well I've bitten the bullet and jacked it, stripped the front suspenion down and replaced both bottom wishbones...they were shagged! 
beat a new pair into submission and it handles a lot better. :D:y will get the track checked out again...oh and will measure both sides again....when it stops raining

Hi Guys & gals,
Well I've chucked the old car out in the thunderstorm and got the estate in the workshop.
jacked up and wheel off. there seems (to me anyway) a lot of play in the front rubber bush/doughnut in the bottom wishbone. I can get a lot of movement if use a gemmie (with no great pressure/effort) on the underside of the taution bar/top of the wishbone.
is this acceptable/the norm?? :-/

Congratulations on an excellent forum, loads of info...didnt know you could get all these probs
SO... I have an 02 turbo Diesel estate and for the last 6 months its been pulling to the left, I've had it checked over by a race/rally prep guy who knows his stuff and he says that the tracking is bang on. 2 degrees tow in? :-/
Then he checked all four, again bang on.
Then he measured wheel base and found the N/S 8mm shorter than the O/S? Car is clean with no impact damage/repair.
I've changed front discs, pads, no uneven wear.
So are there any rubber bushes etc that maybe worn and give this discrepancy?
I restore old cars as a hobby so I'm pretty handy but have never got underneath the omega to look/see. never needed to as both the cars I've had have been excellent

How much coolant does a 2.2 take?

According to the owners handbook:

Z22XE - 9.4 with manual gearbox
             9.2 with air con

Get 5 litres of Vx red stuff anti freeze for a 50/50 mix

do you really rate the Vx stuff, I was going to do a water change and I've got a gallon of the blue stuff in stock?
