11. Feb 2008 at 20:49

hi,
i would like to say hello
today i picked up my first Omega, its a 1999 2.5 6v cdx Auto, its a lovely car and reminds me of my old granada's, i have moved from a Passat to this, just a few question if i may, What mpg can i expect if driven , also, its only got one keyfob and dont fancy handing overy £130 for another one from the dealers, What are my options for a spare, are they all the same if i find one thats identical on ebay, just need to change the blade? and what price should i pay, is there anywhere that can code it or is this only dealership job
i got the car off ebay, what a motor, its a beast. take a look i would like to see what you guys think
