The craic is: its crap. Dont expect anything like SE performance, as its massively de-tuned. (I assume that youre talking about the diesel, because the V6 isnt a BMW engine?)

Omegas are nice enough mate but after the beemer i was expecting more of the same and it was a right let down. still they are a right lot cheaper than Beemers mine had been thrapped I think but it was poor. its a bit early to be kicking off isnt it?

The Omegas with this engine remind me of the 405 mi16..... Donar cars
The engines are noisey when cold, I think its the timing chain mainly....
I have a BM 325tds and I still like driving it after 2 years, My boss has an Omega and claimed it was really fast (for an old diesel), then he sold it and bought a 525tds and realised the difference in performance.
If the mileage is fairly sensible and the engine ok, don't scrap it a landy/range rover garage will have the engine, my local one buys cars as a whole to rip the engines out for Range Rovers. if look after the do clock up the miles well, mines on 260k without showing signs of dying yet, if the omega engines as restricted they will be less stressed so will go on longer if looked after.

Love it, in a BMW its wonderful, the minute it gets put in something else it may as well be an old Perkins taxi engine, even detuned it should still be pretty much the same engine.
Love the manly banter over an old Vauxhall, well done lads !

thanks, at last there appears someone talking sense
after someone wrote off my car tonight, the omega will have to be my daily driver
stuffed myself full of painkillers and drank 6 cans to curb the pain
