apart from average 32mpg......... I've seen 32mpg on a long run, but by stretch of the imagination can I say my Omega averages anything like that. 23mpg is probably more like it.  ::) ::)

Anyone noticed how it didn't have a cambelt changed until 2002, and the next was on 2010, how lucky was that. Also the fact that the next change is written down 8 years after the year of replacement. Bad servicing.

First one was (admittedly) very overdue. The 8 year intervals that follow are the ones specified for that age in the service book, although we all know that it is wrong and it was reduced to 4 years again ;)

The second cambelt change, 2010, that's 8 years. It also says at the bottom, the time it should be changed, which was written as 8 years after the day it was changed.
