Omega General Help / Re: Water in Oil

« on: 05 March 2007, 15:40:25 »

well its a couple of weeks on and the missus still does not drive the omega, she is clearly not feeling the love for the car that i do

No doubt this fiasco will end in my owning of a small french car or worse, maybe a diesel something or other. Anyways im going to sell the car and will put a note in the 2nd hand section so you chaps can have a look before i stick it the paper.

I mainly wanted to dig up this old thread to thank the previous posters who put my mind at rest about my concerns of mayo in the filler, but it looks like i wont be back to these forums untill i manage change my missus

thanks guys
Dave

I dont know what your wife has driven in the past but an omega takes a bit of getting used to. Make a deal with her, let her drive it for a month, if she still doesn't like it then divorce her

ha ha ha ha, she is reading over my shoulder so i think access to this website is going to be disapearing along with the car :s
i fear i may become the victim of domestic violence, so if you have not heard from me with 2 days alert the authorities

its not as bad as the picture, and the dipstick is black, so i guess it is normal.  
thanks guys, i was dead sure i was in for spending more money that i currently dont have.

The bad news is the missus wont drive the car so you may spot it in the used car section soon when i get the log book back

well guys seems maybe good news and some bad.

The maybe good news is my missus took the car today to see friends (25 mile round trip) and the mayo that was in the filler has not come back any worse, there is also no mayo on the dipstick. Does this sound promising?

The bad news is she absolutly hates the car and flat out refuses to drive it again, which means im probably going to be looking for a smaller car in the near future

Omega General Help / Water in Oil

« on: 17 February 2007, 12:28:26 »

hey guys,

i brought an omega recently and having nothing but trouble, i just had the rocker cover leak sorted and HT leads replaced because of the damage the oil had done to them and now i have a "coolant level" error message.

i checked the water it looks ok then i check the oil and its all white  

I am at my wits end, i have no money left after the last bout of repairs and now this, i have not even had the car a month (private sale thus no warrenty).

you think maybe head gasket or oil cooler, whats the cost?

feel so depressed now, no money and no car....... what a month

Omega General Help / Re: LPG Conversion?

« on: 19 February 2007, 20:53:54 »

is it possible to get runflat tyres for the omega? i know some of the newer high end cars (bmw merc) have them as an optional extra. These tyres even when punctured retain their shape allowing you to get the car to a convient place for a repair, though i do think your speed is limited to 50mph when flat, though i may be wrong.
