nah,seems like this car is starting to fall apart

Air suspension is buggered,
It's leaking coolant
Rear crank seal and maybe sump gasket are leaking
cam cover gaskets are pouring oil down back of engine
onto exhaust
Autobox seems to have become very jerky

And the one that really topped it off was the B pillar airbag going off when I shut the door the other day

Im actually in 2 minds whether to use this as a spares car and find another one that doesn't need much doing to it,or just sell it as is for what I paid for it

Thanks chaps,all very helpful

It's a 99 T plate

Can they be changed without going under the car?

Hello all,

Bought my first omega today,brokedown after 5 miles,cant really complain though as it was dirt cheap

Car was running fine,I stopped for a few minutes then went to restart it but it just span over and wouldn't kick in again,sounded like it was almost going to fire a couple of times but just wouldn't

Plenty of petrol in

Was thinking some kind of hotstart issue?I had to dump the car and head home so can't confirm if it does start cold until I travel the 100 miles back to it

Is there any common failures on these that anyone can Think of?cheers
