Omega General Help / Re: Headlight adjuster replacement.
« on: 17 January 2023, 08:26:45 »
 Because it's something I don't have any experience of, and new units aren't available anymore, except for LH drive  cars only. So it's a matter of trying to work with what's available, and stealbay sellers at most times don't have a clue that they are selling units with broken adjusters for silly money, plus there's the hassle of returning them back and getting a refund. So all I'm trying to do is work with what I have, and Dr G has kindly offered to run me through a how to session, rather than me breaking something by steaming into unknown territory......I'm sort of prone to do that ::)

I hope that I'm going to have enough adjusters, and may well have a few more of the aluminium originals which I bought up after the guy who was making them died. I just need to be shown how to change them without my usual anger management, bull in a china shop, six fingered approach to fiddly stuff >:( PM incoming  :y

Just to mention the situation trying to find new adjusters....the only ones that I've found are on stealbay, at £25 a pop delivered from Belarus....yeah whatever on that one! luckily I have around a dozen, plastic and a few silicone, but have eight headlights in all that need fettling.

I'll certainly try the Stanley knife....was thinking of using clear Sika flex to reseal if that works. Still think that having my own personal oven is a nice idea, and still worth thinking about ::)

Looking for a S/hand one on market place, I've got power in the greenhouse, just bury it pots and bags of compost when not in use, sort of blend it into the back ground.....could work ;)

Unfortunately it's a life threatening situation, with SWMBO, sort of like a grenade with the pin pulled and she's holding the spoon getting ready to release it, just as I put my hand on the oven door :o  So that's a no all round. Will need to rethink :)

I know that the recognised method of separating the lens from the body, is sticking the whole thing into the oven and heating it up to soften the sealant to gain access to the broken adjuster. But just having received a red card in relation to using the oven and kitchen as a workshop ( I only want to do four) ::) bit harsh, so  that looks like a no! So the question is....has anyone either used a hair dryer or a heat gun to do the job and will it work? Now looks like I'll be  the green house for me if the advice is good. tia :y

Car Parts, bits For Sale & Wanted / Re: WANTED: V6 oil cooler
« on: 05 December 2022, 07:54:15 »
Consumable service parts are still affordable, but used parts have gone through the roof, mainly because sellers are just greedy, and previous experiences have proved that a lot of the used parts are overpriced junk! >:(

I agree, N.I is the place where Omegas go to die, to be ragged to death. I regularly get messages on Face ache, about selling my cars.....and it's a big no! I'm going to keep them until they are forced off the road by  the Greenies >:(

Thanks Nick,   I'm a bit reluctant to pull one out, as it's all looking a bit fragile, but it looks like it's going to be the only way to solve the problem. :y

The Elite has got a few insulation clips missing, and like most things Omega, I was wondering whether there possibly may be any alternative VX clips that would do the job. :-\ TIA
