Hello from Wakefield
06. Apr 2007 at 10:49

My first post to introduce myself. I own a Omega Elite estate which I've had from new (June 2000), and I love. I don't love the repair bills though, and my local Vauxhall dealer appears to be going up in price and down in service levels. Then I saw the light! Well, what I actually saw was the www.omegaowners.com sticker in the back of a members car (STMO 123 (Steve?), and realised there may be another way to cut out the increasing bills I incur for servicing. So here I am and I'm looking forward to helping and getting help. (although about the only technical thing I've done on mine so far is to replace the LCD on the colour display of my GPS, but if anyone needs info on that I have some LCD suppliers and some info on changing it.

Thanks to Steve? (STMO 123) and Jaime (The Boy) for helping me get started.
