Hello From York
16. Sep 2006 at 13:32
 
Hi.
My name's Pedro, saw the link to here from VXPirates.

Our lass has a 2000 W reg 2.5 Elite Estate in hideous Mica (?) green with awful beige leather and brown plastic inside - it really is horrible!!

What she's spent on it in the last year would keep GM afloat on the stock market indefinitely, and it's still only bog-standard - apart from the Irmscher rear spoiler.  Undecided

I'm not a fan of these cars, TBH - far too complicated - but I've joined up cos I tend to look after it for her. Shocked

Oh yeah, I have an Omega too, but it's the vastly superior Omega A........(Carlton to most of us in the UK though) Wink

Complicated no....try a Vectra C with Crap/Can bus.....

The biggest problem with the Omega comes after the dealers have been at them!

Hi Pedro and welcome to the site Smiley Hope you change your mind about the Omega, but I know what you mean about the upkeep of them - they can cost a few quid if you're like me and pretty useless under the bonnet! Embarrassed However, I'm sure some of the guides and useful advice you'll find here should save you a bit Wink
