Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: Irmscher fog light bulbs.
« on: Yesterday at 18:01:00 »Going back quite a number of years now, the tester at the little village garage i usedOne thing that is mandatory ,yet I doubt ever gets tested .....
"speedometer is working correctly and gives an accurate reading"
obviously speedos are NEVER tested on AUDIs, Golf GTIs (or golfs pretending to be GTI, with Ebay badges,) etc
A few years back ... maybe 10/13..... I presented an Astra G for test with a none working speedo/odometer.
The car passed without comment! (eventually)
always got me to stay in the car when he hoisted it up. He got me to press peddles and wriggle the steering wheel about a bit.Doubt we allowed near the test bay now are we?
Thats exactly what happens when I take cars for MOT at my local garage, although the car isnt hoisted up. The tester is in a pit under it.

I kind of hope your right, as I dread Starmer and co having a big majority when they win.

I think they are a spent force. They will lose a lot of seats to Labour come the election.

Meanwhile............Wee Jimmy Krankies husband has now been charged with pocketing a very large sum of SNP donations. 
I imagine she is already plotting to divorce him and then reinvent herself as a "survivor" of a coercive cruel husband, and then take her rightful place on the throne of Scotland in a couple of years or so.

General Car Chat / Re: I thnk it's time to find a new home for one of my Omega's :(
« on: 15 April 2024, 22:11:23 »Hoping to move house at some point this year and parking four cars just isn't going to be feasible. I also know that the Silver Omega just doesn't get used and is really an ornament. Plan is to pop it in for an MOT then take the 6 pot brakes off it and return to standard setup along with the standard wheels and steering wheel, grill etc.
Once I get around to sorting that out i'll advertise it on here first, not that I think anyone would want to pay what I want for it.
I've had this car 15 Years, can't believe it!
A mate in Norn Irn was recently asking me if I knew of a nice V6 Omega for sale. Must be silver because the RUC ones were Silver and him being a retired member, is a bit sentimental about them in silver.
If you could let me know when it comes up for sale, I will mention it to him.
Cheers.
