Vauxhall Omega 2.5 V6 CD Manual Facelift Estate
*****************************************************************************************************************************************************************
Owned 2011 to Present (Updated Summer 2016)
February 2013 - Failed MOT on track rod end and number plate lamp. This ebay bargain has done me well
without much attention, although it could do with a oil change. There are signs of rust on the rear wheelarches,
a few scratches and dents, so I have to consider how much should be spent on it. I replaced the cam cover seals
on both banks of the V6 engine, as there had been a noticable whiff of burnt oil from the exhaust manifolds on occasions.
August 2015 - Fitted new Mintex brake discs and pads all round. She's still providing a comfortable
and roomy service with 142,000 miles on the clock, and spends 5 days a week resting on the driveway.
Summer 2016 - Car still running well. Handbrake cable is sticking, so will require attention.

May 2014 - A Discovery 4X4 reversed into the front nearside wing whilst I was parked. Luckily the
insurance company authorised the repairs, and the ebay bargain now has a new silver wing. MOT test
carried out after 6 months to move date to August (easier to work on the car in the Summer).
