Omega Electrical and Audio Help / White connector in the engine bay

« on: 15 June 2022, 07:09:20 »

I feel I should recognise this but I don't. Looks like it's from the NS of the engine bay. I'm certain I haven't destroyed it but it looks like it once was connected but has been broken for a while.

Any light throwing would be appreciated...

With the massive help of Guru Addy, have got the engine back in the bay. Sadly the combination of the weight of the engine and my idiocy, I've snapped an engine mount clean in two. So thats yet another delay! Oh well ...

Old topic but provided me with an answer.

Only question is... what's the fork-shaped spacer for? Seems an unusual design. And from the EPC there's a few thicknesses?

I got a part from this chap and he was very quick in communicating and sending it. Not as quick as if I'd gone 10 miles up the road and collected it but he wasn't up for that. Perhaps he is hideously ugly or something. Worth a message, assuming the part is the same.

Big screw extractor. Gently tap it and make sure you don't bash anything down into the sump. Then spin it out...

Hardwired dashcam and phone chargers in Mavis. Broke some trim. Repaired it. Washed it. Watched it get persisted down on.

Omega General Help / Re: Auto V6 radiator onto a manual car

« on: 05 June 2022, 18:46:04 »

Yep. 
Shouldnt be any need to blank anything off either. Nothing to leak out.

Good point well made!

Only if it hasn't been used.


New radiators come with plastic blanking plugs for the trans cooler. If you're not going to connect it to the transmission, why would you remove them?


I might still have the plugs that came with my radiator if they're of any use to you?

I've just purchased an unused but second hand rad, but thank you!

Car Parts, bits For Sale & Wanted / Free - new Sachs V6 front springs

« on: 05 June 2022, 17:18:58 »

I got these from Tunnie about a year ago as a set, I've used the rears but the fronts are as new (possibly a bit of surface rust, but they've never been fitted to a car). I don't need them so I'd rather pass on to someone who can use them.

Free to collect from Teesside.

If I blank the transmission cooler pipes off can I fit an automatic radiator to my manual moneypit?
