do vauxhall parts open on sundays??
so after poking around on the forum alot of people have said that it could be caused by a breather blockage or the cam cover gasket so i was wondering what i should do please? ::)change the gasket first or try cleaning the breathers or do both :-/
QuoteAnother thing is that the car still ticks over at 500rpm!!! if it was the leads,plugs,air leak wouldn't it tick over erratically???
Your car is a v6 mate and they do tick over at 500rpm... until you put on the air con then it lifts to around 600rpm (this is as long as there is gas in the air con system).
Air leaks do cause poor mpg, like already said try to find it... start the car listen for the hissing then run your hand around the vac pipes located where you think the hiss is from.
I would start there before buying anything mate
will an air leak feel like a dodgy plug lead??and will it cause the problems in the first post?Thats good, in which case I would try and find the cause of the airleak (hissing) and fix that before spending any cash .
are them leads,plugs any good?? as i think i might change them anyway as i've got no idea when they were last changed,only had the car a few months and i was going to try and give the car a service with the help and advice of my fellow oofer's ::)and the how too's
Does the EML light come on for a few seconds when you turn the ignition on without starting the engine
Have you checked for fault codes using the paperclip method ??

Always the best place to start ..
A vaccuum leak will give problems ... use some carb cleaner, sprayed LIGHTLY around the engine whilst ticking over, if the engine note suddenly changes as you spray near the component .. you've found the leak ...
Changing things on spec is usually both pointless and expensive ! find the problem first .. then fix it
i've heard a few members recommending bosch :-/ :-/ does this price sound right??
Have a look at my guide for reference mate: http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1192324445
New door trim is about £30 from Vx, it is stuck on and clipped
You need to carefully use a wallpaper scrapper or similar to get behind the old trim to break the glue.
You will need to clean off the old glue with petrol. A time consuming job. But fitting the new one takes about 1 min
Bumper trim, is about £25 per section and the guide says the rest
