"Very good secondhand bargain"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Eats front tyres

heated front seat shorted out and burnt front seat

started to use oil now

torque converter starting to slip in third gears

I've put two sets of glow plugs in, in last fourteen months

front brake calipers make a noise wwhen front pads are low

sometimes overheats only on hilly terain.

General comments?

Nice comfortable car good looking abit loose in the wet

lots of room boot space 4 bodies big

dosent lok out of place with other executive cars.

The tracking must be checked with a weight in the car. As per manufacturers instruction. This prevents excessive tyre wear.

Owned Omega cdx 2.5 td 20 months. 80k when bought now 135k. Had s/hand eng. @ 110k valve disintegrated into cylinder. on original eng runs lumpy intermittently at idle both eng. turbo changed 130k pumping oil out!. various diesel leaks, runs out of fuel below 20litres not pumping from tank when fuel low. still drinks oil & lots of smoke serviced regularly. Disapointed with BMW enines was told they wre the best diesel since sliced bread. Not even great performance or economy. Have company Mercedes s class 3.2 diesel fantastic!
