Newbie - shortly acquiring '95 Elite 3.0 manual
21. Jan 2007 at 19:39
 
Hi all

This looks to be an excellent forum for me as I will be acquiring a '95 Elite wagon on Tuesday evening, 3.0 with manual transmission, 125k miles up.

Previous owner has mentioned he doesn't know when the cambelts were last changed so I will PM Robin Hood ASAP to get a copy of the DVD!  Anyone near me (Newbury) got the cam locking kit I can borrow?  I think I'd better do the waterpump to be safe too...

Fingers crossed for the 80-mile drive home!

Richard

Welcome indeed. Smiley

I see you are acquiring a rare Omega indeed.

Real 3.0 Elites (ie. leather with 3 position memory, nice sound system. self tinting rear view mirror, electric rear blind etc) with a manaul gearbox are VERY rare.

Excellent choice of vehicle in my opinion. All the toys + "optional driver involvement pack" Smiley
