Thanks for the support at this sad time , it is nice to see such understanding from fellow OOFers when another classic passes over.
Yes a RIP page for loved ones would be touching or are we touched because of our love for our Miggies ummm

It is with great sadness that I must report the passing of a dear friend, yes my Omega 2.5 V6 manual. I had carried out open heart surgery with great success and she ran with out a any smoking or steam but required further surgery on the chassis this was planned for further in the next year but as many members will know the immediate family were against any life saving interventions it was decided with much heart ach on my part to have to make the decision to terminate all active treatment and with palliative care in place she paced away peacefully at the beginning of May this year . It is very lonely without her but I console myself that with the help of organ donation she will help save the lives of other needy Omegas.

Never done a HG before so when my V6 went thought long and hard about it, read the guide here and decided to do it myself. Took my time and ended up doing a decoke, valve skim and some other bits whilst in there and now it runs perfectly. It may look daunt actually taking it step by step not that bad at all what a sense of satisfaction once done

Congratulations to you. I did the same on my 2.2. It took me a long time, I hit snags along the way, but in the end I reassembled everything, put in coolant and fired up. It ran, and ran without further trouble until some clown ran into the car on the M32, writing it off. Never mind, I had changed the head gasket. As you say, a satisfying thing to have done.

All that work and some idiot buggers it, very frustrating

20 odd floors gutted, a mixture of elderly residents and families and so early in the morning. The fire spreads up and cuts of the peoples escape route down I believe this will be a disaster with multiple casualties and agree three figures, so unfortunate for those involved directly and left behind.

I recently did just that job on mine for the MOT. It's not that bad to do, although there is a lot of trim to remove so as not to set the car on fire when welding.

That's where mine has gone having to do the same repair myself
