Thanks Mel.  Thats very kind of you. I'm totally clueless and don't know what to do for the best.  Any help would be greatly appreciated as I've took my car to 3 garages and none of then have fixed it and two of them charged!

I used to work at Castle View school next to Hylton Castle!

Thanks again.

Kate

Get closer to him Kate, and take advantage.   ;) ;D
Seriously, don't panic. You'll get a solution from this Forum if you're prepared to be patient. Don't spend silly money at Main stealers or incompetent/indifferent independents.
And the cambelt meet on the 23rd. would definitely see you sorted if you don't solve it earlier. Grab a friend and make it a day out. Everyone's welcome!

Kate, get yourself to Nottingham and let Mark sort it out for you. Alternatively, as mentioned earlier in this thread, there is a gathering in Telford soon where you are sure to get it sorted.

A trip to Telford might cost you a few quid in fuel but at least you know the job will be done properly :y

Thanks. Why are Vx dealers so bad? Surely they have experience of working on omegas so should be experts?

There's probably no oof members live around here.  Well not if they've got sense anyway!

trust me they see a women and the £££££££ signs are rolling in their eyes...... i remember the first bloke to attempt to do this to me boy did he get a shock when i started to explain and ask question he soon changed his tune when hi found out i was a engineering tech.

i am sure there is someone close who could help (comon fellas help her out ) you could even help pay there fuel to travel if need be but under no circumstances go to VX

Money is a bit tight at the moment so I can't afford to travel anywhere.  I spent the money I kept for the car on clothes!

I was just thinking about what the mechanic said 'the job has been bodged before and if we attempted it would wouldn't be able to get the parts back together.'

Do you think this was an excuse because they didn't want to do the job?  Or do you think it could be true?  I've haven't got a clue myself either way.

Thanks for all your help.

Thanks Marie.  I used live in north Hampshire.  I have lived at Yateley and Andover.  I really like it especially Yateley as Andover is a bit isolated.  I wish I still lived there!

Still not fixed.  Does anyone know of any good garages in the north-east?
