« on: 26 August 2009, 18:52:34 »

Hi all
Ive finally done it...... Ive bought myself a Capri 2.8i Special & I love it
The thing is its fitted with an immobiliser that nobody seems to have heard of, & unfortuntely I need a certificate for my insurance, for proof its Thatcham cat 2,now all Ive got to go on is that its called a Preclusion Immobiliser (works on radio Frequency ) (RFID) the fob has no buttons/batteries,it was fitted May 1997 by Roy Hubbard Motors Mkt Hrbrgh,I did contact em but could'nt help me,Records don't go back that far!My local car auto leccy want £30 just to check it  & theres no guarantee it will be approved by Thatcham,
the thing is its a great immob. it fits the criteria of my insurers to a T but they need proof
Can anyone shed any light?

Thanks Lee

Hello strangers!!

For a few days now I can here a strange sort of squeaking noise coming from the bottom of the engine,
I've investigated it & it sounds like its coming from the bottom pulley,I've not done anything yet till I get some advice from you guys but I was thinking, WD40?! :-/
Oh Its had cambelt kit/water pump fitted recently so I can't see them being a problem.

« on: 19 May 2009, 09:07:06 »

I've been told this,

basically theres brown water (no anti-freeze) in the 4 plug wells,thats it!

I don't think its the head gasket, it has'nt got the tell tail signs of gasket failure, EG; mayo like substance on the dip stick/oil filler cap, no oily deposits in the expansion tank

Any ideas?

« on: 18 May 2009, 17:48:36 »

Hi its been a long time!!!!!

For the past 2-3 weeks now I've noticed a slight missfire/hesitation at 30-50 mph,it does'nt do it all the time & when it does it seems to correct itself & drive fine that day, :-/theres no engine light coming on or flashing.
It started when I filled up at my local Total petrol station, thinking if the fuel was contaminated but there was no complaints.
I've got to get to the bottom of this cos Im going to Cornwall  for my holls in 2 weeks

Any help would be great

Omega General Help / steel breather pipe

« on: 11 January 2009, 09:57:47 »

What is the easiest possible way of getting at the steel breather pipe on the bottom of the engine, then connects at the back breather, & top right side of the rocker cover with a black box.

Im going to have to do this A.S.A.P as the 'black box' is full of 'mayo'  & is the steel pipe.

Cheers

Omega General Help / help please!!!!!!!!!!!!

« on: 03 November 2008, 07:20:33 »

Im getting sick & tired with this now ................Im having to keep an eye on my 2 month old battery (changed 2nd time at VX because of this problem,so i thought!) the car starts first time but only just,if I leave it for a couple of days then it wont start at all.
Because this is the second battery it can't be another dodgy one, so its got to be something drawing the current, but I don't know what, Ive done nothing to the electrics  :'(I did a test over the weekend battery read 11.53v  it does decrease slightly & on tickover 14.27v are these normal readings?also the green light on battery is very faint.

Please help, if I can't sort this Im getting rid  

Thanks
