Right people just wondering, looking into a 2000 omega 2.2 GLS, and was just wondering if it had the same wiring loom as the higher spec models ( for example a CD or CDX ) as its at the right price just without a few goodies i want.

Cheers

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: Does such a mod as these exist for the Omega??

« on: 04 February 2008, 22:38:43 »

sorry for the hi-jack, but the best mod i would like to do to my Omega is the boot release.

Its nice that the boot 'pops' with the remote, but what would be nice is if it fully opens like BMW's rather than just lift slightly.

Not sure how it can be achived  :-/

Unless some big springs at suck inside so when its initally popped it springs open!  

couldnt you just use some stonger boot lifters, just exchange them for bonnet lifters

They are much longer, dunno if it can be done  :-/

sure they'll be some stronger ones out there, even its from something on VX, maybe some off a astra hatch?

Been thinking again lol i know dangerous or what lol. But been thinking how low can you go on 19's, as i'v noticed a few cars on the boards have 19' alloys on and they look really small in the massive omega archs

good good. At the moment just testing the water as i won't be able to afford one till next year. But deffo going to be a 3.0 v6 manual cant beat the rawr of a V6

Have you had an insurance quote recently?  my 2.6 was nearly a 1 grand TPFT at 28y/o and 1 yr NCB.  Now i have 5 y NCB reinstated i dropped to 450, hopefully sub 400 next year.  Fingers crossed.

At 19y/o i could just about get a 1000cc mini insured for a grand TPFT, ouch    After i saved up 2y NCB i was given a company car for 5 years and lost it all, in fact i worked in Bullwell, just off Cinderhill island, not far from you i guess!

What you want is a 2ltr manual with go faster stripes - did i mention i was selling mine at all  

Thing is, my car " registered in dads name and insured in mums " is used by all 3 of us. I have say on what happens to it.  And as my mum is what i call a mature driver ( aka old fat :lol: ) its cheepo cheepo. and also being with direct line i still get a NCB  8-)

Right, calling all owners who have had there omegas lowered. what is the ride quality like now its been lowered? Looking at getting an omega next year for my 18th or maybe 19th and was wondering if lowering effects the ride quality too much and also does it make its handle any better?

Omega General Help / Re: 3.0 V6 MPG

« on: 03 August 2007, 23:00:59 »

29 mpg on a run thats just a little less then my astra atm

I'm assuming you are ragging the Astra then? If you rag a 3.0l everywhere, expect sub 20.

thats NOT ragging it, thats driving round like a grandad with my flat cap on   thats why i'v been looking at omegas as there far more comfy and do about the same MPG by the sounds of it

If mpg important, the 2.5/2.6 manual are an excellent compromise.

HTH

i want best of both worlds, as i am found of track  8-)
