Bugger - 2 weeks later and Cyclone Gabrielle arrived

Don't know what the final toll is. At least 4 people I work with have been flooded out. Two cannot be contacted.

Omega General Help / Re: breather bridge to plenum seal 90467543
« on: 04 February 2023, 02:24:04 »
Just find an o-ring that fits (to prevent air being drawn into the plenum)

The crotch strap is merely 'nice to have' to minimise air movement between the two halves of the inlet plenum - I don't imagine that any 20+ year old Omega still has a complete seal or that it makes any difference to the smooth running of the engine.

Don't add any mastic, do everything you can to keep the breathers clear.....

Urgh... Swept down a storm drain....  :-\
Maybe he shrunk in the wash  :-\ or it was Stuart Littles smaller brother  :-\

I think I have remarkable patience with idiots, to be honest.  A lifetime of working in a corporate environment that always thinks bringing in uni levers is a great idea. Media studies lot and all....
Do you ghost write for BOFH ? https://www.theregister.com/2022/11/18/bofh_2022_episode_22/?td=keepreading

That's like going back to the the days of stagecoaches where they had to go from coaching inn to coaching inn to change horses.  ::)

Progress!  :)


Even more recently than that, petrol used to be sold in cans from chemist shops. And it wasn't a big seller.


Pre WW1, both petrol and electric cars were equally crap and inconvenient. WW1 dramatically accelerated engine development, but not battery tech, so we now consider ICE to be normal.
around the same time it was common for people to take their lead acid wireless accumulators to the wireless shop because they weren't able to charge them at home.

This bit needs to point the other way... ....

Cut it off & re-weld it the other way ....  ::)
In all seriousness this is more likely to produce something usable.

Better still - start with a clean/straight piece of bar

Does the 2.0 have the same cam position sensor issues that the 2.2 has?

I've been to this one at Coventry airport

https://en-gb.facebook.com/Dcdiner15/

And one in Slovakia too, but that's now closed (fallen apart!).
I would rather fly on that DC6 than Ryanair.
Would you settle for DC3 with your big mac?

« on: 02 December 2022, 07:48:51 »
Oh, also gained an orange light on the dash, grrrr ;D

When the wheels stop spinning the light should go out.  ;)  ……… or is that a yellow light, it’s been so long I’ve forgotten.  :-\
It's the blue light you need to worry about.
High beam?

Does your iphone have Bluetooth?

I thought Apple decided not to support it :-\

You can get WiFi OBD dongles but as pointed out by Nick W you need a decent App to do anything with it.

Scanmyopel works well on Android - don't know if they have bothered  to write an App for Apple  :-\

Is it their Xmas pressie?  If so, you need to wait for the big fat bloke to come down the chimney.


He'll be waiting a long time , I don't travel as far as Auckland to do roofing or chimney repairs   :D
Bishop Auckland isn't too far up the M1 :D
26 hours via A380 .....

Oops! I think I've just pressed the button on a 3D printer. :o
You know it makes sense :)

What did you go for?

An Ender 3 Pro.
Last week SWMBO suggested that we should look at getting a 3D printer ¨for the children¨  ::)

I went and collected an Ender 3 S1 Pro this morning. Haven been allowed to open it yet..............
