Pretty sure my old Omega is a scrap yard in or around Halifax somewhere

Is yours in bits 

Nope.   

But I often think that browsing this forum is bad for me. I see so many posts about wishbones, crank shaft sensors, autoboxes and heaven knows what else that I drive along constantly waiting for something to happen. But it rarely does 

I am a big believer in preventive maintenance, if possible I will get something done before it breaks, but this is not easy. I don't do my own work, I use a garage all the time. And posting here and/or asking the garage inevitably gets the response " why spend money fixing something that isn't broken?". My answer is that I don't want to break down at night in the rain on a German Autobahn, and no I will not keep a spare crank sensor (or whatever) in the back to fix it myself at the roadside 

I've already decided, any big breakdown or failure, the MV6 goes . . . .

Sadly my old one is going to be scrapped I think,body is mint and 80 k miles covered but seems like oil cooler is gone and lady doesnt want to spend any more on it(had complete exhaust system a month or so ago),she has already bought another car so I think it could be curtains for the old girl

Well it either fell off or decided not to work ie electrics 

Anyway the twin mount tow bar plate is on together with all the wiring fed through into the car , not quite ticked off the sheet of things to do but getting there slowly 
One thing owning an Omega , it keeps you busy and gets you familiar with the workings of it

If i get half of the reliability from my 2.2 that i got from my PFL (seven years). then i shall be quite pleased.
