The bleed valve from the caliper. I chewed it up getting it out.

Would any body have the exact length of bleed valve that I am looking for? Found different lengths in M8x1.25.
Found this one. Is it correct size length of threads? Just the length of threads on the one from the caliper are 10mm. Overall length is 38mm. Only the last 3mm of thread was inside the bleed hole. Does this sound like the proper factory fitted one? Reason asking is that the outer piston seal is in good condition, but the actual piston is pitted.

Thanks for any help.

Andy B. No need to apologise. I took it the way that you meant, as fun. 
Yep conversations, can be quite fun at times. But I look at it, that at least I can still do stuff unlike some of the patients, in the stroke ward. You keep on having a sense of humour, it is the only way to get through each day, of this crazy world.

None taken. I have a warped sense of humour. Just ask GastronomicKleptomaniac. Caught him out a few times, but he is getting to know me better now.

Andy B.
I am not one of those people, who get upset. When someone says something. I am old school everyone has the right, to ask questions. And answer or correct if they can. I am still learning stuff, after the stroke, so please keep doing what you are doing now.

Andy B. It certainly was seized. No wander the brake was stuck solid.

Thanks for that GastronomicKleptomaniac. The piston took ages to come out. The bleed valves are worn, so will replace them.

Would anyone know, the size and threads of the bleed valves for the LUCAS 2.6 front brakes? I have got the piston out, and the bore is just dirty so I am going to clean it up. Then get a rebuild kit, with new pistons and seals.
Thanks for any help.

Hi
I am sure it is somewhere but, I cann't find the post about front brake calipers. Passenger side the piston has frozen. Undid the hose and it made no difference, it had still locked the disc. I cann't see the reference number on mine.
Would these calipers fit my 2002 2.6 Auto saloon?

Omega General Help / Re: Steering is light
« on: 20 February 2022, 17:23:59 »
Thanks DG for the suggestions.
Hi cam.in.head
It is alot lighter, it can be turned with a pinky. Even stood still. Before all the work, it was a joy to drive, about middle of the road. Not heavy where you were fighting the steering wheel to turn. And not that light that you had to keep hold of the steering wheel tight, like I am having to do now. Would the steering servotronic lose its memory if the battery was off, the car for a long time? Mine was off for a long time.
Will be sorting out Geometry. And see how it goes. Just wandered as the wifes old 1995 estate, is nice to drive steering wise.
Thanks again for all the help.

Omega General Help / Steering is light
« on: 20 February 2022, 09:09:40 »
Hi
I was wandering if anyone can help? The steering on my Omega, seems to be light. The only way I can describe it, is as if I am towing a trailer that is pulling the back end down, which lifts the front up. I have replaced all the suspension parts on the front. Front coils and Shocks, with new bushes etc for the top. Also changed steering idler, with new Lemforder. Also had to change both track rods and the middle steering link. All these parts were Lemforder. These were done for as failed on MOT. Changed back suspension aswell, when I did front shocks and coils. I had a basic front tracking done, as the wheel alignment was way out, after doing all the front work. It will be going for a full geometry setup, once can get to bottom of steering. The car does drive straight now, even with hands lightly on steering wheel. Before all this GastronomicKleptomaniac, drove it and commented on how nice it was to drive. Steering fluid is new and too level. The one steering pipe across the front of the car, leaked near the compression joint, drivers side, so dumped all the old fluid. I fixed the connection with a new joint, filled up power steering reservoir and bled all air out of system. Tyre pressures are correct, also they are same ones that were on the car, before the work. And I had no problems with steering lightness.
Is there anything I can check, that could be causing the lightness.
Thanks in advance for any help.
