I am looking at organising a Cambelt meet early next year in the vicinity of Farnborough (exact address and instructions will be forwarded to invited members)
Facilities available:
- pit, long enough for 2 cars
- car lift
- sheltered space sufficient for half a dozen cars
- space for a BBQ
- Rest room with brew making facilities
Members will have to provide:
- Own tools and parts
- signed liability waiver
- (possibly) beer tokens toward group insurance cover for the day
- burgers and tea
Question is what dates are people free, esp some of the experts/admins? I am personally leaning toward the end of Jan.
-
Count me in, with Tech 2. :y
Pretty much free diary in the new year although 1st. February and the couple of weekends around it would be best avoided (Mrs. KW's birthday).
Kevin
-
I should be able to make it. No problem with dates as January and February seems free.
No work needs to be done at the moment but i would like Kevin to check the car over with his Tech2.

Yep! :y

Oh, and I have a leaky diff pinion seal so a ramp/pit would be most welcome. ;)

Spare rooms potentially available here too. :y
Now, on to the important bit. Where are we going for the curry afterwards? ;)

I should be up for it. If its in the bleak midwinter (as all our cambelt do's seem to be), do the doors close to keep out wind/cold....
...now then, Mr Wood, about those spare rooms of yours ::) :P

Mmmmmm cambelt party!
Pity its such a long way....

Sorry to hear that, Guffer :( Open to other suggestions regarding the comestibles, obviously. :y
There's a Travelodge just up the road from me (Alton Four Marks) if we get short of spare rooms.
Kevin

This meet sounds very interesting - i'm free and look forward to more details :y

Sorry to hear that, Guffer :( Open to other suggestions regarding the comestibles, obviously. :y

I thought I would give the Curry thing a whirl last night as a test because it doesnt affect everyone with my condition, alas it's not good :'(
-
This is just up the road from where I am now. Count me in. Happy to bring tools/beer/stuff

Depending on date would like to come along. :y

Date dependent I'm interested . Don't need any work doing but would like to put faces to names. Can bring tools (extensive collection) help out ect.

I have been thinking a lot about this meet and I have had a few ideas. What would everyone think to a meet with not just the access to the hangar, but also accomodation, a curry dinner and liability insurance all thrown in for a small fee; say £20 ish?
-
I'd be up for this, if only to demo Guffers handy work :-)

I'm potentially interested, depending on when it is. Not really in any desperate need for any work apart from a HID bulb change, although that may well have changed by then.
Not convinced I'll be much help either the way my back is, although I am finally on the mend (slowly) :'( ::)
-
It'll be good to see you Paul.
Yep, let's play. [smiley=2vrolijk_08.gif]

I don't know any of you, have only been on here for a month or so, have no ability whatsoever with a bag full of ratchets and am only on guarded nodding terms with the oily bits of my car, but........would I be welcome? [smiley=happy.gif]
Happy to do anything non-techy..... [smiley=happy.gif]

Looks like wall has found his job for the day then ;D ;D ;D
Being serious tho I wouldnt mind popping along to this if the dates were free in my dull little life ::) ;D ;D
-
Depending when... assuming its not far from M4? Its quite close too me.
I'm sure KW would like to practice doing my diff seal before doing his own ::)
-
I would be up for the meet. I can supply beer and don't mind flipping the burgers as i have no tools but i'm ok as an assistant. I've got an exhaust to fit and would be grateful for the ramps and some assistance. I've also got a pair ox HID's which i wouldn't mind fitting or if it's too difficult selling. Have we got a date sorted yet as i'll need to make sure i haven't got my daughter that weekend.

...talking of dif's i suppose i should try and fit the lower geared one i have here.

Might be worth popping a new set of seals in it first. Easier to do off the car. :y

Ok, I have a green light from the site owner. Now we need to firm up the best dates for everyone:
I cant do the weekend of 22nd/23rd Jan, other than that I'm Free!

I'm up for it as long as its a saturday . Dont need owt doing but it would be nice to meet some of you lot
:y

Poll Added :y
-
How did I miss this? Count me in! Don't know about doing the cambelt (although, maybe.. apparently done at 80k but who believes garage stamps?) but could at least do with doing the breathers/rocker cover gaskets.
Beer/curry/etc sounds good to me, too, and I'm free any weekend except the 22/23 too (since I'll be pulling an MR2 engine and replacing it that weekend .. not in mine, thankfully!) ;D
-
I will close the poll on Sunday 9th Jan and go with the date with the most votes :y
-
Darn! Voted for the 19th; it's the most popular; and now it's looking like I can't make that one. :'(

Agreed, for what its worth. Have voted but can do any of the dates listed personally. Hopefully can re arange for when everyones available somehow. :-/

I don't think that's the case at all. :-[ If 19th is the most popular I don't want to exclude anyone by torpedoing it. Just annoyed that I voted for it then realised I couldn't make it. (http://www.freesmileys.org/smileys/smiley-think004.gif)
If it does land on the 19th, I can probably escape in time for the curry anyway. :P
Kevin
Let's see
-
Would like to attend :), although a distance but have not got meg as yet although I am hoping to shortly :) :) and probably may require something doing, hopefully nothing too major. :-/
Don't know anyone as yet, but good to put faces to pseudonyms and thank personally for advice given.
I have no specific dates in mind at present 8-)
-
Would love to attend .... only one job that I know of ... and that would depend on the "site" rules regarding "wet" jobs .... yup .. autobox fluid/filter change... but if it is considered too "messy" I'd understand ....
:)

As long as you clear up afterwards there is no problem. In fact the site is perfect for this job. In the pit is an oil drain :y

-
Ah, now that you mention it, my ATF needs doing.
-
I could be up for this :) Happy to bring tools & bits along.
-
Hm.. based on the horrible smell of burning oil after a run, now, I think I need to do my camcover gaskets & breathers at this! :o
-
Yippee.......some people with knowledge NEAR me.....count me in please, my 1999 2.5 V6 cdx has done 48k and will need a new cambelt and a good check over PLEASE?
Farnborough Kebab House does good burgers if the BBQ is rained off.
Ps.....what tools and bits would I need? I am as mechanically minded as a bollard....sorry.
-

You won't need anything other than the parts, but if you have tools, bring them along. The more the merrier. :y
Certainly the special tools, cam locking kits, etc. will be there. General purpose spanners, socket sets, jacks, axle stands, etc. are always handy if you have them but if you don't have any don't worry. :y
So, you'll need a V6 cam belt kit (complete kit including tensioners). What else depends on the car. If history is unknown I would say replace the coolant and possibly have a spare water pump to hand. How is the service history? Possibly add oil and filter, spark plugs, air filter, fuel filter, aux. belt and some carb cleaner to clean out the breathers.
If you don't have a trade club card (or autobahnstormers membership) I guess we could probably organise a run to the dealers with one for some cut-price parts. :y

If we have access to a pit I would like to get the aircon pump changed as mine has goosed :( Hell of a lot easier to do that on ramps / pit with the access.

