Omega General Help / Re: Diesel Omega anyone....

« on: 16 August 2006, 22:07:35 »

Interested to hear of your MPG figure. I reckon this week I've seen mid 40's as an average - mind you that was pretty gentle in the main but like you I like to use the rev range (and the overtaking is better than my old nissan - that was bloody scary) I s'pose if you rev 'em up then they will use the fuel like any big car.

I was driving for work mind, so I wasn't in any real hurry - just nice to cruise all stateley and in comfort with good music and the auto aircon keeping things comfy.....

I'd be interested to hear from anyone out there who has a 2.2DTi - especially if you have run it a long time. I ain't never had a diesel before so this is pretty new to me but Jeez am I impressed so far. Haven't had this much fun on so little fuel since me first moped - only a bit more kudos this time.

Anything go wrong with these, anything I should watch out for and any driving tips from those in the know?

Thanks for the welcome guys. I will post some pics asap - off on holiday next week so good excuse to take some.
And yes, it does feel good to have a proper car again, didn't realise how much I had missed it. I drive around a lot in my job so having this car makes a difference (actually better on fuel than the Nissan Primera today!) - I even like going to work now.....whatever next?

Hi all you guys out there, nice to have found you all again. After two years away (driving a Nissan fer Gawds sake - not very engaging are they?) I am now the proud owner of a 2001 2.2TDi CD estate with just 47K on the clock and a full history to replace my old Carltons. So it's in black and we look like the Addams family on a day out and I will probably never have any money again - but I don't care 'cos its bootiful.

Now don't go telling me that it's going to break down before I get it off the drive tomorrow.........
