Word men. Hope u r all good.
2.5 v6. Owned this car for many years now. Know it like the back of my hand. When on motorway it sits exactly at 90 degrees. Maybe touch under.
Round town and traffic etc. it creeps up to 95. Fans kick in. Down to 85. It then creeps up to 95. Fans cut in. And repeat.
Now a few times around town it’s creeping up to 105. Fans cut in and it doesn’t go in the red.
Obviously the fans work. However am i right that there are two can switches.. one for standard fan speed and one for omg about to explode speed. I’m guessing the standard speed one is playing up.
So 2 questions… 1.) which is the fan switch that I need to replace and 2.) is there any other possibilities?
No coolant loss or anything odd other than this 👍

All the plenum and inlet removal is fine. The only issue is trying to lift up the wiring harness enough to get cam cover in and at the same time guiding the half moons in. Well that was my experience anyway 😃👍

Hi guys. I need LH and RH track rods. In the past I’ve purchased the entire assemblies from ATP but I can’t find them. Anyone got a little no for these? Cheers men

Omega General Help / Re: V6 head removal
« on: 23 April 2022, 22:25:20 »With that list of jobs I would be considering looking around for a good Omega that doesn't need all that work.
The only way of getting one that doesn't need the usual full suspension rebuild or a load of often delayed engine work is to find a car that recently had it done by someone who knows what they're doing and can prove both. Then you need to ensure that the car isn't hiding a lot of hard to fix rot. That all means that such cars are very hard to find. Fixing a car whose history you know is actually the simple, straightfoward, quick and cheapest option
That’s my idea mate. Just try n keep the old bus going.
I am going to do oil pressure test and compression checks too just before I start just to see if there’s anything wrong elsewhere 👍