No problem, can you just make sure that you get it degassed first so that we dont have dangerous gasses in the pit :y

Ah yes, I remember having to evacuate a friends garage after Stu managed to drill through his aircon condenser.. (We always used a bit of wood as a spacer after that, can't imagine why!)
The funniest bit (not to him at the time, obviously!) was after he drilled the first hole (for mounting a chargecooler rad) he said "Do you think I hit the condenser?", "No," says I, "If you hit that you'd know it because it'll be going pssshhhhhhhhh".. ten seconds later, "Just like that!"

Thanks, all the gas has long vented. It turns out the pump and pipe is knackered. I had a chap have a look with a UV light and you can see where it all escaped.
-
Count me in(if there's still space available).I can bring a cam locking kit plus lots of tools &bags of rags if it helps.

See the other thread for details on how to be included on the confirmed list :y

PM sent. :y
Few questions if I may:
What tools do I need to bring?
Has the cost been finalised?
Is accommodation available?
What food/drink needs to be brought along?
Do you need the names of any accomplices? if so what would be the deadline for these?
Will be good to put names to faces. :y
Al.
-
No costs yet as I couldnt find anyone who would do suitable insurance cover, everyone will have to sign a waiver that they understand they are working at their own risk. I havent got a definitive answer on the accomodation or curry yet Once we have enough people on the confirmed list I will ask them what they want :y
If we go for accomodation and curry you're talking about £20 a head :y
-
No probs.

Tidyup at OPs request :y

Is the Pink One likely to come down??
I'm still hopeful I'll be able to come down but not sure how much work I'll be able to do as my back is still FUBARed... :'( :'( :'(
May have to beg/borrow someone to sort my handbrake for me as MOT is due in March ::) It's a problem in the cable/lever side of things as the shoe assembly has recently been replaced :y :y

I'm assuming you have a limit on how many cam belts can be changed in a day lol
I'm only asking as i know i was quite late getting my name down, so i'll be happy to get the parts done locally to me if i can't be fitted in at the party.

I'd like to pop along as well. Nothing major really to do - well apart from front discs and atf & filter change! But they can wait for a bit later in the year.
I'd like to get some expert ears listening to the soft 'tick' coming from (I think) the passenger side of the engine. It's not a lifter/tappet noise, nothing like as 'hard' sounding as that.
Be good to meet up as well!

There is a chance I'm wrong about this.. but yeah.. ;D I thought the 2.5TD had a chain, 2.2DTi had a belt (except in the Vectra where it has a chain).. Someone will correct us if I'm wrong, I'm sure :)

I'm sure that both 2.5 and 2.2 diesels are chain driven mate :y
-
We aim to entertain ;D
I'm sure there was a belt involved somewhere on the 2.2DTi - maybe I have it back to front, though, and it's a belt in the Vectra? Anyhow, moving swiftly on :)

AFAIK the 2.2 Diesel lump in both the Omega and the Veccy are the same ;)
Certainly in the Veccy, the 2.0 and 2.2 Diesels are Chain, the 1.9 CDTi lumps went to belts again :y
-
I still intend to come along, meet some of you characters, chew the fat about Omegas in particular and in general, learn some stuff (hopefully), help out in whatever way I can, and hopefully have an all round nice time!
Is the location and line-up to be made public soon?

You need to PM Guffer per the instructions here (http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1294691904) to get your name on the list ;)
-
Thanks Aaron - PM sent! :y
-
I would certainly like to make it!
No jobs needed on my car, but more than happy to bring my limited selection of tools and anything else of use.
TB, Tunnie and any other localish members...do you want a lift if you're vehicle doesn't require work? I know in the evenings it's nice to enjoy a few beers, but I'm always driving and on diet coke...so more than happy to give a lift to anyone?

Omega and Frontera 2.2DTi is chain (Y22DTH)
-
Right we are slowly building up to and potentially beyond 2 dozen cars for this meet :o
In order to guage how much work needs to be done could those confirmed attendees add what work you require, tools you can bring, and skills you can do. I am worried we are getting close to capacity.
Also, who will be bringing the bbq, bangers, rolls and bacon? :P
-
I desperately need to do my rocker cover gaskets and, if I get a set ordered by then, possibly front wishbones (nowhere near desperate for those, though).
I'd rate myself as 'fairly handy' with a spanner (all the work on the MR2 is my own, ditto the Nissan - I think I can pull a 1ZZ from the MR2 in my sleep now, although last time we did forget to detach the gearbox cables :-[) and I'll bring my toolbox(es) - spanners, ratchets, torque wrenches, breaker bar, spring compressors etc. I just need to buy some Torx sockets before coming.
As for the BBQ.. I could be persuaded to bring my gas BBQ .. just don't trust my cooking! ;) (There'd need to be a whole separate waiver form for that ;D)
-
Rear dif swap and ATF change.
Big bag of spanners. Most omega tasks, suspension and steering ESP, can do cam belts but no locking kit.
I guess we need to separate the jobs requiring a lift from jobs that can be done on the floor....?
-
...and I don't see Lazydocker on the confirmed list...? Think he needs his handbrake fettling, bad back and all.
-
I have a few jobs that can potentially be done but not a disaster if they don't.
Diff pinion oil seal is one I'd like to do on a ramp ideally, but will get the chance to do so soon enough if there isn't time.
I can bring a gas grill, 2 burner gas stove plus kettle and have a proper (charcoal) barbecue if required.
Also have a generator if we're going to need to work on cars away from mains.
Depends what facilities we have there really.
Tool wise I have a V6 cam belt kit and all the usual bits and pieces, also a MIG welder if we're likely to need one. Oh, and I will bring the Tech 2 along, of course.
Kevin
-
Thanks Chris, I am coming and could do with a hand with the Handbrake cables. I'm just wondering if I should get hold of a full set just in case :-/
Other thing is an Oil and Filter change, and petrol filter (as I don't think it's been done for a while :-[ ::)), anyone bringing some fuel filter pliers? Also want to repair the wiring for the outside temp sensor but not essential.
May well have a different set of LPG injectors to try but that's not essential. Most important for me are the Handbrake and the oil & Filter.
As for tools... Not really going to be able to bring my toolbox as it'll put my back out again but can bring a few little bits. I've got Johnnycboy's locking kit too at the moment which I'm sure he wont mind me bringing along ;)
Work wise... I'm capable of most things but the back will be prohibitive. It's much better and feels pretty much normal but I've been told I have to be careful for the next few months :( Should be able to do a few little bits, particularly if the cars are up in the air, but not going to commit to too much
More than happy to take a wander round and advise/guide people, man a grill/BBQ, make tea etc :y I'll make sure I bring a teapot along... What about cups? Everyone bring their own?
-
I have some filter pliers I can bring along. Can also bring some electrical tools if wiring needs repair. :y
EDIT: Might be able to borrow a small urn if we have electrickery available. Might make tea and coffee production easier.
Kevin
-
I will require my cam belt, aux belt and water pump to be done - I'll be bringing with me ramps, axle stands, trolley jack, and a vast array of tools.
I am quite handy with a set of tools, most mechanical work i can do myself but have never felt 100% confident when it comes to cam belts for some reason :-/
Food wise I can bring sausages, burgers, buns - the usual BBQ stuff.
Hope that's ok?
-
No tools, no skills.
Happy to be a dogsbody - dont mind doing anything within reason, but if there are already too many cars, I'll drop out - no problem. Just say the word, Guffer... :)
-
Oh, and forgot to add compressor and air tools to the list if required. Can see myself having to get the trailer out if everything is required. ::)

