Omega General Help / Re: Head gasket?
« on: 22 March 2024, 20:40:32 »
MarkDTM did explain how/why it fails without mixing oil. Something to do with where the oil and coolant galleries are in the engine. It's one of the few engines where it will run indefinitely as long as you keep it topped up with water.

If you see the state of the filter in the video, it's a wonder the car ran so well 
MoT is just a partial retest so will be a formality

Omega General Help / Re: 3.2 Elite - Surface rust in bores

If you can see the scratches, then they're there. Slap it back together and call it done. Once it's back running down a compression check... as long as all 6 are within 10% of each other and it starts and runs ok then that's job jobbed.
Worst case it's another old Omega with a tired engine

Had two lower arms fitted ready for the MoT retest tomorrow. Front end now feels much more secure
And changed the oil and filter as the car was due one... Last serviced in 2022, but barely 7k ago. Seeing the state of the filter and the colour of the oil I probably should have done it when I bought it

Pay and claim is usually how that works. Although Jizz are the worst airline in Europe... almost impressive given the competition.
Never knew SIA operated that as a route. I know we're not the cheapest option but we have a lot of customers use us to get to/from Europe and the US via T5 and clearly with good reason apparently.

General Discussion Area / Careless driving FFS
« on: 22 March 2024, 09:31:31 »
Read summat tother day that actually boiled my piss 
Bicyclists and motorbicyclists are actively encouraged to swerve around anything in the road that might make them fall off regardless of the fact that the reason they haven't spotted said anything is because they're either speeding/tailgating/filtering (whatever the fruck that's supposed to be...) and drivers are taught to expect all of the above and make allowances for all of it at the same time.
Yet...
If a car drivers even thinks to make such an avoiding manoeuvre they risk being prosecuted for careless driving with a ridiculous fine and potentially lose their licence. Presumably if you crash as a result of ripping a wheel off in a pothole the size of Birmingham whilst trying to avoid splatting a filtering motorbicyclist you get charged with careless driving for the whole thing.
I understand that being unlicensed and uninsured vermin, bicyclists are basically untouchable, but having presumably passed some sort of test aren't motorbicyclists held to the same account as any other driver In which case what's good for the goose and all that.

Quite prolific on boats. Either leave the tank 100% full or completely dry if leaving for a length of time. Moisture and oxygen are the two primary ingredients that diesel bug requires to form and the higher the percentage of biodiesel the more likely it is to form.

I can only assume the stupid handbrake pedal confuddles their drivers. Not seen a single Merc get over 25mph in NSL all day, FFS.

Given the various flavours of people at work it's not surprising that the subject pops up, but by and large the majority of people will call a spade a spade (or worse) without blinking and think that the whole thing is a load of 'dangle berries'... however there's a minority of kids that are so up their own arses entitled and think the world will end because someone deigns to think and speak differently to their misguided self centeredness. These are the motivation for prevalence of vomit inducing wokeity.
