Four and a half years of ownership of a dti and so far it has only been the usual Omega faults of wishbone bushes, shocks and the like.

The crank sensor and drive belts have been replaced due to wear and tear, 54,000 miles on the clock now, but apart from that nothing much else to worry about.

As discussed before on other threads there always seems to be an oil stain across the front of the engine at the head to block join but does not get any worse it is just a stain that keeps appearing.

As far as I know all dtis were manual and traction control was not an option but I was fortunate that an LSD was fitted as a factory option.

All in all nothing realy to report but as stated mine is fairly low mileage.

No listing for auto in owners manual I'm afraid.