There'll be space in the back of mine (even with the BBQ and tools) - easy enough to swing past yours on the way there, I reckon, if you run out of boot :) Bit of a detour but you're not exactly a million miles away.
-

Not sure what I'm doing yet... Current thinking is that I might try and arrange an appointment with Teilo on the Friday, then probably stay at my folks in Brighton so I could always swing by yours on the way up if needs be :y

Ooh, is it worth bringing a front end kit with you? Or are we testing it's first...?
-
I have one of those electric griddle things, ideal for bacon, if that helps. Reasonable size, about 2' wide. Can also bring some disposable cups/plates etc - got a bundle in the spare room.
Sounds as if we have enough volunteers for bringing BBQs, and my gas one is too bulky anyway.
I assume there will be a kettle available. I need tea. I live on tea.
Workwise, I really need to get my cam covers done. Badly. More than capable of doing it myself, but no facilities at home in this cold weather. Brrrrrr! Slightly more involved, as a 'posh' bloke fitted some LPG injectors in the way ;D
Limited boot space, but will of course bring v6 locking kit, and will see if I can nick Tunnie's 4 pot lock. And usual array of spanners etc from Halfords kits. Jacks might be too much of a squeeze...
-
Oh shit, hang on, when is it?

How much room is there in site Gaffers?
-
I can bring a small compressor if required. Useful for wheel removal if nothing else :y
-
I'm looking to get cambelt/waterpump done and cruise control switched on. Rest of filters/plugs not essential as I can do them at work easily enough.
Can bring trolley jacks x2, axle stands x4, selection of 1/2" sockets, including torx, breaker bars and a torque wrench man enough for hub nuts. One pair of capable hands. (Not adverse to getting them dirty either :D). Willing to assist where I can. :y
Can't cook for toffee :-X, but can bring food/tea bags as required.
Al. :y
-
How much room is there in site Gaffers?
If all the bays are free then at least 8 cars at any one time, but some bays can fit 2 cars. The pit has room for 2 cars. There is space for parking and there is space in the yard outside for those who can hack the cold.
By the way, who needs accomodation that hasn't already got bedspace at hotel guffer/KW? If there is enough demand I'll book some rooms in the mess.
Did we decide what people want to do for dinner/curry? If we have people staying in the mess then we could go for a mess curry, or we could just go for a local curryhouse like last time?
-
Jobs I need doing (if time permits...)
1.Relocation of precat lamdas (new bosses already welded into exhausts, just need the lamdas moving)
2.ATF and Diff Oil changes
3.Fault finding of random misfires (most likely water in plug wells)
4.In general, I'd like the car looked over by some expert eyes, in case I've missed anything! :y
Tools and skills...
I have a garage full of general tools, plus trolley jacks, axle stands, etc. I'm happy to bring anything with me. Just let me know what you think you might be short of... I'm fairly handy with the spanners, though no expert, so I'll happily get stuck in wherever required. Or I'll make the tea and burn the bacon if needed! :y
I'm travelling a fair way and ideally, I'd like to stay over the night, rather than travel back. Does anyone have any suggestions for accomodation?
-
By the way there are plenty of axel stands and jacks here so no need to bring your own unless you really want to.
Plus dont forget the lift :y
-

Depends... If it's all sorted and I am able to organise it I suppose it's no hardship to pick it up for you/TB/whoever if payment has been sorted to save on the postage.
As for testing it... Well, it's going to be down to either you or TB to test the standard reducer I would have thought, although the plan is to get a high power reducer in the V6 kit at the right price :y :y
-
Guffer,
I would really appreciate a bed for the night if you can sort one for me?
Cheers :y :y
-

Job ...... ATF change
Tools...... I can bring .... Full halfords toolkit, V6 cambelt kit, Maxscan, high/low range torque wrenchs ...
Other bits ..... probably Alb's door for onwards freighting
:)
-
Cheers Paul :y
Do you wanna meet up and head down together? Might be handy since I have no idea where we are going in Farnborough!! :-/
-
If i am allowed to come to this meet, and possibly get through the strip search plus drug test.... Can i come down in me Jag ? :-*
-
Oh and is anyone coming from Somerset way? I need a favour :y

That depends on other factors... If I can arrange it I want to go down on the Friday to visit the LPG man for a few things so I'll already be there.
As for finding it... I have no idea where it is at the moment, I've not had the location confirmed ::) But I would imagine you'll find it easily enough as I know how well most places are signposted well in that area ;)
-

