Yet another newbie, be gentle with me. . . . .
18. Apr 2008 at 14:01
 
Hello to everyone who knows more about cars than I do, which is probably everyone.

I have a 98R Omega 2.5TD.  I'm not mechanically minded but I don't mind getting my spanners out and having a go as long as the risk of me causing catastrophic damage to my car is minimal.  I have one or two little issues with the car at the moment so prepare yourselves for a barage of questions and then a very blank look when I read the responses   Huh

Anyhoo, I shall post my questions in the appropriate areas of the forum and many thanks in advance of any assistance anyone can offer.

Let the silliness commence. . . . .
