Just spotted this on the old yootoob..VERY A/S.....very Scottish too

LHD 2.4I

Weird. I like watched that last night. Glad we don't have smell-o-vision, that omega looked hanging.

[bezzabsa]

must admit when he opened the door I smelt it.....have owned a few that looked like that PMSL..

surprisingly I reckon a £5 immigrant wash n hoover would improve that No end!!

I got that chap in my recommends too. He's bloody knowledgeable if you watch the rest of his videos, casually dropping engines in and out of Cavaliers like it's nothing. He mentions he's the editor of Truck and Driver magazine.

I WANT THIS CAR!!!!

 

super rare to still have the 2.4 in it. They usually get fitted in mantas!

 

someone tag diplomat2.6!!!!!

he does have a thing for Vauxhalls...just watched him cobble together a Bitza engine to slap in his white Cavvy....

I'd forgot how easy the old SOHC were to work on..

I fear the fate of this Omega has already been made. 
 

a guy I know through the manta club has received delivery of his 2.4 engine curtesy of  M9 Recovery. 
 

i think it’s over folks. Flags at half mast for this one. 😢

[sutty2006]

Yup. It’s dead. Just been speaking to said manta club mate. The engine he had has come out of that omega. Apparently it was advertised whole, before it got broke. I never saw it advertised, else I might have tried to save it. What a shame. 
 

engines going in a manta 400 replica. Never did understand why they put the 2.4 in, as the XE is lighter and produced more HP standard.

I’ve been sucked into watching quite a few of his videos. Quite enjoying them. I recognise quite a few of the places he is driving about as he is localish. 

[sloth]

he used to be editor of total vauxhall. very smart chap is Dougie.  had some lovely cars over the years.

 

once driven forever smitten on insta if anyones interested.