Unless I stick the roof bars on and ......... nah .. maybe not ... :)
-

Normal practice is to supply your own. If there are any emergencies there are a couple of motor factors reasonably close but it will be pot luck on the parts ;)

Reckon I could probably find them still ::) ::) I'm beginning to think I might know where we're going :-X ::)
-
So probably best I get all the bits I might need from Vxl in advance then.
I wonder if they will let me return what I don't need? ::)
Can anyone tell me what time and quantities of ATF and Diff Oil I will need for my 3.2 Elite? Although I'm sure I'll be able to find that info in the maintenance section. :y :y

Whereabouts in Somerset and what favour .... if I end up going to pick up Albs door for him ... I might be near where you need ???
Taunton, I need something bringing from there which may or may not be an 80L lpg tank ::)
Doubt I can do that then !!! with albs door on the back seat and my tools/atf in the 1/2 boot it could get a little cramped.... :)
Unless I stick the roof bars on and ......... nah .. maybe not ... :)

I can get the door in my Estate Nige, plus any other bits, as it sounds as though I needn't bring any tools. HTH :y
I'm "reliably" informed the door goes on the back seat ... now if you want to do a deal over Guffers tank ..... !!!! :)

Likewise, if there is plentiful accommodation I would be quite tempted with the prospect of retiring somewhere local after a beer or two. ::) :-[ Failing that, I'll go home and happily put up a few others. If the mess accommodation doesn't materialise there is a Travelodge a short stagger from my house that's out of the way and normally cheap. Depends what the plan is for a meal afterwards, I suppose.

Right, seems there is enough interest for accomodation. For numbers please indicate below if you need a bed for the night. Not sure hw many are available, maybe a dozen or so, it's first-come first-served

Guffer can I book a bed please assuming there will be a few bears and food after , hopefully curry but what ever goes is fine with me.
Lazydocker, re LPG stuff, I am in two minds. Seems a shame to miss the opportunity if your coming direct from Tilo. But re testing stuff it seems a better bet to test parts on currently converted cars so either fit to Kevins Woods or TB's cars? Mine will need alot of work doing to get it running first and you know what my build times are like. ::) We are dismantling TB's top end anyway for cam cover gaskets...? If that's what you had in mind re testing of course...??? Or did you mean test on a new kit/new install?

If I manage to visit him it may well be fitted to mine already ;) But I was referring to trialling new kit on new car. :-/
TBH the silver bullet may not be the best candidate to test anything on with it's history of complaining after sustained hard driving :-/ Plus, finding suitable space to do a few runs may be an issue.
Perhaps I'll have more answers after I manage to speak to him

Just buy the the handle (about 6 quid) and we'll swap your barrel into it. That way, your key will still lock the glove box. :y

I did the drivers side yesterday (and breather clean) ;) Unfortunately it turned out that Vx only managed to supply me half the number of cam cover gaskets necessary and six times the number of plenum gaskets necessary! (http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1296986211) :(
That'll teach me not to check the package more carefully!

Just a thought... Seeing lots of ATF changes on here I have a couple of thoughts. Firstly, and most importantly, is someone going to bring the "specialist fill tool"?
Secondly, are they OK with us disposing of that much oil or do we need to take it away with us?
Thirdly... And just a thought... Is it worth us trying for a bulk order discount of ATF or are most people sorted now? If doing a bulk order, could we have it delivered to the site?
Just some ramblings ::)

Whilst I'm happy to read and reset codes for free at this meet, I cannot afford to do software updates and activations for free, so I'll have to charge the published rates for those - http://theboy.omegaowners.com
Sorry about this, but these are hugely expensive bits of kit, and I need to recoup some of the several thousand pound outlay on purchasing and maintaining them :-[
But of course... They need to be maintained ;) :y
Sadly, more than many believe - those 32Mb flash cards are over $300 (+ import duty and postage), and don't seem to last long :'(
I think I had to pay circa £120 for a new keypad for mine at the back end of last year..... :'(
-
Secondly, are they OK with us disposing of that much oil or do we need to take it away with us?
I have an empty plastic barrel that I use for waste oil. Will bring it with me and gladly take it away again after. :y
I use it for oil changes and periodically empty it at our local allotment, tip, council recycling centre. They don't seem to know the difference between diesel/engine oil/petrol/brake fluid, so I can't see ATF being an issue. ::)

Anyway..... what day is this Meet on?? ;D is it a friday go home saturday or saturday go home sunday???
And what time do the prison doors open??? ;D ;D ;D ;D

[edit]Oh... Not that useless... I need your help don't I! :-* :-* :-*[/edit]

I have a couple of empty 20l oil containers that I'm happy to bring with me to collect the old ATF, etc in.
I'm up for buying the ATF in bulk if there are enough takers?.... :y

Well so you said ;D ;D ;D
Is there going to be enough tools to enable me to leave mine at home or not?
As my Boyfriend for the night Zok has to shoehorn a bllody boat engine in my car ;D ;D ;D

Not sure TBH... Not going to be bringing much from my tool collection as I can only just lift my top box when healthy!

Can't you get Terry to follow you with the tools in his Capri? ;D
I can bring a selection of tools. Having said that I've managed to knacker my back somehow yesterday. It's bloody contagious. I wouldn't mind if I'd actually done anything other than eat a ruddy great roast dinner and sit around. >:(
Kevin
-
Ok some tools will be brought down then.
Next question as I started to lose the will to live reading through this huge thread ;D ;D BEER.... are we bringing a load with us? or is it as cheap in this Mess whatever that is as Asda?? ;D ;D ;D
Or as my Boyfriend has suggested Guffer has a Tab ;D ;D ;D

Hmmmm.... ::)
(strokes chin ponderously)
perhaps a separate thread for the supplies list for people to put their names
against various group supplies :-/
Less than 3 weeks now! :o 8-)

You can stay the break away from my tab! >:( >:( >:( ;D
The beer in the bar is very very cheap, typically a pound something for a beer and 60-70p for a shot. Plus we wont be able to bring in your own stuff to drink

I had a look for my specialist gearbox filling device and it's not in the garage. Then I vaguely remembered lending it to someone - about 2 years ago. ::)
.. so if anyone sees a cheap killaspray in Aldi/Lidl, etc... :y
.. and to remind me more than anything else:
Diff pinion oil seal, if feeling brave, otherwise top up diff oil ;D
Relocate Lambda sensors / try "anti-fouler" solution.

