General Car Chat / Re: I'm in two minds. Should I sell my Omega?

« on: 12 July 2015, 20:26:31 »

Keep it I'd say.

You have vast amounts of land to store it and insurance loose change and maintenance is peanuts.

To be honest, I have given up on a mint one. Sure there are some about, like this Red one but you have to be extremely lucky to come across one.

Why don't you send me some pictures of your MV6 if you want

I'll have it if nobody else does!

You don't need a 3.2 if you already have a mint 2.6 

You have one, why do you need another

Sorry I forgot you had sold me one of yours

Thanks Al. I'll take a look at some point during the week.

The assister spring bit is too technical for me

General Car Chat / Zafira bonnet catch adjustment

« on: 15 June 2015, 22:43:37 »

The bonnet on my Zafira doesn't open unless someone is pushing down on it - my Omega used to do this which I fixed thanks to the guide on here. I'm guessing it's something similar again but I can't locate the cable. Anyone know?

Mark, Al, Tea Boy? Plenty of Zafira owners here I'm sure.

General Car Chat / Re: Jacking pads

« on: 01 June 2015, 21:53:08 »

As aaron said, its a hockey puck with slots. I could buy two and cut in the slots myself with a grinder and have a second one . You don't need slots on an Omega anyway.

The saddle on my jack is 100mm and the puck is 75mm so it should slot in without sitting on the teeth

Click on the link above

Or this one. https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=hockey+puck+jack&client=ms-android-samsung&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ei=5nFsVdzpFuiz7gaI2ICYDA&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAQ&biw=360&bih=640

General Car Chat / Jacking pads

« on: 01 June 2015, 09:58:01 »

This probably won't be news to seasoned mechanics but will hopefully help some.

My trolley jack doesn't have one of those fancy rubber pads in the centre to protect the chassis so I have just ordered a hockey puck from eBay for £2.95. Its 75mmx25mm so should be a perfect fit. I have been using off cuts of ply but they split and often need renewing so hopefully this will work better and last longer.

This one is a bit dearer but same thing.

Please don't flame me if it's been discussed before.

General Car Chat / Re: Morrisons car wash

« on: 31 May 2015, 21:04:36 »

DIY! For 9 years I have used the hand car wash types with unsatisfactory results. I tried it myself about a year and a half ago and not looked back. Yes, it takes me a couple of hours instead of 5 mins but the results are worth the effort.

MickDundee, I see you live in the holiday resort of Peckham which explains your high premium. I'm not so far from you and I can vouch that its not a bad price.
