Gone where? New owner? Still around then  ::)

Bit of a pointless post  :-\

Now now ........... play nicely

Just stating what was the point?  ???  :-\

He's always keen to post negative stuff, never positive. It's a growing trend on here  :(
when i say something positive you got something to say about it ::)
you wanted something positive . well here it is i am positive i will never have a omega again . positive enough ;D ;D

good servicing and proper parts pays off in the end  :y

 :y :y :y :y - Spot on.

Took my 2.2, with 160k on the clock at the time to Austria & back. Driving wise it was just under 2,000 miles in 4 days. (there one weekend back next)

In conditions of -18, again never missed a beat.

As you say, good regular servicing, with good parts  :y

Indeed, my 2.2 runs better now, than when I bought it at 80k.

Ok, maybe get a bad-un, but that's easily put right over time.

Did consider going long way around, when going to see MrsT's parents, it's border line in fuel vs troll.

But its much quicker across the Bridge & they know it, hence the tax.

Wish I had one of those wireless payment things, did a run back to Monmouth from Londinium, cruise set at 80mph for 99.999% of the way, only braked twice, once for troll, one for roundabout to leave M4  ;D

Indeedy :y

If you've had a neglected one, it takes a fair amount of time and effort to get it good. Look at TBE, complete with its full Vauxhall history (thus, it was shagged).

The Bullet, 208k, is rock solid for reliability, though it does suffer an incontinence problem.
