Okay, I had a Vectra that had only done 50K+ at 9 years old, it threw a cam belt and I got hit by a £1300 repair bill. The next year it started doing just what your Omega is doing, it was EM computer(engine management). One day it would run as sweet as a nut, next day, it chugged. Got rid of it!
My son had a 5 year old Vectra 2.5 at the same time, same mileage and same problems. That was why, much as I regret having to, I got a Ford. Although, I am tempted to get a Zafira SRI:)) |
Did you get the Vectra repaired? Its up for sale now anyway. |
Nope, I wasn't prepared to chuck more money at it as it was only worth £600. Took £300 from an Ebay buyer and cut my loses. My son traded his one in for a Ford C-Max. |
Hmm thing is i've got mine up for sale for £2295 |
You're getting the battery check tomorrow? Might be worth chucking on a new battery just to shift it. Just say it has been stood for a while and needs a good run? Maybe that's what it needs:)) About 200 miles from your house to the new buyers house:) |
