« on: 04 September 2020, 07:38:56 »
Yes after owning the Omega for almost 17 years it will be going to its new owner today, never ever thought I would ever sell the Omega (Thanks a lot Mr Sadiq Khan >:(), anyway on a positive note I know the car is going to a very good home and will be looked after :y

Cars for Sale & wanted / With Great regret......
« on: 27 August 2020, 12:23:23 »
The car will be up for sale at a very reasonable price for a quick sale at £1,000 (strictly no offers) recent work done in the past 3 months:

Panels re-sprayed, left hand passenger side, front & rear bumper and boot cost £800
Rims recoated and two new tyres- cost £420
Small bit of rust done and dealt with left hand passenger side bottom of wheel arch £250
New mini sub-woofer £180
Front discs replaced £150

Now I know the car is worth a lot more being broken given the full irmscher spec kit on the car, car is listed as a CDX 2.6 V6, engine was rebuilt by MarksDTM back in 2008/09 and some mods done to the car, lamda sensors relocated to stop common EML light, RPM sensor relocated so can access at top of engine bay, rear sunscreen, engine ported and 3 litre cams put in, now a 3 litre engine.  Some other bits below:

Alpine stereo head with alpine amp in boot
irmscher 20mm lowered suspension
full irmscher body kit
irmscher steering wheel (silver)
irmscher gear knob, door locks and pedals

Good and bad bits:
Clock is at 157k, clutch was replaced at 133k, Cambelt was done in 2017, so due around now, key is not working to remote unlock, so have to do manually, key has been repaired but really needs a new key, also have a spare key for the car, cam cover seals done last year and new spark plugs fuel filter etc., wishbones replaced 2018 (fifth change), track rod arms changed 2018 (again fifth change), HBV has been changed out as were the dis packs several years ago and the alternator. Oil leak but cannot see where coming from, someplace underneath, not huge leak, usually top the oil up every 6 weeks or so. New lifetime warranty battery fitted last year. No advisories on any MOTs, next MOT due Nov 20.

Have always had the work done that has been needed, the only thing that has not really been changed out on the car is the shock absorbers, still original. This car has never really let me down and I have owned the car since 2003, has 2 runner up awards (2007 & 2009 and 1 winner (2008) award for car class from Autobahnstormers/Billing aquadrome.

Anyway enough said the car is well know to most, plenty pictures on the Forum, but can post recent ones up if required. Interested then drop me a PM.

General Car Chat / Little bit of a hole......
« on: 07 May 2020, 10:03:36 »
 Came across this the other day, bubbling under the paintwork, so this morning thought i would have a wee chip away at it thinking it might be an easy refill and repair within my realms of doable ::)......, well little bit turned out to identify bigger underlying issue, so think will speak to the guys round the corner would P40 do this and a bit of mesh?....I personally think a bit of welding a section on?, side skirt will also need to come off, and the rubber lower door seal on the body work does not appear to just come off easy, must be stuck with something, don't want to pull too hard on it....

General Car Chat / Wheel Alignment....
« on: 03 May 2020, 11:58:43 »
Below is the results from last year, never done the rear for obvious reasons, this is the same place that recently powder coated the rims, and I plan taking back there once the rear struts are done, I think they got the fronts well out from what they should be?...….

General Car Chat / Well so much for that plan.....
« on: 03 May 2020, 11:49:45 »
Well bought LEDs for the speedo/dash off of fleebay, and guess what, despite the description they do not fit, found out why the clocks when lit were somewhat dim, two blown bulbs, trip to hellfords later....

Not even big enough to replace the larger bulbs...


Does not even fit in the smaller slot....


And the dim clock culprits…….

General Car Chat / Car Polish - Wax or Ceramic?
« on: 02 May 2020, 08:09:58 »
Was looking at waxing the car, been a long time, looking at products on the market I see there is now ceramic polish lasts up to twelve months but it is very expensive compared to wax.

Has anyone tried the ceramic polish is it worth it and is it better than wax, does it last as long as they say on the tin.

Omega Gallery / Some pics of the Car
« on: 02 May 2020, 07:30:10 »
Just thought I'd post a couple of old and newer pics up.....







This one was a close call couple of years ago......



This one is the SUV in Thailand, wheels are currently off and battery disconnected, and mice proofed, with pre-fabricted 2ft high steel sheeting and wrapped, doubt I will be seeing it this year.....

General Car Chat / Some new bits for the car
« on: 02 May 2020, 07:14:34 »
Arrived yesterday, new boot gas struts, current ones are a bit manky/rusting so get shot of them and new rear track control arms, originally ordered lemforder then they stated unavailable so ended up with these Moog ones, fraction of the price under £34, so get these fitted then can get the geometry done
