Mrs. Newbie
« on: 06 February 2008, 10:20:27 »
Hi all!  :y
I`ve been forum lurker for long enough; as a keen 'amateur' I`ve benefited greatly from 'problem-fix' posts and 'how-to`s' and `thought it`s about time I registered and join-in.
I`m on my second Omega estate; started off with a 2.0 C.D and graduated to a 2.5 CDX auto...
Being very tall, I love the generous size of Omegas and as I have three large border collies dogs I really value the huge cargo area and 'rain shadow' created by the tailgate......especially valuable seeing as I do much of my driving in rainy North Wales!
I have only one gripe with the 2.5: it`s ground clearance is rather poor and on my badly rutted (farm-field) driveway, the undercarriage can be heard scraping on the centre of driveway-ridge....I have fitted slightly higher profile Vredstein M&S tyres all`round, which has helped a little bit, but I still drive dead-slow on the driveway lest I leave a trail of vital exhaust/driveline 'bits'.
I do considerable motorway-mileage P/A and so a cruise control upgrade/mod. is on the cards as soon as I can locate a stalk and actuator at the right price.  
Well, that`s a bit about me....`pleased to be here.
Kind regards,
Debs.  :)

"Hello" and welcome :)

I often travel down some farm lanes such as you describe, and also fear for various "dangly" bits .. :)

I have found that moving slightly to one side, when able, can put one set of wheels on or around the higher central ground, thus increasing the clearance on the expensive bits !!  :)

Welcome Debs :)

Consider getting brand new stalk, as older ones can become problematic (tends to flick on full beam unexpectedly)
