thanks

people look in disbelief when i tell them the mileage the interior is spotless no signs of wear on the seats the is a bit at the top of the steering wheel bar that am pretty chuffed have drove some fords that have done 130k and they are completely w*&ked out engine's sound ruff and rattley and inside the interior is worn to bits.

so here's to vauxhall for making superb cars even though some of the critics think there cr*p i have never had a problem with vx i found reliability is great build quality is good and some of the toys and buttons you get in the car you wouldn't get in a top of the range bmw etc of it's time

cheers again

cheers the wood am touching is pretty lucky walnut wood lol the wheels are 15" with 205/65/15 tyres on them.

the car has been looked after and i look after it there is a couple of small faults with it the rear sunblind goes up but won't come down unless helped and if i put the passanger heated seat on it blows the fuse apart from that it all works and the engine and gearbox are really smooth and it has plenty of power in it.

cheers

cheers for the replys and info all

i have got quite attched to the omega it's never let me down engine wise and i have covered thousands of miles in it. so after mulling it over for a while i think am going to retire the old girl. and sell the rover to be honest it's to grandad for me and i'll miss the big comfort and space of the omega and go for an other omega a V6 one possibly a CDX or elite.

General Discussion Area / what should i do

« on: 15 January 2007, 20:45:58 »

hello all

i have owned my omega for quite a long time now and it is getting on now and needs some work doing to it like o/s tierod , x2 front arb droplinks x2 front tyres + tracking needs doing also rear backbox and maybe steering idler as i find it quite difficult to keep it in a straight line and also a major service and also have a tapping noise from engine possible hydrolic lifters? the car as now done 207k it as mot in 2 mnths time and tax end of april is it worth doing all these things or should i retire her the the big scrapyard in the sky. i have been given a rover 216sli Mreg auto with t&t so am in quite a quandery what to do or which car to keep. if any of you chaps could give me some advice if it's worth doing up i would be greatful.

thanks
