Quite impressed

Hi everyone
I've just bought my forst Omega. I need a huge estate as I cart around gear for a small duo I'm in. I bought it off Ebay. A truly frightening experience. What happened was I made a BEST OFFER bid of a ridiculously amount and the bloody thing came up. I was more surprised than the seller. It turns out to be a 38000 m Y Reg green 2,6 manual estate that was an ex motability car. The HPI was fine and generally the car is is lovely condition. I have already learnt from your site to have the timing belt change and a full service.
I have a few problems
Firstly the windscreen keeps misting up. At first I horrific thoughts of head gaskets or holes in the heater matrix etc, but now I've read your section on FAQs about draining the scuttle thingy I'll have a go at that first, Can someone tell me if I'm on the right track?
Secondly, I was fooled into thinking that the car had cruise control, because of all the buttons on the steering wheel. But I have heard you can retro fit them. I'm a bit of a ar%^ with electrical things and I'd like to know if there is anyone near Manchester that can do them?
Thirdly, is there any way you can turn off the trip computer. I find it a PITA
Thats all for now.
Good site everyone

2.6 Manual estate nice!!! Manuals are not common!

Cruise can easily be fitted, you need may need a clutch and brake switch which sit above the pedals. However mine already had these! You also need a cruise stalk (replaces your indicator stalk with 3 extra buttons on the end), and get it enabled by tech2.

Thats it job done, nothing else needed!

Post in general help for more info  Thumbs Up!

Do you break V6's as often as TheBoy? Then you need tunnie's towing services, recovery costs are just the humiliation of being towed by 2/3's of an engine
