thankyou for that explanation . its a pity because the 2.5 changes nice and so do the nice early 180 boxes in other gm's albeit purely hydraulic .its my only issue with the car realy but wont be changing it !.
it is purely an observation and was saying it would be nice if it changed differently thats all.
i have no issues with power thou,mine is plenty powerfull enough for me .dont think ive ever floored it once ,so plenty of reserve if needed.thats not what driving is about to me

someone else must be driving my car when im not around then because its not getting its thinking from me !.i did change the gearbox ecu years ago and the other was worse !.
i rarely go above 3000 rpm and its first cold change seems to want to go higher. thought it was a charecteristic of the later cars .my brothers 2.5 changes at much lower revs if you drive it gently.
its a pity you cant alter them like on the old 3 speed 180 box with the vacuum modulator.
at work we have a 17 plate navara auto that has excellent change points.if you drive it gently you can get it in 4th by 25mph ish !

thats a shame as it would've been good to fit a different one to my 2.6 to get rid of the high change points.

Wow .not so fast .lol..
You need to start initially confirming that 12v is getting to the starter solenoid small wire .idealy with a test bulb then proceed from there .
Don't let it beat you .

Omega General Help / Re: Rear arch repair advice.

« on: 21 February 2020, 22:46:41 »

if not and someone who has contacts in a panel supplier should with a bit of patience find something with a similar profile. b series senator springs to mind but they may be harder to find anyway.
there will be many a wheelarch with similar curve radius surely ?

Have a closer look at the shape

I thought people had used old front wings cut up for the profile in the past ,or am i thinking senator 

i would agree there dave yes. they certainly look a similar curve but not tried a template up to it to test. if replacement arches are still available then thats not a problem anyway and seeing as front wings rarely rust anyway it would seem a shame to buy one just to cut up.

no offence or critisism of anyone intended and if the owner is happy with the price and whoever ends up doin the job then all is fine.
im out of touch with garage charges these days as i do all my own work just thought it seemed excessive for an hour or so job and a pair of gaskets .
