Can anyone recommend a garage in the Midlands that could fit a full set of springs and set up the geometry afterwards.

Omega General Help / Kyb front springs questions
« on: 06 October 2022, 21:37:56 »
Just got a new set of kyb front springs. According to the kyb site the longer spring (RC1540) is fitted to the left (passenger side) but on another post on this site it says that the longer spring is right (drivers side).
Please can anyone give me the correct fitting before I pay someone to fit them.
Thanks.

Omega General Help / Re: Wanted urgent, V6 coolent transfer pipe
« on: 30 January 2022, 18:56:45 »
I have managed to find a s/h one, so the urgency has reduced.😃
But I'm thing, get a new one from the US anyway, as next time I need to do a thermostat change I will probably need one anyway😈 But at around £70 with import tax, they are not cheap.

Omega General Help / Wanted urgent, V6 coolent transfer pipe
« on: 29 January 2022, 14:16:18 »
I know I should have expected it to happen, but as it was off only a few months ago, I thought it would be OK.
Changing thermostat and the transfer pipe has broken.
Hoping someone can help me out as the only ones I can find are in the USA, with at least a month delivery.
The car is my every day transport so need it fixing asap.
Thanks for any help.

« on: 21 May 2021, 17:39:41 »
My bad, should have been 200psi.
Actual readings are
1 0psi, 3 0psi, 5 130psi,
2 200psi, 4 180psi, 6 175psi.
Anyway, already started stiping it apart, intake and exhaust are off, and should have the head off tonight .

Well not good news I'm afraid. Finally found time to look at the manta again, fitted new Cam belt kit and timed it all up, not easy with the engine in the car,😈 turned her over and the good news is more tapping. So next was to do a compression test, cyls 2,4,6 all around 300psi, cyls 1&2 zero, f all🤢 and number 6 under 50 psi. So it looks like I'm going to have to lift the head and fit a spare one I have. Could really do without this, got so much on at the moment.
