Title: Cheeky Hello!
Post by Twiddlejockey on 12. Jul 2007 at 17:48

Just a line to say Hi to fellow Omega owners.

Go me an MV6 Estate a few weeks ago and love it. W 2000 3.0 Estate Auto (85k) in Dark Green for £1,300 and I thought it was a bargin before I even drove it. Now I know it is!

But, alas, it's developed a problem and now I've cheekily joined a forum so I can find some advice. :-[

I'll have a read through old posts and see if there's anything first. I'd hate to be one of those "Oh No....not another question on this!".

But I plan to hang on to the MV6 for a while, so it's great to find people with similar good sense when it comes to choosing a car!

Thanks for the welcome.

I'm at the edge of my ignorance here.............

I think it's prefacelift but I'm told that the wheels are the "MV6 special edition ones"

The wife prefers the elite wheels - but Birmingham is abit far to travel to make sure it's what everyone wants! ;D

Welcome to the site :)

To find if its facelift - does it have the electric window switches on the drivers door (facelift) or around the gearstick (prefacelift)

I'd offer a free rocker cover gasket change, but your Omega doesn't have rockers. Nor does any overhead cam engine. Nah, you need to change your cam cover gaskets ;D

:DWelcome aboard TJ. I'd imagine it's a facelift on a W but Migs are strange creatures.
Just asking but how did you come up with that user name, is there something we should'nt know?!!! [smiley=2vrolijk_08.gif]

Thanks to everybody for the welcome.....

Twiddlejockey sounds a bit rude I know - if your mind works that way. ;)

I play with small aircraft - turning them upside down etc for fun. I developed a habit of saying "I'm going to the flying club to 'ave a twiddle" - and got stuck with the nickname!
