SO UNFAIR?
21. Jan 2007 at 22:40
 
WHY OH WHY!!! i've had my 3.0elite for 4 years and it seams that it's been in the garage being repaired more than on the road.
i love the car, spend endless amounts of money on it.
so why can't i get it to be trouble free atleast for a few months.
i'm at the end of my tether, just drove to cardiff and back today and all of a sunden i got heavy vibrantion from the wheels on the way home . now it's becoming silly were do you draw the line and cut your losses.
i love it , but i haven't got endless pockets?

Howdoo, and welcome to the forum.      Thumbs Up!

Take the time to research the how too's and the 'search' function for anything thats a tad obscure.  If no luck, post in the general secion and theres loads of peeps with enough experience of the Omega to keep you right.  Might take a few minutes, but no doubt someone will chip in!

Chin up!!   Thumbs Up!

To be honest, Omega's aren't practical cars to own if you have to rely on garages for stuff.

This is a great forum, and will enable you to many jobs yourself (which are often much easier then garages make out) and you can save a packet.

You are also only about 40 miles from me, so if there's stuff you can't do, there's a good chance I'd be prepared to roll up sleeves and help out Tongue

Hi Salvo and welcome to the forum Thumbs Up! Yep, know what you mean, I don't have the expertise, tools or time to sort problems out on mine so have to fork out all the time. It does pay to find a decent independant garage if you can.
