I used to have a 98 galant v6 manual and it was very good on fuel(compared to my mig) but sadly was too light for towing our caravan,it was a lovely car though,I still miss it

james,while your doing the cam belt pay close attention to the crank pulley as they are prone to breaking up(outer coming away from inner).I have fitted three in the last couple of months to customers vehicles

I don't know anything about the toilet issue as I have never been inside one (figuratively speaking 
) but with the carver heater over a lay up crap from the flue can drop down on the burner and short the igniter out,if you strip it down and blowgun the crud away it should work

the van I am towing is 1520 max weight,I presume the stock auto box cooling is up to task or should I consider an extra cooler

My caravan isn't quite as heavy as yours, but I towed in 30odd Celcius in France last year with no problems at all
thanks for that,I will see how it goes
I had mine serviced last year by a man who knows his auto boxes... The dealers all take their cars to him
He said that the Omega setup is fine as standard unless you're planning to tow across a dessert
happy days
I'm good to go then 8-)

QuoteQuoteQuoteQuoteYeah, got one on mine, think I'll take it off though - got no use for it at all. They don't look good
Agreed JC, I would rather shop in Asda @ noon on xmas eve than have a bloody tow bar. Yukkkkk
Depends why you have an Omega ... I bought mine SPECIFICALLY to tow ... The car was dropped off to have the bar fitted on the way home...
Each to their own ...
+1 thats why I bought mine as well,first job was hitch and wiring,first tow of 1500kg van next week

I have a Snap-on jump pack which is 4-5 years old and will still start most things,it was a tad expensive though but I suppose good value against the cheap ones which are dead in 12 months
