Omega General Help / oil leak again

« on: 30 March 2011, 11:03:59 »

Morning just been out to check my cars levels and noticed once again i have a oil leak coming out of the breather pipes at the front.(i think thats what there called) I have had the plemnum taken off and cleaned twice now in the last 3 months. When the mechanic did it the last time he said their was a lot of water in the bottom of the breather pipes(that silver thing at the bottom) He said the engine could be running over pressureised. Just a couple of things that help somebody diagnose my fault no water loss that i can see. havent needed to top up. my back box blew up on the m40 the other day.I dont know if any of this helps but i no nothing about car engines.. Sorry for the long story but trying to give as much details at poss.

Omega General Help / temp rising

« on: 15 March 2011, 12:19:48 »

quick question my temp gauge has started to go higher than normal it has always sat at 85 no matter whether in traffic or not but it has now started to go upto 90 before it cools down again. I know this is still in normal range but i was thinking i read a thread that it could be a fuse that has blown. could somebody tell me what fuse this could be and where it is..

Omega General Help / Wishbones

« on: 18 January 2011, 11:45:15 »

I took my car to the garage today just told them issue with steering/ suspension. After 2 hours checking the brakes steering front and back bushes subframe springs shocks. He came back and said it was the left front wishbone. That is the second pair of aftermarket wishbones i have fitted. I asked him if he could fit vx bushes to the wishbones on there and he said he did not want to incase didnt fit. He surgested getting a secondhand vx pair and putting in new vx bushes. My question is this a good idea and where can i get a pair or should i get another pair of aftermarket ones and if so which ones. cheers Paul.

Hi anyone in my area able to come to me and do my cam gaskets + breathers again as not done right last time. I would now like to give it to somebody who knows the cars rather than keep paying out all the time. The reason asking to come to me is because car still has steering issues. Cheers paul

Omega General Help / driving issues

« on: 22 December 2010, 13:26:46 »

Hi I read on here that you should really only fit vx wishbones as the rest dont last. Question is it possible to get a pair of second hand ones then put new vx bushes in :-? I can not afford new vx ones. Also how do i know if my steering idler is going. Iam asking this because when iam driving i have the steering wheel straight one minute the next minute i need to pull the steering wheel to the left to keep it in a straight line. I have spent money tring to get my garage to fix these problems but it just seems to be getting worse. Iam pulling my hair out because iam not happy in driving it more than about 10 miles so i could not get it to WIM to get a full check. Sorry about all of this but i was hopping somebody could give me some advice. Ps I have changed the wishbones twice now. got them from allparts.

According to the handbook you are not aloud to start the engine and let it tick over while iam cleaning off the snow. I dont know why :-? and if i do will it cause problems. :-?
