Like I said, I realise things go wrong with cars and they need taking care of. I have owned plenty of cars with a few Tea Breaks under their belt!

Zero cost motoring is not what I expected. However, all this stuff going wrong in a very short period of time and less than 2000 miles seemed unreasonable to me as I have had cars with twice the mileage with half the problems straight off the bat.

I'm sure everybody know's what I mean when you just feel as though you can't trust it anymore and just waiting for the next thing to go wrong when you turn the key.

However, it is encouraging seeing it is not just me and others out there have had a similar experience. It is comforting to see people saying that once the work is done, Omega's seem to be thought of as reliable enough.

I have decided to keep with it depending on what the MOT in May kicks up. If it fails badly, there may be another thread soon starting with "anybody want an MOT failure Omega?"

So, Cheers.

Matt, just in case it doesn't get through the annual prodding could you do me a favour, and buy this and fit it before you stick it on here as a MoT failure?

I have done 20k in my 4 pot. Cam sensor was faulty when I bought it so changed that.
Everything apart from the drivers heated seat works perfectly, cars runs like new.  :)
The worst thing about these cars is the suspension parts!!!! have replaced most of them :(
