Hello All
10. Feb 2008 at 18:23

Hi

First of all a bit of background info. I have a 2000 MV6 that I got in August 2002. It was originally in the service of Thames Valley Police so it had been around the block (the M25

) a bit before I go it. It has been a great car with only a few minor problems outside the usual servicing of the parts that normally need replaced after a few years (exhaust, plugs etc). It has now passed 157k and it is generally going strong.

Cheers

Calum

Edited to move my techie question - will post in techie section instead Embarrassed

I have been drawn here because of a problem with my Omega that resulted in me calling out the rescue service, the engine simply cut out on an exit from the M9 at lunchtime today. I tried to restart but the engine just would not start again. I called the rescue service, the chap arrived within half an hour and when he asked my to try starting the car so he could determine what the problem was it started first time Embarrassed

. So, I plan to search the site to see if anyone else has encoutered the same problems.

Cheers
