Omega General Help / Re: battery specs

« on: 04 January 2015, 16:58:29 »

My 2.5 CDX V6 (V plate) MFL still has her original VX battery in snug jacket   

Not sure if that is a World Record 

(Mental note, pop her on charge later  )

Glad to hear she is on the road for another 12 months 

And yep, Nigel Langs in Bolton would have pointed your Omega in right direction if you needed Geo setup    (Mine is still fantastic since they sorted it  - highly recommended place)

Happy motoring

General Discussion Area / Re: Is it worth using spray on underseals to top up protection ?

« on: 22 December 2014, 18:40:44 »

Just sprayed the underside of my prized Citroen van after extensive welding with this stuff.

Which Flavour ?  There were a few to choose from from the website, incl the E Type Jag 

Thanks in advance.

General Discussion Area / Is it worth using spray on underseals to top up protection ?

« on: 21 December 2014, 19:09:09 »

I have noticed there are a few 'spray on' underseal products about.

Since my baby is always kept in the garage in dry (kept under her warm Duvet ), is it worth giving the underside a bit of TLC ?


• Anybody used any of the spray on underseals ?
• Is it worth doing just really to 'Keep on top of things and keep the underside protection up to scratch ?
• Anybody recommend any brands / particular stuff ?

I only ask since I have just had the arches and door sorted, they wax oiled the wheel arches so look brand new.  Thought I may therefore give the whole underside a spray if thought worth it ?

Thoughts welcome and merry chrismas to all

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: side light bulb replacement

« on: 19 December 2014, 21:31:44 »

Hi, thanks for that, i got my fingers as far as the sidelight holder but couldn't shift it. Is it a push,twist or beat with a hammer fit?

Yep pulls straight out  .  Perhaps try latex work gloves for purchase  .  Should be able to grab base of bulb holder and give small wiggle / rotation whilst pulling straight out.

Yep it's fairly simple to do     Keep hold of the rubber cover and don't drop it 

Other tip is put the sidelights on when you pop the bulb back into rear of light  as you can see to locate it better 

Have fun - Just changed mine for slightly brighter LED projector Side light bulbs.  Will see how they fair

  Thanks for the comments 

I got my headlight covers from the dealers, but it was a few years ago and not sure if they still do them to be honest.

Word of caution, close the bonnet gently as I broke the first pair and the dealer broke the second so they head to replace them FOC !!!

Omega Gallery / Re: New Leather Handbrake and Gearstick Gaitors

« on: 07 December 2014, 18:31:00 »

I wonder what it went for, I guess over £1 million.

Could customise it and fit to my Dash - Show off my Gaiters nicely

It should be     The place has regular deliveries of Bentleys, Mercs, Aston Martins etc so I thought they should be able to sort me right with a nice leather Handbrake and Gearstick Gaiter

The trim match is remarkable, better then the original I would say which was NOT leather and not a leather mottled finish which is what console is so the new gaiters even match the surroundings !!!!

Omega General Help / Re: Heated seat (sorry another question !, but this is for Cloth Trim seat !)

« on: 06 December 2014, 19:04:24 »

Thanks for the feedback. 

I may leave it then if a bit of a faf and minor surgery.

I have not missed the heated seats to be honest and car not used that much (once a week) as I commute mostly on my bicycle - not want to expose my baby to the cold elements as she is tucked up in heated garage under her blanket

Cheers,
Andy.

£50 cash  . 

E.Gay was wanting £25-£30ish for a pair but quality was unknown (and not sure which bit of the cow the leather would have come from 

The trim place I used also fitted the nice new leather to the original GM gaiter bases (glued now rather than stapled), and they used the original fabric that came off as a pattern 

I have had motor from new, so wanted to try and preserve most of original, and thought £50 for custom leather to match the originals was not bad.
