Hi Steve and welcome :y :y
The interval is 4yrs or 40k so it's due on both counts ;) ;)
TBH, I would advise a change on a new vehicle (even with proof it has been done) for peace of mind :y :y
FWIW, the majority of the work is similar to the 2.0 engine ;) ;)

thanks for that lazy docker. yeah i tend to agree, any new vehicle should be given a cambelt change if there's no prof available of the last replacement.
i got the car as a workhorse for lugging band gear in, a drum kit and my bass gear. we got three people in the car last week and al the kit, well impresed!
i owned a jap car before this and have to admit the vauxhall has quite a few little niggles - mainly minorish electrical faults. overal i'm really pleased with it tho, and hopefully with the aid of the forums here should be able to sort it so its all running tidy again.
i downloaded a pdf haynes of the omega prior to this with the 2 litre in it and the pics look like the same. i'm guessing most of the dismantling will be the similiar, but do you know if the final adjustments, ie timing marks etc are the same?

btw its lpg, i see u have lpg installed, its so much cheaper running it, my last car ran on lpg and i don't think i'd ever go back!!

Yep... Timing will be the same. I'd also advise changing the water pump at the same time ;) ;)
You've picked a bad weekend to join as there is a big meet in Newent this weekend... There'll be some much more knowledgeable people back online next week ;) ;)
I would advise updating your profile with your location too... There may well be people who can help out :y
The niggles... Well, it wouldn't be an Omega without some of them ::) ::) ::)

I had a LPG Range Rover before this one. Not sure I'd convert another car with the way prices are going currently but I'd certainly consider it :y :y

Very true, they already feel like part of the character!!
Cheers for the advice on the water pump and the manual, and i'll update my profile too.
many thanks for your time and help
