Trying to remember....

2 coil pacs due to loose windscreen seal and scuttle. £70 each local factors. Genuine bosch
1 lambda sensor. To keep lpg happy, probably ok on petrol. £50 genuine bosch
1 stat. £?
1 wiper rod. £18 iirc
1 set cam cover seals £90? On tc
2 wheel bearings £50 each fag all German.
1 set poly bushes front £50
2 sets gm vertical bushes front £14 each on tc
2 x set up at wim £70 each
1 pair rear donut bushes ( most people wouldn't of bothered with these tbh) £48 iirc
1 glove box latch failure £pence
1 pair drop links £38 on tc
2 dowty washers on rad sensors. Couple of quid
1 Steering box (again, some wouldn't bother)
1 Steering idler £90 on tc
1 eternal exhaust £110 iirc
1 alternator refurbed via Mr Wood. 
There's been a shed loads of other work but that's a preference thing on my part, not a failure thing on the cars part. Only 110k though.


Heated seat and fuse 14 faults with the seats dont count as the seats aren't original to the car.

That's a lot of money for repairs, but probably about right for an omega.

Feel free to do the maths, v cost of a new/newer car.

Mine cost 3k. + parts only.

Triggers post reminded me of Exhaust. Added for Esta.

Damn. And Alternator.

Opps forgot the alternator and ABS/ECU which was repaired by BBA Reman.
