Faults:

Idling valve went about a month after I have bought the car.

Handbrake shoes linings have fallen off

Rear pads linings (GM branded) have separated from metal plates.

Passenger door central locking works occassionaly.

Engine is idling erratically (again).

Small stove-away compartment on the right hand side of the dashboard is opening while you drive.

General Comments:

Very comfortable ride although poor quality of the small things is very annoying.

Surprisingly economical (up to 30 mpg).

Loads of space.

Front A-pillar is obstructing drivers view.

Faults:

Blind in parcel shelf snapped off arms.

Rear drivers side seat not heating up. Dealer fixed seat, but now the front driver's seat is not heating.

No radio codes, or Navigation C.D. Dealer found and supplied.

Sun-roof not working. Again dealer fixed on warranty.

General Comments:

Very happy with performance for such a big car.

Needs timing belt change. Garage will charge £110.

Is it me or is this car thirsty?

I have read in earlier posts of people having trouble, with the front heated seats. Is this a common fault?

The seats in my Omega are the same as those fitted in the MV6.

They are very very comfortable, and can see me doing a lot of mileage, with no (backside) problems.

Seems to have a lot of exhaust gases.

Due for the 80,000 mile service.

Counting the pennies already!

Black is a major headache keeping clean.

Power seems to come in at 3000RPM.

A little late for my taste, but when it comes, LOOK OUT!

Faults:

Side airbag sensor needed replacing at a cost of about £150.

Ignition leads & ignition coil had to be replaced at the 120,000 mile main dealer service. Total cost of service about £925.

Engine management light keeps coming on and the car cuts out and won't restart. Eventually restarts but only travels for a short distance before stopping again. A dirty crankcase sensor was thought to be the problem and cleaned. A few days later, the same again. Main dealer decided it was the alternator this time and replaced it at a cost of £340. Two days later, the same problem. The car was towed by the RAC to the garage again and I'm awaiting their call... any ideas?

General Comments:

Drives and handles very well for such a large car.

Not as frugal as I'd hoped, but the performance and comfort make up for that.

Excellent Bose sound system.

Handy on the motorway as some people seem to think it's an unmarked police car!

I've been told that Omegas are usually very reliable and it is not common to be stranded in the middle of nowhere three times in as many months.
