I just wanted to say a big thank you on the forum to Fin and Dave for all their hard work on my Omega this weekend. Considering I only initially wanted to borrow the engine timing tools for a belt change, they were good enough to invite me up and give me a hand with the job. The omega is now sporting a new timing belt and tensioner kit and water pump. During the operation they noticed that my breathers were gunked up, so swiftly set to work removing the plenum and cleaning those out too, to say nothing of diagnosing the problem with my secondary air injection.
The car is now clearly more responsive on the takeup, but to put the icing on the cake - it's now doing about 4 more Mpg!!
I put £50 in the tank before I left Cheltenham (it was on the red light). I drove to Nottingham, back to Cheltenham, and then on to Cardiff, and this morning back to Cheltenham. Easily did 435 miles on £50.
Overall a much smoother car, without the worry of cambelt failure!
Cheers guys, a very productive weenend [smiley=beer.gif]
See you at Santa Pod!
