Omega General Help / Looking for a relay.

« on: 05 October 2021, 15:27:00 »

I'm a bit stuck, looking for an Omron relay, part number 92181835. It's not for the Omega, but for the VXR8 boot release....the only ones I can find are in China and it's going to be three weeks delivery. I really need it quicker, as the car is due to go to a dealer this weekend to be sold. Any pointers as to where I might find one, would be much appreciated. TIA

Have you considered using a set of Victor Reinz gaskets? apparently standard on Mercs and iirc around £13.00 per set incl '0' rings. I'm hoarding sets of both makes....but all cars are oil tight...but not sure wether I've just tempted fate.

Unfortunately...one of my metal pipes has failed under test, so that set is going off to BC for repair/refurb. But also would like to get another set for the spares shed due to still having the three cars

General Discussion Area / Re: Lanoguard

Lanolin extracted underbody and marine treatments have been used in the U.S for decades. Lanoguard is a pukka product, but it's not a one off treatment, as it's supposed to be redone once a year, and not where it will  be exposed to sunlight. I've used Bilt Hamber on two of the Omegas and the VXR8 was done professionally with the same. Omega No3 was going to get the BH treatment and being that it's rust free I thought about the Lanoguard, but the downside is that it'll have to be done every year and I might just not fancy topping it up year on year.....may well put it into Rustbusters and be done with it .

Omega Gallery / Re: who has this

« on: 22 February 2021, 11:54:30 »

The red Omegas were attached to the Diplomatic Protection Group (DPG ) and they came about after various foreign embassies complained about the fact that they needed to actually see the cars attached to the group and to reassure the diplomats of their presence.... hence the colour red.
The car in the picture belongs to a serving SO19 instructor, and I'm in touch with him, but as he's not an OOF member, I won't name him. hopefully this clears up the mystery of the red Omegas.

Al's sending me a couple, but I'm going to take all the bolts out on both seats and take a look at them.....just to see wether they are bodged. Can't see that, but the cars interior was changed way back before I got it and I think just for arguments sake it needs to be bottomed out. So thanks for your advice and if I get stuck I'll give you a shout.

Checked them, all OK,but it was the MOT man who found the missing one last week.....he was not happy   and this is  all because the welder couldn't be arsed to put the seat back correctly. So as I pointed out to Nick, I've found a company up in Aylesbury that stock M8 Torx cap screws in 5mm increments right up to 50mm in stainless. Still a bit unsure which will be the right size ..perhaps the 35 and 40mm
