Hello all
Just need a quick heads-up - The time has come for me to part woth my Omega and I thought I would let people know about it in the cars for sale section but I can't post in there - I am assuming it's because I'm a newb? Can anyone confirm?
Many thanks

Omega General Help / Re: Oil leak?

« on: 13 December 2013, 14:11:18 »

Yes just got a mechanic who lives a few doors down to take a look - rocker cover gasket apparently - a lot of oil where it shouldn't be (that was the gist of it)

Omega General Help / Oil leak?

« on: 13 December 2013, 13:23:32 »

Hi Folks
I have a 2.2 cd auto estate on an x done 80k miles had a full service, cambelt and water pump 1k miles ago and is performing excellently. However I have recently noticed a few oil spots on the driveway (don't tell the mrs!) and wondered what it might be (I am not a mechanic or that way inclined unfortunately). The oil level is fine on the dipstick and hasn't needed topping up so the leak is obviously minimal just wondering what I should do about it - aprart from cleaning the drive :-)
Many thanks
Iain

Omega General Help / Omega 2.2 CD Auto Est

« on: 21 November 2013, 16:26:41 »

Hi
I am new to the forum after having recently acquired an Omega (2000 on an  X 2.2 CD auto estate full leather). I love it, absolute dream to drive and tons of space (obviously!). It's done only 70K miles and has recently had the cambelt changed. One slight fly in the ointment is that the other day it came up with the "automatic gearbox" Check light. It has only done it once and the performance wasn't affected (didn't slip or go into "limp mode" at all) so I am wondering what I should do about it? It hasn't done it since and like I say gearbox is as smooth as ever.
Any insight greatly received. By the way I should point out that I am a computer geek by trade and not at all mechanically minded when it comes to cars so any DIY is probably a no-no :-(
Many thanks.
Iain
