How long have you had your Omega?
« on: 05 July 2016, 05:58:22 »
Was just curious  ::), how long members have had their omega for, I am on my second omega after the first pre-facelift got written off through no fault of my own in 2003. Current facelift I have had almost 13 years.

My first one was an Omega A GSi flavour and I had that 18 months before the tin worm got the better of the rear chassis legs.

My second was the MV6 manual which I had for just over five years, rusting rear arches and a faulty abs ECU saw the end of that one.

In between was a Senator, bought for £200 with 248k on the clock, I did the timing chains, guides, tensioners and head gasket, ran it for four years and scrapped it with 352k on it, again due to tin worm, and got £150 for it. The engine was still sweet and didn`t burn much oil at all.

Had the first one for 5 years and the current 3.2 for almost 13 years. Both purchased when they were around nine months old.

Five and a half years so far. All the recent Volvo chat has been interesting, as a V70 is the only car that could replace it.
