Is this a forum car? Plate looks familiar 

[Broomies Mate]

Right, where shall we start? 

Coolant is low, possibly due to thermostat change?

Looks like OSF Wing has had paint, judging by the machine polish compound left behind (engine bay pic).




What?  It wouldn't be OOF if we didn't notice the little things!

odometer looks like 108,804 in the photo bit odd as text says that was in october 2013

KrabiOne and he copied and pasted the ad from when he bought it...

Was a troublesome car iirc from his posts at the time...

That number plate is familiar, can't remember why though.......may have been a for sale linky previously 

[Dan282]

As suspected... Below copied from Krabi_ones post history...

No mention of gearbox or suspension problems in advert iirc, so as ever, Caveat Emptor.

That's what i thought , everyone seams replaced box in the end with that code.
The i found one for £80 + £90 postage (northern irleand) is that fair price ?

but first i think i will change the oil, check if there is anything wrong and use that transmision fix, there is lots of positive comments about that product.
well I have as well p0420 few times now about catalytic converter - the next thing to do need check suspension because is not right , puling to the one side or another and i saw in paperwork that there is very small leak from drive shaft. apart from this everything works ok ... and there is vey small amout of rust , so rust wise is very good..

Omega General Help / Oil leak on Crankshaft Pulley
« on: 18 April 2015, 22:06:00 »
Hi guys , my another problem with the car .. oil leak
from crankshaft pulley...
the only thing what do I need to order to have everything ready to replace it ?

I just found one of old post on old website

The oil pump is on the front face of the block on the V6, the crankshaft oil seal presses into it and the lower cambelt idler is bolted to it.

To change the seal you have to remove the cambelt so need a locking & timing kit. You then st the crank at 60 deg. before tdc (to protect the valves) and remove the cambelt crank sprocket by undoing the centre bolt but to do this you must use a long bar bolted to the sprocket to stop the engine turning, do not try any other method or you will shear the keyway inside of the sprocket. You will need a breaker bar plus extension pipe on the bolt plus about a metre bar bolted to the sprocket. You have to be careful to stop the crank turning or you will be replacing bent valves as well.
Once the sprocket is off the seal levers out easily, then pull off the spacer and turn it around so the new seal has fresh metal to run on and press in the new seal. You should use a new sprocket bolt as it is a stretch bolt. Tightening torque is something like 250nm + 60 deg.
Then replace the cambelt etc.

or somebody can recommend any place around norfolk/suffolk where i can do it,
still is the option do it by self.... hmm

he bought this car not long time ago , looks like he don't want spend any more money on old girl
