« on: 07 April 2016, 21:56:20 »

Miggy sold today and will be my last one.. apart from a 6 month period in 2004 when i had a V6 Vectra the omega has been the only car ive owned sibce 2002 ..  I will miss it but fancied a change..  call it a mid life thing... i would like to thank those people that have helped me with the issues ive had ove the years namely elite pete and jimbob.. and those people i never met but posted advice to me..
 I do have a good pair of elite rear shocks in my shed i initially thought where past their best but i was mistaken as theres 2009 year stickers on them.. happy to let them go to an OOF member for a reasonable price (£50?) Plus postage whatever thats gonna cost...

General Car Chat / leak following thermostat change

« on: 29 February 2016, 13:03:07 »

As title says i have a leak following thermostat change although now leaking at the rear.. however after following the 'how to" guide i moved the power steering bottle out the way for better access to the b*****d bolt and i now have fluid dripping from underaide of bellhousing.. fluid looks same colour as coolant.. so have i nipped a power steering pipe or sods law have i now got a other coolant leak?

General Car Chat / well f**k me sideways

« on: 14 February 2016, 09:10:35 »

I believe ive just changed my rear shocks for no reason at all... the clonking and knocking ive been hearing at the rear suspension turns out i was missing the 2 steel tubes in the top shock rubber mount. So the shocks where flooping about like a dick in a bucket. The ones i took off are the self levelers too

Omega General Help / self leveling shocks

« on: 11 February 2016, 07:12:02 »

Are going to be replaced with standard shocks. So question is which fuse or relay do i need to pull out ( providing they dont operate other functions) or what else do i need to do to disconect the leveling pump.. also one last thing. Am i better using GM shocks to replace them or other makes?

« on: 11 January 2016, 10:58:37 »

If the cloth strip around the glass is no more than a draft excluder (as it surely cant be water tight?) And the drain holes are clear why am i getting a wet head and arse? ..

Omega General Help / whats that " beeping"

« on: 07 October 2015, 04:38:01 »

I hear when I take my key out? 4 or 5 beeps in quick succession before I've even got out the car and locked it.. Impossible to describe the pitch of the noise in words but sounds like a bird chirping I spose....
