Well I have bought a replacent for the omega. Its an 02 plate astra 2.2 SRi 3dr in Silver. Going to get it tomorrow and will post some pics. Ideally wanted a 1.8 or a diesel but this was priced right and should get 35mpg still :y
-
Nice one :y
Whole different ball game to Omega, but a nice car. Enjoy!
-
nice,just make sure its had regular oil changes :y
-
Nice one , look forward to the pics ;)

Does that mean you'll be defecting to the Astra Owners Forum then ::) ???
Bit of a difference from an Omega though I'll have to admit. Mind you I did have an SRi Astra, and I found the SRi seats were too firm in the back rest and not a lot of give for comfort, support yet, but comfort no.
I won't mention about the Astra being easier to park on your drive though... Opps just have ::) ;D

Well just got back from picking it up from manchester and all is fine. Drives well, very nippy. Surprised with the spec. The guy said it had a few options but apart from the standard SRI spec its got:
HID Headlights with Washers
4CD Changer
Full Enclosure Alarm
Rear Parking Sensors
Side Airbags
Irmscher Backbox which is only 2 years old.
Irmscher Grill
It had the Chain replaced at 71000 miles in 2008 and its now on 112000 with part history. Guy who i bought it off was a vauxhall fan and had serviced the car himself so im happy. Last oil change was in August so will get one done next week
How often should the chain be renewed on the 2.2?
-
good one Dan. :y

Will give it a good wash and post some pics.
Mike - Still going to be on here. Its a 2.2 anyway and still going get pete to service it ect :y

Thought you were going to get a diesel for economy and low tax? Sounds like an excellent car though, looking forward to the pics :y

I was mate but they were too pricey for me. Mind you i got back to Dudley on £15 of petrol (approx 85 miles)

Assuming you paid 135.9p per litre, that's 11.04 litres of fuel, or 2.43 gallons. Therefore your economy is 34.98 mpg :y

Cheers mate. I miss the comfort and size of the omega but I'm glad I stayed with vauxhall. Its done 110k but with the extras and what I paid I'm happy :y

Tidy car mate :y

-
I know Paul. It was a labour of love but getting 950 for it I thought was sensible money given what prices are like :)
-

Yeah gave it a mini valet today, bloody hard finding a car less than 900. I owed my old man 50 of it >:(
-
That car looks very clean, nice one.... :y :y
I liked the camper better though, I would love one but can't justify it really, have to stick with borrowing my Dad's ::) ::)
-
My dad owns it. Its a nice bit of kit but takes up most the drive ::)
-
Looks good mate :y

Right, so different to here, Master Vamps thought that I should park on the road so that he could put his 'new' car on the drive, needless to say he parks on the road.......... :D :D :D

Nice car Dan, though it'll take some used to seeing you drive that around, we're so used to use in the larger blue Mig ::) Sounds like you got a good deal as the last owner was a fan, which means it'll more likey be looked after, like your Mig was - Nice one :y

well its been just over a week without the omega and i still miss the old girl. the astra is proving a nice car still but i miss the crusing ability of the mig.
