Another vote here for a proper remapping, and not use tuning boxes.

Great to see you on here again Tony H

Omega General Help / Re: Micksgarage and cheap wishbones

« on: 16 March 2024, 20:57:21 »

I just use to refurb wishbones, set of poly bushes, new ball joints, and new rubber bushes, they will last longer than standard arms.

Exactly this

The XJ is a handsome brute to my eyes....

Yes, but you're very special, and believe the Signum is a special car....

Well, its improved its looks.

I wonder how badly stained the drivers seat was....

Not as bad as an old man's jag 

I do have to concur - most of my motor is quite attractive looking....   ....but it's arse, WTF was that Scottish idiot Callum thinking?

Washed a ton of bird crap off the Omega. One wish in this world is for the neighbours tree to die...

Isn't that why copper nails were invented?

Hooked up the Maxiscan 509, which was kindly given to me by an OOF member.

No codes  either stored or pending.

Can that do gearbox, as its just a OBDII scanner...

And what codes are in the engine and gearbox?

No codes or warning lights.....the car just got very hot after a while at 50 MPH, which is 5000 rpm in second gear.

If the gearbox was in limp, which sounds like it was if it just picked 1 gear, there will be codes in the gearbox.

Personally I found the resin ones to be poor, I bought these and fitted them, no worse than the originals and should last the life of the car now, certainly been OK in one of mine for the last 3 years.

Yup, look better than resin ones, good find

It's NOT the 10th till Sunday 
unless you mean another PREVIOUS month or year   

Those were the good ol' days, when you'd get it MOT'd only so you could buy the tax from the PO....

TBH, if the issue you had was a hydro mechanical issue, you're pissing in a force 9 anyway.  Nothing will fix it.  If it was an electronic issue, that needs resolving.

*BUT* gearbox servicing is part of the car's servicing requirements, so needs doing anyway, unless you think the box is shagged.
