no mate-When a Omega gets MOT - its a challenge to pass-like a right of passage 

I had an omega. I paid £1250 for it........and £1800 in repairs the first year.

Not too far off from what I've just done.

I did something similar a couple of years ago, only I paid more for the car, and had spent quite a while looking.......

I have bought 3 others that were fine, just the normal stuff, what annoyed me was I was looking for a new Mig, I did everything by the book in my search and thought I had bought the perfect car, and it wasn't............

Bought swmbo Mig a year ago, after tracking down where the main dealer had sent a px, paid good money but needed one quickly and it has been fine; due a cam belt but I know that and will be done in a couple of weeks time

if i spend a £100 on a mot i will be happy . because were can you get a good car for that price

I think every car i have bought its needed a couple of hundred £ to get back into shape , normal wear and tare items tyres exhaust ect then servicing , so if you get something really cheap its still going to cost you 500 notes by the time your finished

It s funny but I cannot remember the last time I had a car fail an MOT. That includes 4 Omegas. Dads green Omega we had for many many years and it never failed.
I have probably just jinxed myself as we have a 2000 Astra in for MOT at end of month 

Is that the one with three alloys and second hand steelie? 

As it happens yes it is. Between our immediate family There are 7 Astra's and One Omega. Just bought youngest son a 1998 MK4 Astra ex Jersey car with 38,000 miles on it. I know many of you think a low mileage can be worse than a high mileage but hey ho. I even think it has the original rear tyres !!!! some kind of Michelin X which I though they stopped making years ago. Still won't be on the road until fully serviced and checked by me

Renault megane passes MOT! It's not due till next week but it will pass. This, of course, is nothing unusual, but you do seem to get excited about it on here.

FAIL!

my miggy sailed through the other week as it always does mind you when i brought it i did pay that again to get it up to fitness money i wont see on the value if i sell it but drizzle did do a good job spot on now.

the only down side was the phycological damage, fascination with pink, gay bars and being shagged by the odd ugly pig. Thanks to some hormone pills and support from wifey I am better now, pink seat covers have gone and i have stopped wearing the wifes thongs