I got hold of one of these VERY cheaply a few years back:

Never got the chance to try it out though! :D

I've got one but it's a bit mankey inside... Might have a go at cleaning it out when I get a chance

My last one was about a fiver from Aldi/Lidl, IIRC. Take off the spray lance and replace with a bit of microbore tube with a hook shape at one end and job's a good'un. :y 'til I lent it to someone. ::)

As it only cost a couple of quid (literally!), my plan was to remove the nozzle, and fit say a metre of flexible tubing in lieu, then suitably reduce the air line pressure.
Would've obviously 'experimented' out in the open by trying it out with a suitable container first!

I have one exactly the same. Whilst it's great for cleaning things, the problem with using it as a gearbox filler will be that the fluid is drawn out of the pot by the air passing through a venturi, so it will always throw out an atomised mixture of fluid and air.
A killaspray, on the other hand, uses air pressure to force fluid out of the reservoir up the lance where it's atomised by the nozzle. Remove the nozzle and they just deliver fluid. ;)

Point taken Sir .......
When I get a chance, I might just try using the paraffin gun with some Jizer degreasant - and see how it goes!
I'm guessing that it'll be fit for that purpose ;)

TheBoy... CamCover gaskets (MV6)
Sethsmate ... Tech2 chat
Jack86... ATF change and oil and filter, glove box handle and fitting my HID's.
Twiglet... ATF and Diff oil change, move pre-cat lamdas, resolve mis-fire issue (coil-packs/cam cover gaskets), Tech2 chat.
Taxi Al... Cambelt, waterpump, breathers, cruise activation. general service bits if time
aaronjb... Camcover gasket on pass. side & tech2 w/ g/box check/upgrade pretty please
Kieran .... Cam cover gaskets 2.6, Thermostat housing seal also
Shakeng.... Front/rear bush check(may as well do the rears?)
Kevin Wood... Dif seal, Relocate Lambda sensors / try "anti-fouler" solution.
Gives
ATF change x4
dif related x3
Lambda related x2.
Cam cover seals x3
Cam belt/water pump x1(only 1?)
Stat housing x1
Handbrake x1
and a bunch of easy service stuff
Tech2 for most I guess? Guess there will be two present?
So, we have one lift and two pits as I understand it? I reckon they should cover the dif ATF and lambda jobs in a day. ATF should be doable in an hour with proper access and pumpy thing.( two gaskets, ATF and clean the filter). The rest there should be time for in other bays at ground level....? ESP with a Daz bombing round the place. :y
No suspension stuff so far. :)

You're welcome to have a look over mine :y The MOT is due sometime in March so I wouldn't mind getting it up on a ramp to have a quick look over... As for the work on mine... Handbrake and the little bit of wiring repair are most important, very closely followed by the general service items. Unfortunately my back is completely knackered again :'( so I'm going to have to be really careful and probably spend the day as Tea bitch boy/burger flipper ::) So I'll say a big thank you now to the members who have offered to do my work for me :y
Did we get confirmation on it being OK for Tea/Burger?Bacon stuff :-? I could nip to Makro and get a big pack of bacon and rolls if wanted?

It's not due*, but I have a strange swhooshing bearing-on-it's-way-out noise that I can't localise (or haven't, yet) to the accessory belt .. and the last thing I want is the cambelt idler or tensioner to die and eat the engine :)

TBH, I would suggest that people wanting cambelts strip down ready for the belt themselves, then if not confident someone who is can help out :y
The same with other jobs TBH... I'm not really fit to do any major spannering but am willing to wander between cars and advise people if they need it (in between flipping burgers ::)) :y
What do others think?

Yep ;) I have no fear of doing the job myself.. it's just much more fun with other people around to hear me swear when I drop spanners into the engine bay ;D
And it can't be as hard as the Nissan - you don't even get a locking kit for that so you have to time it all up manually and try & hold four cams still on your own. Turns out cam pulleys are sharp and eat into your arms quite well .. who knew? ;D
To be honest I was more thinking about the folks who might not be so handy with spanners and might need assistance from those of us who are - wouldn't want to deprive them of the chance of getting jobs done because I was spending all the time doing my own stuff :)

I reckon we could source a chemical suit on site if we ask nicely. And if done over the pit probably drown in it.

I'll gladly gets my hands dirty stripping oily bits on my or anyone elses cars. :y
Might need some assistance remembering what goes where though. :D

TBH I'd love to get my cambelt/tensioners/waterpump replaced too. I have a vxl dealer receipt showing change at 80k, car now on 99k, but it doesn't mention the waterpump being changed. I guess its just piece of mind at the end of the day. However, I have tried to prioritise the work to be done on the day, based on the limited time we'll have on the day.
On top of this, I'm really not that confident with the spanners (although I'm happy to get stuck in and have a go, if I have someone there to guide me). I just don't want people to think I'm being greedy!!
The thing thats worrying me at the moment, is making sure I have all the parts I will need, ready for the day. And getting the right quality at the right price (very limited budget at the moment!!). I'd be really grateful if an experienced member could guide me through this!
As I'm sure everyone doesn't want to have to read my novice ramblings and questions, if anyone is prepared to help me out, please PM me.
Thanks in advance!! :y :y

TBH I'd love to get my cambelt/tensioners/waterpump replaced too. ... I guess its just piece of mind at the end of the day. ......
Don't worry about it. The only reason for the suggestion here to change the water pump with the cam belt is because you already have stuff stripped to allow the easy replacement of the pump. I wouldn't replace the pump just for the sake of it and certainly not your cam blet after just 20k miles. Its your choice, but I'd leave things as they are ...... don't fix what's not broke. ;)

I wouldn't replace the pump just for the sake of it and certainly not your cam blet after just 20k miles. Its your choice, but I'd leave things as they are ...... don't fix what's not broke. ;)
Cheers Andy, that sounds sensible to me! I'd still like some help with the other bits though... :y

There are some very experienced members attending. The way I see it proceeding, arrive with parts required previously purchased for fitting, cam belt kits, GENUINE ONLY cam cover seals etc. Take advice on how to proceed, do what you can, get stuck, ask advice and so on, if you need your cam timing set there are people to help do that and double check it etc.
It will be a case of all hand to the pump and doing what you can, removing plenums and inlets should be fairly easy and safe for less experienced members and good practice for you guys. From there it gets a bit more tricky and help or advice is it hand. We'll sort it between us, so to speak.
Don't expect to turn up and heve "staff" run around after you obviously, get stuck in do what you can, don't take risks and brake stuff, ask for help from people when available and all should be well.
Suggest a bit of research, check your cam belt history. All vx cam belts are 4years and 40k miles service life. Get the correct part no and cam belt kit complete with tensioner and rollers etc. NOT JUST THE BELT ITSELF.
All levels of ability and experience will be present no doubt, take a learning approach and have a laugh. :y
Looking forward to it now. Make a pleasant change from working on on my poxy bathroom. ;D

If you buy the "KIT" belt, rollers/idlers and tensioner on backing plate will be present. Water pump, aux belt will be extra if required, so parts will be present. Locking kit to set the timing will/should be present at the meet, along with some expertise from Daz, KW, TB etc.

