Hello from Norfolk looking at Omega Estates
« on: 10 December 2010, 10:20:16 »
Hi, i'm Mark and some of you may know me as i run the Vauxhall Opel Drivers Club (VODC). I currently drive a Vauxhall Cavalier TD as my daily and have a Cavalier petrol that gets used for the shows.

I need an estate car now with all the stuff I carry about for the club etc so am looking to get an Omega Estate and have been looking at the 2.5TD ones.

Is there anything to watch with Omega's in general or with this engine? as I know very little about these cars.

I know this is most likely in the wrong section so appologies for that!

I look forward to looking around the site and joining in more in the future.

All the best
Mark

Hi Mark, Welcome to the OOF..  ;)

Under-steer is when the front of the car hits the wall, and over-steer is when the rear of the car hits the wall.
Power is how fast you hit the wall and torque is how much of the wall you take with you.
