Hi All
08. Feb 2008 at 11:04
 
Hello Everyone,

Just started looking into buying a Deisel Omega preferably an estate but i'd also have a Saloon. I could do with a big, comfortable load lugger and I can't think of anything better.

I found this forum and it looks full if info and experienced Omega owners so I thought I'd sign up and benefit from your experiences.

Hopefully You'll all look after me  Wink

Cheers

Thanks Mate,

I'm after some pointers on what to look for, like I said I'm after a deisel estate with good spec, probably around a year 97-99 model.

Is there anything I should avoid or particulaly look for and how much should I be Paying. Also want at least 6 months MOT.

Cheers

Welcome to the site, from a TD (chipped, obviously) owner.

The TD engine is 'a bit' underpowered in standard form for such a heavy car (120bhp).  Chipping back to near BMW spec is an option on a manual, but doing that on an auto needs gearbox replaced with stronger ar35 unit.
