I was a Senator owner for best part of 8 years - a '93 24v - but have had to say goodbye to it as it was getting a bit expensive, in bodywork, to keep on the road.

Now I have a '98 Irmscher Elite - something a bit different as there dont appear many on the road - especially down south.

I hope it does me as well as the Senator did - I did 170k in it without incident.

I am looking forward to a long association with the car and with fellow Omega owners on this forum.

Peter

Welcome to the site :)

Just keep an eye on the top of the doors, and treat any rust before it becomes a problem.

With the free advice available here, you should be able to keep in excellent mechanical order.

I would recommend regular oil changes - I do mine every 3 - 4k, just as it starts to turn darker. Only costs about a tenner to do, so worth it ;)

Hi Peter,

welcome to the site ... your motor looks suspiciously like one that was on ebay a few months ago!

Drove past Ashford today on the way to Folkestone ... I'm in Chatham ....

Key thing to bear in mind is the cambelt & tensioners - make sure they're changed every 40k or 4 years - whichever comes sooner - it's the tensioner that usually goes and throws the belt which can end up being a rather expensive repair!!

Keep on top of the maintenance - and especially the tin worm - and the V6 should easily match the mileage of your senny ...
