Omega General Help / Re: Rev counter and fuel gauge jumping up and down
« on: 25 August 2018, 05:50:01 »
It’s the capacitors on the back of the Rev counter board you need to open up the dash and remove the gauge pins and the remove the trox screws and carefully open the case up. In the back of the casing there is a board that’s clipped in place on that there is 2. Apasitors these to need replacing. Around £2 for them both these smith the power for the revcounter and the fuel gauge when they warm up they will work the voltage properly but until they changed it will get worse. Make sure you replace them with 105c Type think one is 10v and other is 16v.

spray switch cleaner around the gap it will soak in and clean it out. can use wd40 but would need to wipe away as leaves shiny marks. had stick switch when a child droped her kfc coke a right sticky mess. but it sorted it.

Omega General Help / Re: Little light on battery.
« on: 03 August 2018, 19:42:51 »
There is videos on YouTube they call it the 3 wire upgrade. You can do it that way or just the 2 way but 3 way is better. As covers better earthing. Bought the wires and copper ends all four under £15 and soldered the ends on and tie rapped them to wiring loom. My altanator had 2 out puts so could use that on out put to battery. Think it all took about an hour. Not really a hard job to do. If you watch a video it's quite easy to do.

if its on charge the voltage should be around 15.2 volts (home charger 8 to 12 amp) and then leave the battery off charge for half an hour. then check should be 12.8 or 12.6. can be lower more lower its not hoolding its charge. on alternator charge should be around 14.2 to 14.5 volts 70 to 120 amps depending on alternator output. anything lower than 12.8 volts on alternator charge there is somthing wrong with battery or altinator or wiring or earth. so they would need to be checked. there can be a drop of voltage on the wiring of 0.2 to 0.5 volts anymore than this then the wiring is damaged. mine the wiring was damaged so put new earth wire in and a new alternator feed to the battery. 13.8 volts was the most before and it was all over the place on voltage. after adding the wirse its 14.5 volts and steady no waving about. dont remove old wiring just add to the original and add a fuse link with fuse from 70 amp depending on alternator out put. new earth added to the alternator bolt rear of the case. not the front as this will cause resistance.

rust coverter for alloy and metal mat black, sand it down around the bad areas and then use the rust kill or rust converter. with a small paint brush. dont matter if it gets on the seal or the glass. leave the rust kil/converter to dry around 15-20 min and then you can paint. make sure its has on rust kill/ coverter that its no wash off. as some you have to wash off after a time. then wait till its dry and sand down. can use a primer but with none wash rust kill it has its own primer uselly turns black.

i would think its normal yesterday the same thing happened to me but the temp was 88c to 90c but i think it was atmospheric pressure as everything was normal. driving back around 7pm it all went back to normal running temp when allday it was the same temp 167 miles round trip. I have heard of it happening in other countries. and there was reports of this happening in 1986. but it only happens on rare occasions.

if it sounds like him it more likely to be the amp failing. or there is a drain on the radio like faulty capacitors.

Omega General Help / Re: Throttle body for X20XEV
« on: 27 July 2018, 23:26:39 »
yeah just swap over. before swapping when removed there is a tiny hole in the case spray some switch cleaner in the hole and shack it about and move the sensor armature on the sensor around and then let it drain out give it a good soaking inside. this will clean the switch resistor bar and be as good as new when clean. then fit it. 
make sure its dry before fitting should just drip out the hole over time or evaporate .

Yeah that will fit. But check the number on the throttle sensor as there can be different numbers.

I found some in a double glazing shop ( in a long tube for a gun) for securing the rubber seals to the window frames, when they fit them in. but most car parts shop usually have the 12g tubes in.

take out the sunroof glass and clean the felt covered rubber get the hard debry of it. this stops the rubber part from expanding and contracting. rub some silicon grease for rubber on the area on the felt. and refit the sunroof glass. would be fine as long as its not split or cracked around the seal between the alloy top and the metal bottom. its held in place with screws and screen bond with the rubber seal in the middle. soaking some rag in vinegar will remove the mold that can accumulate but dont leave it on for to long.
