Hello all.
Well its been a long time coming, but I am officially here now as a Vauxhall Omega owner, having previously been registered as a Carlton Owner / lurker.
After many (14) years of owning 4 Carltons (well, 3 + a one week donor) I have been forced to move on as my last remaining Dippy sadly reached the end of its long highway.
My Omega is an 02 plate reddy-purple saloon 2.2 CD with 78k on the clock, FSH, bought for £1300 and have just spent some pennies on my reliable local garage giving it a full service, timing belt / tensioners / water pump (Gates kit), cam sensor (genuine) and rocker cover gasket - oh, and a new back box and 12 month MOT.
She runs fine and no more service or engine lights popping up intermittently - touch wood!
Let's see if she lives up to the reputation of my previously owned Carltons for reliability. I've given her the best possible start as a member of our "family" as our Carlton was. (Well, I'm calling it "The Lodger" at the moment. It has to earn the respect that the Carltons had earned through their reliability for us).
So, "Hello all!" and am looking forward to the group postings !
