I know nothing about vauxhalls but Omegas seem cheap. How about swapping across from one of those, you should be able to get everything from the donor? Not connected to the seller but there is this for example: Omega for saleHow much power are you looking at or is reliability and mpg more important? |

If your looking for something Vauxhall, rwd and readily available omega is a good bet as said.
Range of petrol and Diesel engines and I know there is countless pages on the internet stating that ecotec engines are not as good as the red tops but they are easier to get hold of.
I've had couple of cars with the ecotecs - petrol calibra and diesel vectra which had the omega engine and can't fault either of them for everyday use and reliability.
