imobiliser seems ok. i,m not 100% sure but if the s/m bendix is not engaging and spinning the flywheel could this be the prob. thats what it sounds like when i try to turn the engine.

Omega General Help / bad starting sometimes

« on: 22 October 2009, 21:29:21 »

on occassions my tractor has starting probs. its as if the starter motor is sticking. but it has always started.  you can imagine my panic on Tuesday when i had to pick my 6yr old grand,daughter from school but went elsewhere first. i left it for two mins, tried turning it for 20mins eventually flattening the battery. the outcome was ok in the end a taxi driver got me there just on time & later on a neighbour jumped it off (first turn of the key) i will have to try & sort it tomorrow as iv,e just been informed that i,m picking her up tomorrow. fingers x

Omega General Help / Re: Leak off pipes

« on: 07 October 2009, 13:17:25 »

will hot water soften the pipe - another little trick i used was to get a wire coat hanger cut slightly longer  (2 -3 inch) & taper a end so it fits inside the metal l/off pipe sliding down the flexi pipe enabled a better grip. also by putting the wire into the pipe 1st & then sliding the flexi down the wire i found it easier to push the l/off pipe  :)into situ when putting new pipes on.
