Indeed

Was going to post this earlier, but somehow didn't seem quite right having read AA's post

On that note, whilst we're all stuffing away, spare a thought for absent friends and family.

the OP has a March 2002 first registered,omega CD 2.6 V6 auto from previous posts 
so probably a typo ,not 2.4   

Very fat fingers then

In which case, from the symptoms, the switch needs replacing.

Omega General Help / Re: scuttle leak into spark plug wells/bores, water and oil: further advice please

« on: 25 December 2019, 06:17:29 »

Thanks Doctor Gollum and Enceladus

ref:

Remove your plate and foam. The scuttle wasn't built with sealant, so non should be used.

if i just take off the scuttle plate and then remove the foam, wont that just mean that the water's route to the spark plug wells is going to be easier? is there no way of stopping the water getting into the foam in the first place?

Cheers

RDS

Water is supposed to drain there, it's how it is designed with that infill section of bulkhead, presumably to aid assembly in the factory...

A different person thought that adding foam to the bulkhead would make the car more refined by helping absorb engine noise... With no thought to the fact that it is a primary water route.

Removing the foam doesn't stop the water, but it does stop it being collected where it can drip onto the coil pack/Dis pack/plug well... Unable to sit in the foam, the water safely drains down the bulkhead away from any ignition electricals

The scuttle isn't assembled using sealant, ergo, it shouldn't be sealed.

Friend of mine decided he was gay a few years ago,
he is still a mate, nothing changed,

his "friend" in the pub one night told everyone, if a bloke told his mates his girlfriend liked it up the bum he would be a local hero, whats the difference?

as long as I dont have to join in or watch I`m fine with it.
he is cooking my xmas dinner tommorow,

I imagine that if a man wears a blindfold (and keeps his hands to himself) he would be hard pressed tell if he was 'balls deep' inside a man or a woman.

I can ask?

Whilst smothering the sprouts in gravy perhaps...

Sorry to here that

Definitely a lifetime to be celebrated though, so a lot of comfort to be drawn from that.

We did all ours on Friday to avoid the nonsense and I then spent the weekend in the pub.

Now off to work for the night

Omega General Help / Re: Cam cover gasket replacement further advice

« on: 23 December 2019, 22:44:00 »

At risk of repeating myself, only apply sealant to the corners of the front cam bearing caps. 

Overhauling the lifters could be done, but you will need to change the cam belt to do so. Even then, by the very nature of their position and design, they will always drain down if left any time...

Omega General Help / Re: Xenon Headlight ECU / Tech 2

« on: 23 December 2019, 17:22:48 »

Don't rule out the sensors though as they are both on the left of the vehicle and take a kicking in this weather with all the puddles.

Also are the motors correctly fitted to the new units

Behind the right hand headlight, above the suspension pump (if fitted).

Access isn't quite a wing off job, but it helps

Queer is quite acceptable in the gay community.

Community is an interesting choice of word.

At least they're not easily offended 

What, like you're average footballer?

Or the arse hole at VH1 that decided to edit out the word 'faggot' from the Pogues classic yet allowed Harry Belafonte to describe the baby Jesus as 'white, black, brown or yellow'

I mean, WTF, really...
