Good Evening All
10. Mar 2008 at 22:21

Hello All, Newbie here.
I currently own a Rover 75 which Ive sold to my Father, im in need of a large car with loads of boot space as I run a mobile dj company.
Anyway Ive looked and looked and everywhere points at the Omega Estate, so I thought Id check out the owners club to find out more.

Couple of questions.
What year did the dash change on the Omega?
What sort of MPG can I expect from a 2.2, 2.6, 2.5td, 2.5dti and the 3.0
Are the 7 seater conversion kits easy to come by?

Welcome

Omega Launched in 94, small freshen up in 98, facelifted in 2000
MPG highly dependent on use - its heavy, so around town mpg badly suffers:
2.2 - mid 30s
2.6 - high 20s
2.5td - high 30s
2.5dti - no such car
3.0 - mid 20s

Thats assuming combined town and a road running. Motorways at 80mph, the 2.5td is pretty good
