Title: Can I do This?
Post by: Jazz on 06 April 2008, 17:06:27
Hello all, I came so close to owning a Omega a week back, missed out by £20 on Ebay. Anyway, Ive found another its a 2000 Omega Estate 2.2 gls, so no leather or Cruise (which apart from it being an estate are essential)

Its got 102k on the clock with full Vaux service History and they are wanting £1500

Couple of questions if anyone can answer them.

How can I find out if it would be a simple removal of the Stalk and replace with a CC Stalk and a trip to a Tech 2?

Also are there any problems changing Interiors from cloth to Leather and does anyone have one for sale  :o

Cheers

James

Cruise will be stalk (£30 ish), tech2 reprogram (price varies - http://theboy.omegaowners.com), and possibly clutch switch if manual (most 2.2s have the switch already).

Ther's an omega 2.5 elite in Ossett for £1495 ....  :) but only saloons .. :(

I've used a leeds postcode in this search and a radius of 40 miles ... :)

to get an estate you have to widen the search a tad..

Remember any post 98 car has side airbags, so if replacing seats, ensure the new ones have side airbags as well...

Cruise will be stalk (£30 ish), tech2 reprogram (price varies - http://theboy.omegaowners.com), and possibly clutch switch if manual (most 2.2s have the switch already).

My dealer quoted me £48 (trade) for a cruise control stalk!

Maybe they've gone up since I last bought one.  A Vectra-C one is still around £30 as of last week  :-X
