Anything front wheel drive I'd guess. Especially shitron belingo (?) van. Zero access as the drivers wing is half an inch away from the puley and tensioner.

French shart!

Yup but same engine is in my LDV pilot and a piece of pish to do as it is located correctly inline and not incorrectly transversely

They're doing it a lot around here, I went to a RTC a while ago a pretty serious one too. It happened about 23:30 hours, we rock up to see carnage everywhere. I just start to deal with it when all of a sudden guess what mid-night................... All the street lights go out!!!  Now not only panic for the people involved in it, we can't see what we're doing or how to get the trapped persons out! A call to the council and 90 mins later some jobsworth turns up, oh I don't know about turning them on, it'll need an electrician 

Sure people don't think things through.....& don't get me started on so called 'Smart Motorways'

Whats one of those then. 

Oh they are coming to a motorway near you soon enough 

They put new gantrys up with new LED powered signals that vary the speed limit when traffic is heavy i.e, reducing it to 50mph (AND having speed cameras to enforce said limit on the new gantry). They can also open the hard shoulder to 'ease congestion'  Only they ain't thought about what happens if there's an almighty smash whilst 3 lanes & hard shoulder are in use!!! How are we supposed to get to it when the emergency lane is being used as a running lane???

Oh and as a bonus ! when traffic is light and there is no use for any of the gadgetery, the cameras are set at 70mph and will get you if you go above!!! 

Oh ok I know now and have seen them, I wonder what d**head decided that the breakdown or service lane could be used for a main lane  obviously some idiot that doesn't drive and lives in London and uses the busses

Omega General Help / Re: Remapping now available at All German Parts

« on: 28 April 2015, 16:49:07 »

Thanks Jason.

Any thoughts on pricing for the 3.2 omega?

I guess the 2.6 would be similar cost wise...?

And for the older cable throttle cars there might be interest for the 2.5 and 3.0 as well generally speaking.

Would be interested if it can be done to the 3.2.
