Aug 2006 at 10:49 Way too expensive. I think this is the 2.0dti used in Zafira/Vectra etc. Probably not quite powerful enough for Omega. But then, nor is the 2.0/2.2 petrol lump

Must be those rock hard tyres - they were a little 'slippery' around that little S bend 1/2 mile down the road

Hooligan!

That was the first time i ever felt the back end begin to step out too, i left all that kind of driving behind in my Mondeo Grin

For such a large barge, the Omega is quite happy to be thrown around a bit... Cheesy

I find it more agile the the '95 Mondeo i had...

A lot of passengers up front have been very suprised at how tight its turning circle is, and how you can chuck it into corners (even a facelift with rock hard tyres Wink

)

I wound up my boss once, by saying my Omega had a tighter turning Circle than a Fiesta Zetec S.... quick data search on Parkers.co.uk proved me right Grin

I wasnt aware they had used to 2.0 DTi in the Omega until i read an article in Car Mechanics listing the engines used...begs the question Why? really, same as the use of the 2.0 8v.

I agree on the handling too...it's tidy enough flying it round the twistys, does roll abit more than the Calibra that im used to obviously, and im a little cautious of losing the back end on tight wet corners under tree's due to the torque...but keps its own non the less.

As for the wheelspin area, i spun my tyres up on Friday afternoon...it was hellish wet though Wink
