Hello all
22. Oct 2006 at 10:29

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.

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 Wink

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 ...
