General Discussion Area / Ouch! My shoulder

« on: 20 August 2012, 20:08:33 »

 .... just had a steroid injection in my shoulder, & something other other injected to try to break up 'calcium deposits' in there too! 

As the anesthetic is wearing off it's starting to hurt  .................. alcohol intake is being increased to compensate!

and your parents are the very people you're supposed to feel safe with. Double standards too, because Dad he lived the western life to the full. 

They've both got what they fully deserved.

General Discussion Area / omegaowners.com sticker

« on: 15 July 2012, 20:25:00 »

I saw one in the rear window of a green prefacelift estate (N reg?) around the A38 jct of the M5 this afternoon as I was on my way north going home. I did flash, but I was towing with the Merc. 
Does it still belong to anyone here?

France for us next year. We're in a very very wet field in Devon, today it's either rained or pissed it down. So much for summer!

General Car Chat / Would you complain?

« on: 26 June 2012, 22:28:00 »

Due to a lack of time I got a local tow bar 'specialist' to replace the 12N socket on my 'new' car with a 13 pin. Had a quick look in the boot area at what they'd done and straight off could see that 2 earths (zero volts for the pedants) had been made my drilling the body & using a self tapper!  There was a proper 6mm stud within reach of the 2 wires!! Unfortunately though can't un-drill the hole.
If you want a job doing, do it yourself!

General Car Chat / my new car

« on: 29 May 2012, 23:38:36 »

Well, after three weeks since I left my deposit, I'm still waiting to be able to collect it. After Swansea took their time in sorting out the old tax on the new disc, some numpty at MB sent it back to the previous owner .............. still no V5 so I can't tax it so can't drive it.

Omega General Help / MAF meters

« on: 20 May 2012, 14:17:51 »

Does anyone know whether there's a difference between the MAF on a 2.5 & a 3.0 

Pretty sure mine's goosed, but want to swap with Capt Zok's 2.5 to try.

« on: 20 May 2012, 11:24:44 »

I bought a push bike via the Cycle-to-work scheme .......... it will be used for cycling to work - just not by me! 
Anyway, among the crappy universal tools that came with it is this ................



I've even looked through the destruction manual & can't find any reference to it  Anyone?
