Another Hello!
02. Jan 2008 at 21:58  
Hi Everybody,

And a Happy New Year to you all. 

Strictly speaking, I shouldn't really be on this forum as I don't own an Omega... yet.  I hope to change that as I'm a prospective buyer and am currently looking at a 2001 2.6 CDX Manual with about 60k miles on the clock.  I've stumbled accross the forum by accident and am glad I found it.  I originally set out to buy an E240 Merc but, damn, the Omegas are great value for money.  Something of a hidden motoring gem.

I'm looking forward to getting to know you all and if this purchase doesn't work out, maybe something may come up in this forum in the for sale section.

Regards,

TR

Welcome to the forum TR, good luck in your search, your more than right about motoring gems, but make sure you get history with the car and a min of when the belt and tensionners were last changed. 40,000/4 years tops.

Thanks to everyone for the kind words of welcome so far.

Yes, thanks for the tip.  I had a quick read in the forum here and found out about the belts.  40k isn't long is it?  Most cars I've had are around 60k.  The car I'm looking at has a fully stamped Vauxhall service history and she had the betls done at 40k. 

I initially started looking for a 2.2,  but then I though I might as well go for the V6 as I intend to convert her to "LPG".  I already run a car on LPG and I wouldn't go back to derv.

The choice for Omega's in N. Ireland isn't great and all the choice is over in the mainland UK.  Anyone in the forum from N.I. by the way?

Cheers

Tim
