Title: hey lads and lady's i'm a new member.
Post by: mipper on 29 August 2010, 16:10:22

Just wanted to tip my hat to you all. I've just become a proud owner of a 2001 2.2 GLS in silver i've had the car 10 days now and i'm loving everything it has to offer.
I've just spent 100 quid on it getting it serviced and a new rocker cover gasket and she is now purring like a dream.
very happy with the car and a bargain at 600 pounds.
 :) would love to hear of any common faults to be on the look out for.

Thanks for the warm reception every one I have a basic servicing knowledge of cars in general so if I can help ill try.
I'm still getting use to driving the omega at the min as it is a big old unit but I have to say I'm enjoying the automatic gear box, starting to get lazy as I get older  :P Although I do feel 1 more gear would be beneficial as its a bit revvy at motorway speeds.

Yes, unfortunately only the later non-UK models got the 5 speed auto :(

Still your fairly local to me so if you do need a hand with your first service or any other jobs then just shout up and I'll happily direct you through :y
