Well, after three weeks since I left my deposit, I'm still waiting to be able to collect it. After Swansea took their time in sorting out the old tax on the new disc, some numpty at MB sent it back to the previous owner .............. still no V5 so I can't tax it so can't drive it. >:( >:( >:( >:(

As the Omega is almost worthless, it's as well as the Merc. It'll be used a a comparison between petrol & The Fuel of the Devil ;) ;)

Modern diesels are cracking engines. :y Performance, torque and economy, what more could you want. Will it get treated to one of those flash electric towbars?

..... Will it get treated to one of those flash electric towbars?
It has a towbar, but 'just' a ordinary detachable, not sure that the electric versions were available on the R Class - I've seen them on the E Class estates though.

Detachable aren't ordinary you flash git. ;D ;D Bolt and flange is ordinary (like mine) :-[ . See, you've turned in to a snob already and it hasn't even arrived yet. ;D ;D :y
Only kidding, I hope you soon get it sorted. Something to look forward to. :y

By comparrison our Omegas have about 200 .......... but there again they're somewhat lighter & only drive through 2 wheels. ;)

It will last you a while then 8)

I've driven the E320 cdi with the same motor but 5 speed and it'd take a good petrol powered car to get away from it :y :y

I thought the Derv lump was a 3.2 V6 unit?
There a good second hand buy as the depreciation is pretty monsterous

280 and 320 are both 3.0 v6 but different output,190 and 224 bhp :y
-
After years of bashing how facelifts look, you buy that ;D - Makes Facelift look like a DB9 :D
Any more pictures?
How come you bought it? Got a bigger caravan to tow?
Hope it serves you well :y

There are R320s & R280s .... both 3 litre lumps :-\ metric torques perhaps :-\ :-\ They set off at £47000 & it looks pretty easy to 'spec them up' by a good few £thousand ;)

I've just stated the obvious ;) If you want a car that looks like an Astra G ..... buy an Astra G ;) ;) ;)
Any more pictures?
I've only got this one cos I was taking the piss & asked the saleman to send me a picture of it ... just to remind me what I've bought ;D He took me literally ::)
How come you bought it? Got a bigger caravan to tow?
Just fancied a change. I saw one last year on the road & had never seen one before, so looked it up on't'internet. Same caravan though this should be able to tow the house. ;D
Hope it serves you well :y
Thanks! :y

I have PM'd you a solution to your Friday problem Andy..... :y :y

Cool. Bet it's a fantastic drive. :y
Glad you went for silver.. or is it grey..or silver/grey..or grey/silver. Anyway, that colour that is the same as 50% of all cars on the road. ;) The black ones look like hearses. ;)

It does drive very well, but if you think an Elite is boat like ........... this is like a cruise liner ..... even when the suspension is in 'sports' :y
Silver/grey seems to be the main choice of colour. :y
Hearses don't normally have 'privacy glass' in the back, but I know that when my Dad EVENTUALLY gets to see it, will say it would make a good 'private ambulance' ::) ::) ::) ie the vehicle that undertakers move bodies from home to mortuary to chapel of rest ;) ;) ;) Either that, or as my daughter says, a drug dealers car! ;D ;D ;D

Buy some of those "Smints" which are tiny & could look like drugs, pop them in little plastic bags, drive along outside a night club next to wasted pi$$ heads, flog them for 10 quid each in bag, sorted! ;D

;D ;D ;D It'd help towards repayments :y The only drawback might be http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/index.php?topic=103652.0 which is speculated as being a drugs related 'incident' ???

Ah true, but with all those horses, sorry torques under the bonnet, should make short work of anyone chasing you. That said if you come to a corner, sounds like you've had it! ;D

Mostly paid with a loan from 'every little helps' but as my mortgage finishes about this time next year so I though why not! Anyway, as said before, you can spend far more on a new Astra than this is costing me ;) ;)
-

Saw one of these today and actually they look pretty good in the flesh. If I ever have one too many kiddies, its a car that would be at the top of my list (if I could afford it ;D ). Not a patch on facelift Omegas, lookswise though :y
-
You have PM....... :y

And so you should, this has gone on long enough....... :( :( Threaten to name and shame the garage, on the forum, as well..... :y :y
I wore my OOF T Shirt when I took the Omega into a Ford Garage for an oil change and MOT, just to let them know...... :D :D

Andy, how many seats does yours have? I read on Parkers earlier ones seat 6 and later ones 5 or 7, not sure on the crossover.

I like that Andy, nice car mate :y

Mine's a 6 seater, the later cars (I think from 2008) have a middle seat on the middle row, & I believe the short wheel base cars were only 5 seaters. :y
