Need to buy a cheap towcar for my Bailey Pageant, have been kindly informed an omega diesel could be good. Any body got any info on them please.

Mark, I cannot comment on the diesel version, but I have had three petrol-engined Omegas, all automatics and all have performed admirably as towcars. The Omega is one of those cars which seems to depreciate in value very rapidly, which is tough if you buy new, but for those of us looking out for secondhand bargains, it is really good news - a comfortable, high-spec, reliable car for a very modest price!

Hi Mark

I have had two omega's both diesels, one manual one auto both wonderful tow cars, the new model diesel does not come in auto spec only manual I pull a 1400 kg van with mine and have no problems at all. If your looking for one try ebat there are some cheap ones on there.

Regards.

I have a Bailey Pageant Loire 525 and tow with an Omega 2.2CD Petrol Manual. Terrific tow car. I've had it converted to run on LPG as a dual fuel vehicle. No problem with towing when in LPG and do not notice the difference when towing in petrol mode - except for leaving me with more money in my pocket. Go for it, you will not be dissapointed.

I bought my Omega 2.5TD saloon off ebay. I'm very pleased with it! Tows our Elddis Odyssey a treat and still manages about 40-45 mpg solo. I'll almost certainly buy another to replace this one when her time comes!
