Omega General Help / Re: I hope this works

Yes, eight bolts, all in the same place, the coil pack cut outs allow easier plug access and allow any condensation to evaporate out as the engine warms up...

Gaskets fit as well.

Remember that the 3.0 was sold elsewhere as a Dbw engine...

A 205/65/15 wheel and tyre will fit along with 3 235/45/17s but its just wrong. Personally I would rather fit the correct ones

The Jag isn't insured so I've just been getting quotes for short term insurance. I thought I would get a months insurance so I could take it for quotes to get the work done. The best one so far is £291 It only cost me £254.80 for a full year fully comp

You could always be kind to him and "lend" him a really substantial padlock for his lock-up - just to make sure that novillain attempts to steal your car or any of his belonings in there?
He may well want to rush over to you and thank you for your consideration......

Ron.

It has been suggested that once I've removed the car I fill the locks to his lock up with super glue

If you did report it to the police Pete, be careful now... Years ago I let a business partner take one of the company cars to go to an exhibition in Germany. 2 days after his due return date, with no word from him, I reported it to the police but was told. 'As it was taken with your permission we cannot report it as stolen'.. He returned later that day. The next day I was visiting a customer using that car. The police turned up and arrested me for nicking it..... 

I didn't in the end. Even though I spent most of yesterday driving around Cheshire/Shropshire and him not returning my calls I thought I would wait to see if I could get in the lock up today

I took half a day off today and went to his lock up. The jag was there but what a mess. The cream leather on the drivers seat is filthy, it stinks of cigarette smoke and there's empty fag packets and tobacco packs on the floors. The rear wing and half way up the C pillar has been sanded with an orbital sander and he's caught the boot lid and drivers side rear door. I don't know how many miles he's added but its obvious he's been using it. I still can't get in touch with him but luckily the owner of the lock up was there and so were the keys. It's going to cost me a fair few quid to put right

I know he's been quiet Kevin that's why he offered to do it when he did and mates rates. I'm going to head over to the lock up now, I think his landlady lives on site so I'll have a word with her.

I've taken a note of the mileage when I dropped it off and only one key and remote. I've said I don't care if he's not done the work, I'll take the £50 or paint he bought and take the car somewhere else.

I decided to sell my jag because I've done less than 500 miles in the last 8 months. The jag is really low mileage and the only thing letting it down is a little bit of lacquer peel on the rear wing so I decided to get that sorted before I sell it. Anyway, I bumped into an old friend who i hadnt seen for about 20 years, has a little body shop about 20 miles away from where I live and he said he would do it for me mates rates. In the meantime I have another friend who said he wanted my car if I still had it when he came off his holidays. The jag went off with £50 to go towards materials 5 weeks ago and all I've had are excuses off the bloke doing the job, he's even said his landlady of his garage wants to buy it. I called him yesterday and managed to speak to him and the latest excuse is his misses has dumped him and he needs a little time to sort his head out so I said just give me the keys and I'll take the car and it's one less headache. I've text him this morning to say I'm going to collect the car today but as yet he hasn't replied plus I only know where his garage is and not where he lives. What would you do next if it was your car? TIA
