Car Parts, bits For Sale & Wanted / 17" OZ Polaris Alloys F/S

« on: 18 March 2017, 15:47:25 »

Maybe no to everyone's tastes but these did look very nice on the Omega they came off, 2 tyres are near new and the others have decent life in them. Wheels have been powder coated in gunmetal grey a few years ago and have carbon effect centre caps, one has a light kerb mark and there is very minor but of bubbling.  Only putting them on here in case someone fancies a bit of bling, £200 but will listen to offers!

Car Parts, bits For Sale & Wanted / 99 2.5 CDX est, Polar blue, breaking

« on: 04 March 2017, 10:11:39 »

This has now landed and drove really well on the journey back. 2.5 CDX manual in Polar sea blue but is being broken for parts. Gearbox is spoken for but the rest is up for grabs.  Wheels are snazzy 17" OZ racing Polaris, powder coated in gunmetal grey with decent tyres and will be going on egay for a decent price as they are popular with the maxpower crowd. It has fitted tailored mesh screens to all the rear windows which I haven't seen before which give a tint effect without the tins

I'll start stripping it over the weekend so please feel free to give me a shout for parts

Purely for part sale purposes does anyone know if there's a difference between a 2.5 and 3.0 manual DMF?

Car Parts, bits For Sale & Wanted / 98 2.5 CDX Est poss breaking

« on: 24 February 2017, 13:40:21 »

I may be taking on a breaker as above in polar sea blue, not sure the panels are up to much, just wondering if there is much interest any more in mini facelift parts before I decide to buy it. I want it for the manual box but the rest will be available

General Car Chat / Miggy old dealer parts

« on: 31 January 2017, 22:16:40 »

I guess this isn't news to some but I got pointed to this site that Vaux dealers use to sell off dusty stock, 9 pages of Mig stuff with a few reasonably priced highlights below. They have some weird headrest coathangers I haven't come across before

Omega General Help / Fuel pump

« on: 04 January 2017, 19:33:24 »

Some may recall Tony H has been having long running problems and now it wont run at all, maybe for a couple of seconds at most. Fuel pump is not priming but 12V is getting to the pump when the ignition is turned on and pressure is also near non existant at the schrader valve.

Put a wanted ad in the usual section but thought maybe someone could answer if the estate pump and saloon are the same or may have one knocking about? whole gubbins wanted due to likely pipe crumbling

Car Parts, bits For Sale & Wanted / Petrol fuel pump needed

« on: 04 January 2017, 19:25:16 »

Hi,

Working pump assembly needed to hopefully ressurect Tony H's 2.5 saloon, prefer the whole gubbins as the pipes may be corroded on his when we get to it ( Bloody bit tow bar assembly covering the access lid ).  It's getting power on ignition but no priming occuring.

Cheers all

General Discussion Area / I'm falling apart

« on: 20 December 2016, 22:57:43 »

Well half of me is !

Right foot - Plantar fasciitis
Right knee- Knackered cartilage and tendons
Right groin - scar tissue from an old hernia repair that's causing loadsa pain
Right hand - Carpel tunnel/trigger finger requiring regular injections
Right shoulder- grinds !
Right ear - going deaf

Recently had some neck issues which now causes neuropathic pain, hopefully just a nerve damaged which is causing loss of sensation in my right arm and leg which alternates to mega pins and needles, GP has stuck me on Gabapentin which is normally used for epilepsy and awaiting an MRI scan to see what's up.

Left side of me works ok though

Any way, happy sodding Christmas

General Car Chat / Surprising 2.6 cat value

« on: 02 November 2016, 22:56:17 »

I've had a set of 4 2.6 cats kicking around for a while and best offer was a miserable £10 each from various scrap dealers, I chanced my arm and  stuck them on egay for £75 or best offer literally 2 minutes ago and they've just been bought at full asking price by some form of company, I didn't even add any pics    happy days   

I have the feeling they would have fetched more had I asked it !  If you've got some get em gone

Omega General Help / Running issues, diagnostic advice needed

« on: 02 November 2016, 20:25:56 »

Trying to help out one of our brethren Tony who has long running issues with his 2.5, it's had new plugs, leads and dis pack but the following persists , in his own words:

"The symtoms are as follows, missfire under light throttle. (seem harder to start from cold in the last week) running seems to  slightly improve as the engine warms up, when  driven hard the "miss" seems to clear and the firing is normal until desired cruising speed is reached them as the throttle is backed off the "miss" returns. mpg has taken a beating down to 13 MPG around town"

I have the unmentionable diagnostic device and have no intention of using it for programming but am happy to look at any monitors/values to try and narrow down what may be wonky so would be grateful if you guys could advise what we need to look at and what the normal values would be, lambda switching , fuel trims and anything else useful etc