Yep, my parents have one. I can pick it up if required. I assume we have mains power and water? (Have a genny if required but it's not the most efficient way to make tea, and will take up most of my tool-space). ;D
Few other items we might need to consider that I could bring:
Worktop / tables for cooking / tea making?
Mains cables / extension leads required?
Calor Gas grill &/or Hob. Useful if weather scuppers full-on outdoor barbie?
Work lights - assume the more the merrier?
I guess Guffer is best placed to answer the above with reference to the venue facilities.

Reckon I'll probably have a little space in the car, although probably not much as I think I'm collecting a couple of Front End Kits ::) ;)
I doubt I'll bother with any tools, except the locking kit and battery impact gun, as I'm not likely to be able to do anything much :'(
Guffer, are we allowed to use the compressor? I could bring my air ratchet and impact gun if so
-
Worktop / tables for cooking / tea making? Not required, plenty on site alkthough if you want one for next to the BBQ that would need bringing
Mains cables / extension leads required? Pretty useful
Calor Gas grill &/or Hob. Useful if weather scuppers full-on outdoor barbie? Yes, all cooking has to be outdoors although there is a smokers area we can cook in which is covered.
Work lights - assume the more the merrier? Yes, they will be handy although the pit and the lift both have lighting.

No compressor :(
-

Righto... I'll bring the electric impact gun though... Handy for wheel nuts if nothing else :y
Actually... It's probably a bit too powerful to use on anything else :-X ::)

If we need extension leads for power, I have a 300' (I think) extension lead that will blend right in to the surroundings and the cable is rated to be driven/walked over by things that weigh a lot more than an Omega ;D (Harriers, IIRC!)
That should reach from pretty much anywhere to anywhere..

I suppose thats true, Aaron, assuming of course that 'anywhere' and 'anywhere' are always roughly 300' apart... ;D

As said earlier, I have an electric griddle/hotplate thing, ideal for bacon (and eggs if people want an egg sarnie ::)), but around 2kw, so someone would need to bring a suitable extn lead (guffers will confirm length needed).
Are we going to try to coordinate foodstuffs, or just bring our own? There is usually a dreadful waste at OOF meets...
-
Guffers - presumably the workshop is nowhere near bar, so bring soft drinks if whats what we want during day (and sure they dont want oily blokes in bar anyway)?

I can bring my gas one (as used for breakfast at the lakes) then we can set it up anywhere.

I can bring a gas BBQ with a griddle plate, quite happy to do so .. but we don't want to end up with 10 of the damned things .. so a Yeah or Nay would be nice .. :)
Perhaps a list of whos bringing what ?? :)
-
Why don't we start a list of what we have each got? Then one person (probably Guffer) can tick off what he wants everyone to bring, and we'll all know where we stand... Just add items below....

In order to get power outside to a suitable location you will need about 70-80'
And yes no where near a bar or drinks machine

Will bring compressor, air ratchet/gun/10 meter air line etc. 50 meter extension cable, lead light, halfords pro tool kit as usual.
Some nosh/drinks. Is there heat of any sort?

Space heaters? Oh yes!

Think we should co-ordinate the food/drinks side of things... Otherwise, as TB said, we'll end up binning enough food to feed a third world country :-[

Did someone offer a macro/cost co trip? Bacon and egg rolls sound awesome. Obviously will divy up on the day I guess?
Heat sounds good. :y

Can I come please ? :D Hope I'm not being cheeky but I require a little help with my climate control with a Tech2 reader and willing to help out with any donkey work ;D
Edit: Come to think of it, I have another little job I would like some assistance with. A nearside wing mirror glass. I don't mind doing it myself but would need a little encouragment.

PM'd guffer already.
Re: fan speed doesnt slow down when set temp is reached. That said the other day I set it to 22 degrees and I thought it was a bit warmer than that. So I thought a software upgrade or diagnostic might help.

I would like to come to this one or is it to late. I could bring my own tools to help out as at the moment don't think I need any jobs doing but will Know more Friday. I have PM'd Guffer.

Anymore details on what time we have to be there Saturday morning?
What time do we have to be off the place for Sunday?
How much money we need to be paying for the stop over & food?
Sorry to be asking these questions Guffer but thought these would have been answered before now mate, as there cant be just me who needs to sort other things out too :-?

No, not just you, I just this second sent similar by PM ;D

Its sad but true that it could effect if i go. . . We have a four hour drive also to get there. .
:-?
-
Ok, the meet is in Aldershot (exact address to follow) and will start at 10am.
I will send out a detailled instruction to all those on the list this weekend. it is important that the instruction is followed so that you dont get turned away at the gate.
The rooms come out at £10 which includes brunch the next day. The in-house curry was going to be too expensive but they are ok for us to get a take-out and bring it in.
I would like to propose that we all chip in and get a deal from a local curry house that I know well. Or we could all go out to a resturant but we have nearly 20 people interested in curry thus finding somewhere that can do a table that size may be difficult.
What does everyone think about the curry?

