Issues with over revving since purchase - Infrequent but becoming more noticeable, often getting up to 4000rpm before gear change effected.
Several visits to garages has resulted in various opinions ranging from 'lack of experience in driving an Automatic' to crank/cam shaft sensor faults.
Most recent visit to have cam shaft sensor replaced (which did not fix the fault) has resulted in the car running too poorly to drive - poor acceleration due to gears not deploying, serious over revving and poor gearbox management up and down the gears.
Garage has now suggested faulty gearbox (not recognizing pressure changes to force gear change?)
Any other Omega owners familiar with similar fault?
Love my OMEGA - Loved my Carlton.
Reliable and a real pleasure to drive.
Handles well at all speed.
Acceptable running costs on longer journeys (especially motorway).
Spacious cabin and boot space.
Hi. Sounds like sticking pressure valves or faulty ecu sender or solenoid, check oil level and filter in gearbox you may have to change both, worst of all brake bands burnt out. All the best.

Try this superb owners site. I have recently acquired a 2000 2.2 auto and they have been exceptionally helpful with impeccable advice given on a variety of themes within hours of posting a query. I have also sourced cheap parts and specialists through it-invaluable!
Carsurvey is fantastic, but this Omega site is more focused to the vehicle and is used by all the Omega experts and enthusiasts hourly!
