Title: Hi Omega owners
Post by: charlottesdad on 17 June 2007, 21:51:40
Didn't know there was a sight like this until I clicked on a link from a seller on eBay. Just a bit of info: I am a self employed chauffeur and this is the 3rd Omega I have had. My 2 previous one's were 2.O 16 valve and both had done well into 250000 miles, and not one of them let me down. My current one is a 2.5 V6 GLS on a V plate, the face lift model, and at the moment it has done 157000 with no signs of trouble. Look foward to posting and reading topics. Just one more thing, why did Opel / Vauxhall think that the Signum could ever reolace this car. Alan  :)

When you have been doing the job I have for nearly 10yrs. you knock up the mileage. Looking after them on a regular basis is the key to trouble free motoring, which I have had. My wife is alwys complaing that I lavish more attention on my car than I do on her.