I'm easy regarding curry, but eating near the accomodation might be more convenient (drink driving an all that). A big chip-in works for me, either specified dishes, or a selection that we all tuck into. What about drink with meal? Do we need to bring something, or is the bar close by?
Do you need money for anything upfront?
Sorry for all the questions, just trying to get myself organised :y
-
If we all chip-in you're talking 10-15 quid each plus the tenner for accomodation. You will need cash for the bar but at £1.20ish for a pint you dont need much to get rat-arsed, especially Daz ;D ;D
Once the curry house get back to me I'll know more exact and will send out emails asking for monies, hopefully tonight :y

Just make sure you don't leave anything out .. I'm sure we'd all rather put a £1 or 2 extra into the pot to ensure your costs are covered. Once it's all done and dusted and you know where you stand it can be sorted out very easily .. :) ( I like it when osifers buy a round .. :) )
And once again .. many thanks for all your have done/are doing :y :y :y
-
I'll second that E! Cheers for all your work Guffer :y :y
Chip in for the take-away sounds like a cracking plan, as long as everyone else is OK with that ;)
Should be OK to come with the prices you're talking about... SWMBO has told me to go even after the MOT balls up and bill :( :y :y
-
Do you want the cash when we get there Guffer or sent it through Paypal?
A curry is great with me whatever is easiest mate. :y

Curry is a winner for me... Not something I can eat regularly at home due to SWMBO's allergies

All sounds good to me, Guffer. :y
Your efforts are appreciated. :y

bacon rolls on the BBQ for lunch and a curry in the evening sounds like a winner to me .. :)
As the BBQ bit went very quiet I intend to bring mine anyway, just to be sure there is one .. :) It will be available for anyone to use .... :)
Is there a kettle available for coffee etc ??

Hmm... Must sort the bacon stuff actually! Am I supposed to be nipping into Makro to grab a couple of catering packs of bacon or not? Also... Bread or rolls? Sauces? Tea and coffee stuff? Case of Coke (or something else if everyone prefers)?
Don't mind grabbing it all if people want me to, I'm bound to have a "Price List" somewhere from when I've done charity refreshments :-X ::)
-
IMHO ... food wise .. probably best if folks bring their own, saves a whole load of waste / shortages /wrong stuff !! But if you want to get some stuff and
make a fortune flogging it run the canteen .. I have no problem with that .. :)

Not really good for anything spanner work wise at the moment (although I'll happily sit on someone's shoulder to advise and give moral support), hence having to pay someone to do the MOT work, so think I'm in charge of the griddle. Sure someone was bringing a griddle and a water boiler... I'll make sure I've got a tea pot (tastes so much better made in a pot!) if that's what people want
I'm happy for all to bring their own if people want to, just thought that I'd offer to grab a bulk lot and split the cost if people wanted :y
-
bacon rolls on the BBQ for lunch and a curry in the evening sounds like a winner to me .. :)
As the BBQ bit went very quiet I intend to bring mine anyway, just to be sure there is one .. :) It will be available for anyone to use .... :)
Is there a kettle available for coffee etc ??
Don't worry about the barbie if it's a problem, Nigel. I have a table top folding grill that will be perfect for Bacon butties and I believe TheBoy is bringing something similar.
I can borrow an electric urn for brews. Reminds me. I must pick it up this weekend. ::)
Kevin
-
I did offer the services of my barbie too IIRC - still quite happy to bring it :) (Either of them - small round or larger square)
-
I'll bring some disposable cups - I have around 70 left over from a previous event. And paper plates etc.
So are we bringing our own (daytime) food? I'm easy either way, but obviously need to know, as will have to go to shops. I know Lazydocker has been volunteered to be chef.
Way I see it:
Cooking facilities - Kevin Wood (gas griddle)/TheBoy (electric griddle - aaronjb bringing extn lead)
Hot water facilities - Kevin Wood (Urn)
Disposable cups/plates - TheBoy
Food (bacon/bangers/egg/rolls) - somebody to get, or we bring own??
Butter/sauces - daft us all bringing some??
Teabags ???
Coffee ???
Sugar ???
Soft drinks - I picked up a load of coke from costco earlier, but probably not enough to go around (think it was a 30 pack).
Ought else?

I shall be attending...I'll bring along a box of 24 diet cokes, 24 regluar cokes and some other bits and pieces.
I'll also bring some burgers and sausages.
I've got a Halfords 150pc tool set, and bits and pieces which I'm more than happy to bring.
I'll bring my car cleaning stuff aswell and anything else I use for preparing cars.
Whichever vehicle I bring will otherwise be fairly empty, so am happy to take other bits if required :y

I just hope he doesn't turn up with the 3.2 Estate... There's a danger I may want to start counting the pennies in the piggy bank ::)
But collecting the Take away in the Bentley would be funny :D
Incidentally... I don't know the area brilliantly but am willing to play fetch if no-one else volunteers, although that may not be the best idea if my back is still bad :-/ Can always drive if someone else wants to lend a hand ;)

The estate is now sold Paul, so have no fear :D
It'll be either a 2005 1.6 Focus, or the Bentley...my Omega has been sat for 3 weeks since I last used it and the RFL has expired.
So Nige and Paul you may get your wish, and I agree it would be funny, although I don't want to appear to be a complete moron turning up in a Bentley ;D

Oh, forgot to mention I'm more than happy to pick up curry, drive around etc. I don't drink, except diet coke ;D so I'm always driving my friends around etc, and usually drive for the Brackely curry evenings if TB has helped me out. So, yep no problem driving!

Not sure if I'm pleased about that or not :-/ :-/ But pleased for you :y :y
If you bring the Bentley we'll all have to chip in for the fuel....... By the time we've all had a Test Drive :-X ::) :D
Just don't let Chris take it for one....... It'll come back with a lot less fuel than it left with :-X :-X :-X :D :D :D

Fuel :D well, £60 got me 102 miles, mix of motorway driving and country lanes driving carefully.
It's best not to look at the fuel guage really :P

Way back in the early 70's when I was a lowly Sgt on the sqn, one of the guys (a FS) found and bought a 1920's RR that had been a chicken coop, and spent a lot of time and money doing it up. His "normal" transport being a very battered mini-van. One day that blew up, and he had no money to repair it having just spent all his cash having the RR rear seat recovered in Connelly hide. So he started to use the RR to get to work and back. On the 4th day he was called in by the sqn boss ( a Wg Cdr) to explain. He was then given £150 from the "sqn fund" to get the mini fixed .... seems the Wg Cdr was getting serious ear bending from the Station Commander ( a Grp Capt) over this vintage RR being driven by a FS ... :)
Politics of envy ??? :)

I know somebody who commissionned into one of the posh regiments. Day one he drove into work and noticed all the porsches and audis, he promptly left and went to a ferrari dealership, paid cash for a 2nd hand 360 and returned to work.
He just had to have the best car in the mess car park :o

It will be easier with the lift / pits we will have available, plus a few blokes around to help with lifting.
I haven't really got a handle on how much work is planned against how many available to do it. It's certainly do-able.

