Omega General Help / Re: Problem with my V6 timing.
« on: 29 April 2021, 15:28:43 »
What mileage are the tensioners? Any weakness or stiction there may have caused this.  :-\
Even if the compression check is OK, I would be very reluctant to run the engine until I knew, and had resolved, the cause of the timing slip.  ???

That Citroen BX could be an interesting second car 8)

I had one for a while (apropos of bugger all, it was ex Johnnie Morris, TV animal guy), it was a very nice car, very comfortable, went very well. Foolishly ‘upgraded’ to an XJ6, which was crap.  :(

Putting off going to Croydon.  Managed to avoid it for about 5 years, but know in the next few weeks my luck is definately gonna run out.

I think we know who H is.(pronounced haitch according to several BBC announcers)

Ive got some I've had for years, even size, and don't recall them ever being odd sized. Memory not good so doesn't mean they weren't. I bought a 'genuine' pair of 505's with Levi label from eBay last October for £47.32 + £9.50 postage. Came from USA.

Isn't TB scrapping one with car attached?

I am watching this series, and the incident in the last episode certainly bore a strong similarity to the Lawrence case, so it was certainly implying racism in the police at the time of the incident, which may or may not have been in period with Lawrence. Does that mean the programme was 'playing the race card'?  Hmmm, I don't think so, merely highlighting the 'institutional racism' inherent in the police at the time.(Macpherson report 1999) Let us hope this is no longer the case. :-\

Found out the Omega not too keen on ticking over-at least until it's warmed up a bit,possibly stale fuel/needs a good blast[it has been stood biggest part of a year]was going to run it round on the private land in front of the lock up only to find the n/s rear caliper had seized solid so need to see about sourcing one of those as well as the new battery it needs as I robbed that off it for the 960 when the battery on that died of old age.
Wynns fuel treatment and some decent fuel.

Re the rear calipers, non vented are readily available new, (stamped 40), but vented aren't (stamped 42).

iirc, yours is a 3.0 so should have non vented ;)

Ideally change them as a pair.

Or strip, clean, and reseal the existing.

R16TL, one of only 2 new cars I’ve ever bought. Lovely comfortable car, twin choke Weber. Unfortunately tin worm killed it, but it was otherwise utterly reliable, and I don’t recall changing anything other than standard items.

Very impressive James, how many Omegas have you owned? No need to disappear, as said, not many of us have Omegas now, I sold my last one a few months ago due to not being used enough.
Thanks for the help you gave me in the past.

I was reading last week about an endoscopy pill. You swallow a small 'sub' with a camera in it and get kitted out with the equipment that picks up it's transmissions. During the night it passes down through your oesophagus to your stomach, recording all the while, then through your intestines and out.
Next day you go back and the images are downloaded.

 There is apparently a 3 hour utube clip of this to watch!🙈

One new series starting on Tuesday I believe which I actually enjoy watching The Yorkshire Vet, really envy folk who are fortunate enough to live in that area of the country , yes I do realise that the thread was about Saturday TV but I believe like most that it is total rubbish.

I lived near Thirsk for two years and it was very pleasant, but the coldest winters I’ve ever encountered, including the North of Scotland. It was the winds that cut across the North Yorkshire plain. Nice beer there as well.

We are bingeing on Dexter. Not even a decent foreign drama on BBC4
There's loads on if you can force yourself away from bbc 1 and itv.

Not here.  My telly became unwatchable as I gradually lost the signal from the local main transmitter probably due to trees growing up, so I swivelled my aerial round to the repeater transmitter and lost most of the Freeview channels, so I only have about 15 channels of shite to choose from!  ::)

And yes I'm too tight to pay for 45789 channels of Sky shite TV!  ;D

Me too, so I leeched onto my daughter’s Sky using Sky Go to watch the Masters, apart from the poor quality of the coverage, I was pissed off to find that you still have to put up with ads, despite whatever fee you are paying. I cannot understand anyone paying for it. There is enough crap TV on freesat and freeview channels.
