My omega, she's a pig but she'll do the job.
Powersteering is tempremental, drinks alot of water. Thermostat's taken out and diff's welded. NCT till sometime next year (i forget when exactly, a good few months though).

Other than that she's grand. €350 takes her.

2.0 16v engine, i thought the head might be gone but i thought when the HG went she'd be overheating all the time and she doesn't at all (unless you go for a few too many rings :rolleyes:), drove her as is for 2 months and never bothered looking into it as i was looking for an e30. Just as soon as the temp gauge starts rising, have to shut her off and check if she needs more water.
She's a 98. NCT there's at least 3 months, i think there's a fair bit more than that but i'm not 100% sure so won't go getting your hopes up lol
Powersteering, i think the pump's just on it's way out but i was never arsed changing it.

Oh yeah, spare wheels too.

Was down at stonies, there's vids somewhere of it doing the business. She will go out in the dry on a roundabout with a bit of a weight shift and a clutch kick. Nice and easy in the wet though.
