Why do we like them??
« on: 10 September 2007, 23:09:50 »

I got to thinking today (I had 2 minutes at work to let my mind drift), what is it about the Omega that we all like so much, you have the Pre-facelift, Facelift and the Estates, so there is a difference, but then they are all the same (if you get my drift).

So come on, what is it?

O.K they have their downsides but you get an awful lot of "bang for your bucks"especially in Elite form and spares are cheap when you compare them with the cars that they were pitched against namely Beemers and Mercs they are cheap to run :y

I went out three and a half years ago determined to buy an Omega. I had remembered a tv show with Quentin Wilson who waxed lyrical about what good value they were as a second hand buy.

Three and a half years later, I really can't imagine owning another car. Luxury (I know I only have a CD), Size, Comfort, Autobox, Rear Wheel Drive, Good Looks and Great Value For Money. Where else could I get so much car for so little money?

We've got 2.

Big, Comfy, Fast, Feel Safe, Great Load luggers, Loads of room for child seats, esp with a 6ft driver!
Also 'a bit different'  most the family cars these days seem to be Zafira's etc, Meegas can be more practical :)
And so cheap for what they are.  Not quite so cheap to run as they do like to drink the fuel, insurance not to bad though.

I think that they have a presents in the road and have a look as if to say DON,T THINK ABOUT IT. They are also very nice place to be it. Loved them from when i was at school. I had not seen anything like it before.   :)

Agree - im using the estate this week, therefore my Black MV6 is behind our wrought Iron gates at home - its sitting nose towards the gates and frankly it looks like a caged beast  8-)....

RANT = ON

Well I don't like mine at the moment! be happier when

a) I get the remaining two wheel bolts drilled off
b) I sort out the rather emissions lamp coming on when there's nothing wrong with the CAT's (probably sensors now)

RANT = OFF

VXL

I have that  happen to mine as well eml on for a few days and off for weeks.Had it check on Tech told that it is a heater malfuction on the 2nd  02  sensor of the 1st bank just after the cat. This was repalced by a non vaux 02 sensor and is still putting the eml on sometimes. I think i will have to get a Vaux one on the next time it happens. :-[  cost is £98 per senser.
Car runs fine and the emissions are good to had them checked at the same time.

hope this may be of some help

SP

Cheers for that, interesting that we've both got 3.2's with possibly the same problem, (my current thinking is that one of the sensors is fine most of the time but is getting stuck occasionally??? Trouble is that the codes relate to both sides..........) What sort of mileage was yours when the problem started...?

Thanks

Hi VXL

It,s been on and off for the past few months the car is a 123k now. It not on now keeping an eye on things for now. One way i get to know whice one it as was to have the test with the Tech done with the car runing this showed which one was working out of the range. If that makes sence.I also think that one of mine is stuck now and them.

Hope it help

Thanks
