Yeh i'm watching that one while I wait to see if Insurance will pay for the fitting.  :y

Was wondering if the windscreen fitters over the road from Serek would remove the remnants of the old one and fit this one....

Car Parts, bits For Sale & Wanted / Wanted: Rear Saloon window

Been informed that Autoglass cannot obtain a rear screen from any source..... So if anyone has an Omega Saloon they are breaking and there is any chance they can get the rear screen out without damaging it i'd be interested.....

Use liqui moly stuff for mine, the 10/40 one

https://www.liqui-moly.com/en/service/oil-guide.html?owwSource=fahrzeugsuche#oww:/api/v2/oww/101/GBR/ENG/1/6f3f7f2bf87074f1/671aba8239c93258/31f0ca164c36964af632609c1f027bc8/

I use the Liqui Moly Top Tec 4600 in the BMW and Liqui Moly Special Tec V in the Volvo, They are good quality oils but I try to purchase them when there are discounts are available from places like https://worldoflubricant.co.uk/ or if there are better deals from the likes of eBay (Arnold Clark's eBay store sells it cheaper than most at the moment).

There might be a spare not too far from you :-\

Only question is how/why did it break...

There's one less than four foot away from it..... but its fitted in the silver car!
;D

I meant an actual spares car rather than another of your spare cars :D

Just gone through the insurance to be honest. Pilkingtons just need to make one now!

However the system on newer cars seem to set by default to 'activated' mode whenever the ignition has been off, which would do my tree in.
It's like being a pilot, I guess. Going through the cockpit drill before setting off - lane assist off, engine stop / start off, auto hold on..... :D

You can thank some selfish arseholes in Wolsburg for that!

Since the emissions scandal, the legislation was changed such that the car has to default to the modes used during approvals at every ignition cycle. That means driving modes, any ADAS functions, safety functions etc. Just wait until you get a 24MY car which badgers you every time there is a speed limit change or you go 1mph over the speed limit.....you quickly learn the to knock that one off at every ignition cycle  :y

Coded the stupid start stop malarky off mine, Only kicks in if I have it in Eco Plus mode..... Which I never do!

Well I was supposed to be taking the black car for a Cambelt at SOS but found the rear screen smashed this morning :(
Great  :( Life can be very tedious sometimes.
Yep, but you have no choice but to get on with it so may as well just shrug it off, pay the £75 excess and move onto the next task hoping it doesn't cost you any money!  :y

Thanks, I've gone through the same thought process as you, Manoil kept appearing in my searches based on spec / price but this independent supplier seems a better alternative and also I like the idea of supporting a small business.

20L ordered :)

Think i'll stick with buying from a supplier in this Country to be honest, happy to buy from parts from Germany which aren't available here but Oil seems a bit overkill

So now the supply of GM 10W40 has, errrr, dried up, i've been looking for a cost effective alternative.

Kevin had mentioned a supplier on another thread and looking on their site it appears this would meet the spec:-

https://www.smithandallan.com/product/smith-allan-momentum-ss-10w-40-engine-oil-4141

Tempted to buy 20L at that price and see how it goes. Any thoughts or anyone used this before?

My E Class had it, but I never used it…………..

Don’t know what your E Class was like for parallel self parking but the BMW reverses in with one hell of a tight rake. It goes in at a steep angle and swings the front bumper in far closer to the vehicle in front than I’m happy with.  :o  That’s probably why I never use it, but in fairness it can park itself in a fairly tight space.  :)

Yeh agree with that, my 5 series does the same and it's a bit of a heart stopping moment!

Much is mentioned of the GM black sealant but according to those who worked at Ellesmere Port assembling the V6's, Loctite 5910 was used.
