Yes I would as I owned one miggy before I knew the OOF existed, and worked on many other cars including a Senator and Carlton's using personal knowledge and skills, and the odd maintenance manual.

What the OOF has done is given me the confidence to tackle jobs on the miggy, and target specific issues knowing what I am looking for, saving huge financial cost and much frustration.  But actually that still would not make me give up my large Vauxhall, no more than it did in the past

There's always been a wealth of knowledge on the Autobahnstormers site. I think that the OOF has just benefited from the wider spread use of the Internet in recent years, the ABS used to have an email based 'forum' years ago ...... way before OOF started that would sort your straight 6 out.

I owned my first 2.0 Omega estate for 6 years before I stumbled upon OOF and managed to sort all the usual problems such as cam sensor and wishbones etc. on my own as I have worked on cars all my driving life.  I must say though that all the amazing maintenance guides on this site have helped me considerably since, especially repairing my drivers door solenoid switch recently and the help available here is second to none, long may it last!

Don't get the significance, Andy....since I have been a member, I thought the term miggy was an affectionate term ??
Am I misreading

It's just a term I don't particularly like.

I used that on my first Omega owning experience between 1997 and 2001. The ABS help was useful, but the system very clunky. They were also much more geared up to the other models as the Omega was still a production model and significantly more expensive than they are now. It's interesting that I had many of the problems back then that still afflict the model now - but things are much more easy to resolve due to the number of cars being broken providing low cost parts and the priceless maint guide section.

I bought ran and sold my first Omega without ever having heard of the OOF,indeed it wasn't until I collected my present Omega that the OOF was recomended to me by the guy I was buying it off.So yes I would have,but the OOF certainly makes the ownership experience a whole lot easier and cheaper,with sound advice saving £s in guesswork/"professional"help.
