Title: Newbie from Reading, Berkshire
Post by: JGMerlin on 05 March 2011, 21:03:59

Hi Everyone!

I've been reading your forum with great interest for some time but I've only just come to register. I'm ashamed to say that one of my first postings is going to be into the 'Wanted' section but I've been a 'Vauxhall man' all of my driving life so hopefully I can give something back.

I've had a few Omega's in my time and was lucky enough to have several as company cars in the late 90s/early 00s.

My job changed recently and now involves me doing a lot more traveling. Fuel prices being what they are I wanted to find a cheap (diesel) car to use for work. Wanting something comfortable for longer trips the Omega 2.2 DTi seemed to be the best compromise.

I bought a cheap one and as expected the car has had more that it's fair share of 'issues' but I'm working through them. Luckily I'm fairly handy with a spanner ;)

I look forward to hearing from you on the forums!

All the best,

Jamie

"Hello" and welcome :)

A quick read of the "rules" and you'll spot that you need 250 posts before you can open a topic in "sales and wants" :(

However .. if it is a genuine "wanted" then post up in the "test" section and ask a moderator to move it for you.

There are genuine reasons for this procedure .. all based on past problems .. :(

Thanks for the warm welcome everyone.

I must admit that I hadn't read the rules in detail and I absolutely appreciate why it would need to be this way.

I've spent the afternoon extricating the turbo from the car and  even though the engine is shared with other Vauxhalls they decided to use unique parts on the Omega  ;)

This and the fact that the DTi wasn't as popular as the petrol engined variants is making finding the right parts tricky.
