General Car Chat / Car runs well again after jacking back end up!
« on: 25 August 2009, 15:39:09 »
I have got so used to our Omega running like a tractor and being gutless despite endless months of fruitless efforts to track down the cause. No paperclip codes.
So imagine my surprise when it started working "properly" again after I replaced the rear discs, pads and handbreak shoes. Must have been the action of jacking the back end up that has "cleared" the problem.
Actually I think it is a blocked Cat and am buying two off a forum member so it will be good to see if it clears the problem up permanently! I can hear the ceramic bit loose in the RH side Cat. (not the heatshield). Maybe the jacking up freed it a bit.
