Title: repair or scrap?
Post by: big_bopper on 02 January 2008, 16:28:50

have been most unhappy with my omega since i got it, a lot of you will remember my posts about the problems i have had with it, well today it finally got the better of me again, driving along the M1 at 60 ..ish .. when it lost all power and sounded like a washing machine, called the RAC out to be told that my cam belt has gone.

is this fatal for the omega? is it repairable? or is it now just a pile of scrap sitting on my drive?

1997 'R' reg 2.0L Tourer estate

thanks Tony

depends on what its worth to you bud !!! can you repair it yourself ?? if it needs to go into a garage for repair you are gona be looking at silly money !! :o :o most likely need a new set of valves and could be piston damage prob best to look for a different engine !! i know there are some on ebay low miles but £350 !!! ::)
