Thank you, will take a closer look, I guess they would be OK for the 3.0, but am I thinking that failure is rare on the 3.0?

Omega General Help / crank shaft sensor query.
« on: 02 December 2023, 16:12:59 »
Having the sheds out to try and make sense of all the spares bought over the last four years....shocking!! I've found five OE crank shaft sensors 90492006, and presume that they are for the 3.0. Question is..are they suitable for the 3.2 also? :-\TIA

In reference to Omegas52, I was up with him about a year ago, and he told me that he won't be breaking Omegas anymore, due to the scarcity of donor cars. :'(

I'm glad I didn't go this year, seeing the YT vids of the miserable weather conditions

Car is back and new jacking points fabricated and welded in, also they had to fabricate another piece where the fuel line runs through it....total bill for that was £225. They also did an in depth inspection on the rest of the car, and said they found no other probs. They then did a full Lanoguard underbody treatment, and guaranteed all the work done. Total cost for everything including the welding £900.

Agreed, it's going in on Tuesday, whole thing is going to take a couple of days and will have to be inspected every year and topped up if needed. I'm thinking I might well have the other two done, although at the moment they are OK, but as a precaution it would be worth it as any further rust repairs could also be done there.

I've just got back from Public Enemy Customs down in Fleet. They had the car for an inspection, and it's only the front jacking points that need repairing. Also they dismissed the MOT testers comments as incorrect, and that a permanent repair is 100% feasible, also the rest of the car is extremely sound and after the repairs are finished, they are going use a high temp steam clean on the underside and then properly LanoGuard and inject all cavities,and although similar to the home DIY products, it's done with pro equipment. Also they use the Lanoguard heavy duty grease on welded seams and any other vulnerable spots, so that's a yes from me, and that should see me and the car end our days on the road together....thanks to Boris Gumps scrappage scheme....tosser!

No idea Al, car came from Elite Pete about 10 years ago, and iirc SP30 before that, and up to date no probs with it during my ownership So I'll break out my best club hammer tomorrow and 'fix it' proper!

Broken wire, worth having a look around for. Also yes to waiting 3-4 seconds for the release, my two cop cars are a lot quicker than the Elite for some reason.-

I've temporarily rigged up a pull cord to the manual release, but other than that there's no sign of life by either using the switch or remote, so thinking there's no electrickery somewhere up the lid end

Just a quick one, the boot on the Elite won't open, everything checks out i.e nos switch fitted and fuses checked, but no action up the rear end. 
So presuming there must be a duff solenoid lurking somewhere, just need some idea as to where. tia

Thinking I might punt it around a few places, just to get an idea of costs and final results. And in all honesty I really like this Elite and it's had a fair amount of money spent on it in the past couple of years. So lets see if it's worth saving

Just had a friendly verbal heads up from the MOT man. So thought I'd take a look this afternoon....and yes not looking good. So the question being, is a repair to all four points a feasible option, or should I send the car for scrap?

I was there as well, but got called away, but wasn't much use as I got caught up in a massive traffic jam near Oxford. So by the time I got back home the problem was sorted. But what I did see, it was worth making the run up, and would certainly go next year.
