Hi All,

Just bought myself a 1998 Omega Elite and I gotta say, so far I Love It!

Anyone got any advice on anything I should look out for on this car?

Cheers,
Nigel

Hola! Welcome to the forum.

Look out for? ABS ECU failure:Speedo goes, dash light on. Well documented problem and fixable. Have a look in the maintenance guides. Some very good stuff in there. Happy Motoring  Thumbs Up!

Welcome. Cambelt and tensioners must be changed every 40,000 miles or 4 years - whichever comes first. If there is any doubt that this has been done, get it done asap, if not sooner.
Have a look in Faq and maintenance guides etc. to get some ideas about what to look out for and what problems can occur. Thumbs Up!
