According to a letter, delivered through the post, to my wife's school yesterday, COVID doesn't exist at all. People are dying of 'normal' stuff and the government invented the virus because........I forget now. ;D
Stop Brexit maybe  ::) :)

Omega General Help / Re: V6 oil cooler
« on: 30 April 2020, 22:53:50 »
Thanks guys
Any links that you can put up ( if they’re allowed )
Something that you’ve used
Just want to make sure it’s the right stuff as it’s not something I want I redo
Sorry can't help with links, but s a rough guide VX Black Sealent is for Rubber or Plastic to Metal, VX Grey is for Metal to Metal, both have Temperature Resistance.

So in the absence of VX Grey, you looking for Metal to Metal Sealent a with high Temp.

Omega General Help / Re: After market ECU
« on: 30 April 2020, 19:57:06 »
Why not just use an ECU and Trans Chip from a Cavalier / Vectra V6, there Air Intake setup was a lot more simplier due to lack of space under the hood, you may even be able to fit there intake system depending on Year.

Can't remember if they did a Veccy 3.0 I know they did a 3.2, but a 2.5 ECU should work fine on a 3.0 and vice versa.
 
If it's for a Hot Rod and your not too worried about losing low end torgue you could lose the Ram Flaps as they will all be open anyway at full RPM then knock up an Intake system based on that scenario.

Correct wording is Attachment as in attach something to your email but I suspect at our age something along the lines of Paperclip or Inserting something will suffice   :)

Anyway it's your own bloody fault for using something with the words Gmail, Chrome or Google in the same sentence  ::)

The chances of being on a 'plane with one bomb on board is many millions to one.

The chances of being on a 'plane with two bombs on board is many billions to one.

So if/when the airlines ever start flying again you'll be much safer from terrorism if you take your own bomb with you   ::)
If your 'time is up' then your 'time is up' so there's nothing you can do about it, it's your turn in the queue.

               ....but what if it's the Pilots turn.  :-\

Last time I bought a packet of KP Salted Peanuts there was an EU Directive Warning on the Pack that said "May contain Nuts"

Talking of Nuts do we get our Marathon Chocolate Bar back now.

« on: 22 December 2019, 00:12:41 »
I have had many ex police senators and omegas 3.0 /3.2 manual and auto with LSD. On acquisition from the BCA or WOMA auctions they always performed 100% and were actually a nice tight diff that locked up good and early. I usually changed the diff oil and refilled with gm diff oil and tube of gm friction modifier at 100k and in every case the were performing really well many miles later.
Best way to acquire one now is to buy an mot failed ex police omega for pennies and strip it.
I agree with everything youve just said there.  :y

Apart from the last sentence.  :-X

There was a time when you couldnt give away Ex Plod Omega,s, now there like Rocking Horse Poo.  ;)

Edit: and there worth a fair bit now considering the fitments.

Just thought I,d through that last bit in case I decide to sell any of mine.  ;D

Omega General Help / Re: Alarm going off
« on: 19 December 2019, 14:59:14 »
Ok thanks, all was quiet last night thank goodness and I will spend some time tinkering over the festive period to make it safe.
As said just unplug the Bonnet Sensor, Bin the Power Sounder asap.  :y

As a temp measure, assuming the car is parked somewhere secure, ish, Lock the Drivers Door by pushing the button down on the Drivers Door via the rear Door, that will lock the Car (not Dead Locked) and stop the Alarm from being activated until you get it sorted.   ;)

Just to throw doubt into proceedings, just have a google and research what shape a 20+ year old LSD is likely to be in, even on low miles, versus what you are intending to gain from the fitting of such. I seem to recall reading a rather in depth look at, amongst others, an Omega LSD from a top OEM (Prodrive, someone like that), and they tested it to discover it had lost 50% of its effectiveness after 80k.

I'm sure my figures are well off, but it was something like the above.

I'm biased in as much as I've never ran a car with one, but is it 'pub bragging rights', or are you building  a track day car, or something else?
In my experience, most of the LSD's from Ex Plod Cars were good, assuming you could get the Car relatively quickly from the Force and hasn't been round the Block a few times with 2nd Hand Owners.

Or sadly where some Muppet from Vauxhalls or A N Other Garage topped up the LSD's with Standard Diff Oil and killed them off.

Zirk used to have a couple, but I haven't noticed him online for quite a while.
Edit. He was online 30th November. Not as long as I thought. Might be worth dropping him a PM.
Yea Im on Leave of Absence at the moment due to being the Sadest Dick on the Forum for the last couple of Years.  :(

Just checked and Sir Tigger QC is currently catching Me up in second place with 200 Days, happy days.  ;D
