omegajust shouts out at ya, i know its ONLY a 2.5 but its great to have a big bus again

Not aware of any other ones.  

We tend to have one big one annually, usually in the midlands area (central ish).

Get the cambelt dvd (£3 - PM Robin Hood), and see if you can do it ;)
