Hi everyone,i have just bought a 2.5 v6 estate,full service history etc.
Done 200 miles since picking it up yesterday,and my backside still feels like it has been on feathers all that time

I had a Carlton a few year's back,and had thought the Omega B would be like that to drive.....how wrong i was,
this is a great car.

Anyway,my name is Iain,and i hope to learn a lot from this informative site

cheer's

Welcome to the site

The Omega is a great mile cruncher Thumbs Up!

Certainly is, mine has done 160,000 and I have no doubt that it will do it all again.

I have personally done 15k in it, only had it 6 months now, eats the miles, and at 35-40mpg too.

Great car.... Thumbs Up!

And Welcome to the site... Thumbs Up!

I Love my Omega, wanted it for so long, now it's in my grasp, it's not getting away!!

Hi Bruce and Dave

(and everyone)

I will have a look in the jockular Omegas thread now Cheesy

PS my judder problem is still there Bruce Sad

i had hoped it was mainly due to the car only doing 1500 miles or so since the last service and MOT ie.7 months ago.

So i may well need you're expert eye mate Wink
