My Omega won't start :(
« on: 01 March 2007, 23:37:57 »
I just wanted to pop out (I'm at work).. got in the car, it fired up, and then cut clean out.

When I crank it, it's just coughing.. there is a spark.. but it won't run. Happened  all of a sudden.

I can't check much at the mo, because A it's dark, and B I'm meant to be working.

I was hoping nobody would ask. 70 litres of the crap is in the tank.

Bugger!!  :(

From the news it sounds like the bad batch was a week or so ago, could that account for the crap MPG?

I agree 20 is ridiculous in a 2L.

Does it feel like its running ok?

Is it 2L or 2.5?  Your thingy (on the left says 2.5)

Either way 20 is very low unless you have lead shoes

2.0 at the moment mate, automatic.

Even driving with a feather foot... 22mpg...

Have you done your own test on this James?  I mean could the computer be lying?

It almost seems too coincidental that suddenly tesco's are pumping out dodgy fuel, you're getting shabby MPG and now its quit on you altogether... I sincerely hope its not that mate!
