Pretty sure my old Omega is a scrap yard in or around Halifax somewhere ??? ???

Nope. :y
But I often think that browsing this forum is bad for me. I see so many posts about wishbones, crank shaft sensors, autoboxes and heaven knows what else that I drive along constantly waiting for something to happen. But it rarely does :y
I am a big believer in preventive maintenance, if possible I will get something done before it breaks, but this is not easy. I don't do my own work, I use a garage all the time. And posting here and/or asking the garage inevitably gets the response " why spend money fixing something that isn't broken?". My answer is that I don't want to break down at night in the rain on a German Autobahn, and no I will not keep a spare crank sensor (or whatever) in the back to fix it myself at the roadside >:(
I've already decided, any big breakdown or failure, the MV6 goes . . . . :'(

Sadly my old one is going to be scrapped I think,body is mint and 80 k miles covered but seems like oil cooler is gone and lady doesnt want to spend any more on it(had complete exhaust system a month or so ago),she has already bought another car so I think it could be curtains for the old girl :'(

Well it either fell off or decided not to work ie electrics >:(
Anyway the twin mount tow bar plate is on together with all the wiring fed through into the car , not quite ticked off the sheet of things to do but getting there slowly ::)
One thing owning an Omega , it keeps you busy and gets you familiar with the workings of it ;D
