I am in need of an Omega specialist, someone who has both skill and parts available who I can leave a car with and have them make everything work.
It appears that I'm not going to find my ideal 1-owner 2.5TD manual estate elite as quickly as I might have hoped, so the next option is to get an OK car and have someone give it "a good going over"
I did find a specialist on eBay a while back, somewhere down in the south west, but I can't find them again. Is there someone who comes recommended who could do this? I would do it myself, but I have very little time available, no workshop any more, and don't have a nice big pile of Omegas being broken to take parts from!
Either a commercial operation, or is there maybe someone on this board who would be interested in doing something like this? Someone else's money is burning a hole in my pocket for the right Omega, be it bought as is, or after a fair chunk of work.....

That sounds about right, although if I could find someone nearer civilisation that might be a bonus! By "civilisation" I mean Hampshire/West Sussex area, as that's where I'm based...

There's an expert TD mechanic called Gareth in Allens Garage, Tadley (7 miles from Basingstoke)
He used to have one, rebuilt the engine from scratch & has looked after mine since 2003 (including resurrecting it when I drove into -but not out of - flood water & hydrolocked it

I don't think diesel Omegas are Daz's favourite flavour. ;)

Indeed. His response was along the lines of that! Still, engine serviceing is something I'm quite happy with, what I need is someone with knowledge and experience of how the rest of the car goes together, and a stack of spares in order to make what will probably start off as an "ok-ish" Omega, into an excelent one...

Indeed not! He normally sends them to either me or ElitePete ;D