Thanks to Guffer I will now be there on Saturday. Paul the black estate will be coming and you can drive it if you like but don't think you are taking it home as I have only had her 3 days 8-) 8-) 8-) ::). as she will be 8 years old in March I will be doing a few jobs on her first then you can have a drive. Sorry that Daz is not now going

Right, some movement on the confirmed list this weekend, people dropping of, more added... anyways some still require action in regards to getting VRN, full name and whether you need accomodation and/or curry.

well it looks like y'all will be seeing me as well.
I'm down in hte South on business, so have arranged to swing by on my way home for the Saturday.
Haven't anything specific to do on the car, but I might be tempted to install self-levelling if I'm not busy.
Still, I'm up for a transmission change or pretty-much anything else.
Bringing cam-locking tool and corner-weight scales.
Kev - it's only me, and I'll stop Friday night just round the corner from you 8-)

I'm heading down from Suffolk, and was planning to come round the south side of the M25 in a bid to avoid the roadworks.
I'm happy to meet up at Clacket Lane if others are... :y

Cool, well we can't be there before 10am so how about 9am?
Meet in the petrol station, there's an area to the far left of the forecourt where I've met others on previous car events.

That was real? I thought nothing could be that bad, and that it must have been some kind of drug induced nightmare :o
On the upside, Guffer's place has a roof, so at least you won't be laying in puddles for several hours ;D

On reflection, I think I'll leave the box change to be done at home to allow for the inevitable hiccups, and where I can afford to have it AOG if necessary. Thanks for the offers anyway. I'm hoping that there may be a sucker helpful chap, local to me, at the meet, willing to give me a hand at home sometime. ::) ::) ::)

That is the problem, as I'm not, I would hate to put helpers in the position of using up beer & curry time trying to get me away. I do really think it makes more sense to do it here at my leisure, as it is not urgent, and as some of the jobs clearly will be. Thanks anyway guys, and I really look forward to meeting you all. :y :y :y

OK , So what do we need then in the catering department????? I do have a gas BQ here which I can bring along if it helps as my boot is going to be empty.

Think the cooking facilities are sorted now, as long as the long extension lead turns up ::)
Speaking of cooking... I think it's best if we all supply our own. I'm happy to burn cook anything as required but, as there was no rush for a mass buying of food, I'll be bringing my own and let you lot sort yourselves out :y :y
-
I'II be bringing my own food. Do we have a BBQ to cook on??
I have a very long extension lead in the back of the car which I will be bringing along.
Also is someone bringing a V6 cam locking kit??

I think I'm all ready for the big event!!
I've got all the parts I need. However I've just been reading a post that says its essential t do an oil/filter change if you're doing the cam cover gaskets and cleaning the breathing system, because of all the carb cleaner!!
Is this the case? I hadn't planned on doing an oil/filter change so I don't have the parts, and I'm not gonna have chance to get them now before Saturday! :-/
-
After discussion with Lazytinker, we reckon its better if everyone brings their own food. Lazytinker has
been forced kindly agreed to be chef.
He's going to be cooking on a gas griddle and an electric griddle, so guess bacon sarnies/baps are easiest, or sausages (from experience, chipolatas tend to cook better on griddles that fat sausages). I guess he can do burgers on griddles as well.
Hope thats OK with everyone :y

I have 20ltrs of both full and semi at the moment I will put both in just incase. I will bring my own food for the day and have ordered CURRY at night. Almost have all the parts as had a cock up end of last week with car pass but am on track now and due to pick up more parts Thursday with trade card, If I don't get all the jobs done this weekend will just have to do later but misfire issue last week and cam belt need doing as car is 8 years old in March so due cam belt. Misfire may have been down to low voltage? would like to check breathers and cam covers so will have the parts on me and if don't need can let go at cost if anyone needs them. How often do we do ATF? Have large set of tools which will be with me. May need advice on cam belt and use of locking kit please. Have a few other parts in garage will put them in. will need Tech2 check TB if you have time please but don't have correct car pass yet so don't know how much you can do without it, may be another visit to yours later or at next Oxford meet? :y

Hope thats OK with everyone :y
Has this Lazytinker guy got any food hygiene qualifications? :-?
;D
I know not to pick my nose and scratch my balls whilst cooking... Does that help? ::) ::) :D :D
Well, if you want to do both, use different hands or it'll do that back no good at all. ;D

Hopefully, Mrs Lazydocker has passed on some of her talents...
Not likely... I'm banned from the kitchen for a reason :-X ::)
Although I'm getting quite good at operating the Kenwood and sampling the finished results :D :D
I reckon I'll be smelling Brownies cooking tomorrow evening ::)

I think I'm all ready for the big event!!
I've got all the parts I need. However I've just been reading a post that says its essential t do an oil/filter change if you're doing the cam cover gaskets and cleaning the breathing system, because of all the carb cleaner!!
Is this the case? I hadn't planned on doing an oil/filter change so I don't have the parts, and I'm not gonna have chance to get them now before Saturday! :-/
Depens how badly blocked they are. The bit thats relevant to oil changes is the breather box behind pot 5. "If" thats fairly clear, or doesnt need too much carb cleaner then should be fine......."if"...?
So if we start the job at that point we can decide weather to proceed further depending.?

Thanks to TB, LD, Jim and Chris for your replies! Sounds like between you guys, you have thought of everything!
I shall bring all the parts that I've got, and hopefully if I've missed anything, the gaps can be filled!
LD, I'll definately take you up on your offer of sitting on my shoulder and talking me through things if you don't mind? That is if it doesn't effect your cheffing duties... :y

Yep... No problem :y I'll be having a wander around anyway ;)

I will be bringing a couple of spare fuel filters and a handful of oil/air filters anyway, if anyone is short. And some oil. Current TC prices apply - sorry, I'm not a charity :-[
I aimed to pick up a load of carb cleaner, but Bletchley Halfords is staffed by Bletchley residents, and thus stocking anything useful is too complicated for them. I have 4 or 5 cans though, so if anyone is short on the day, I *may* have some I'm not using - though if people get through whole cans of the stuff, a contribution would be appreciated ;)
-
Right I've just been to the Local Dealers and I've got myself a new Thermostat and O rings as I think the one thats fitted has a fault so along with the cambelt kit & water pump etc and oil & filter change I've got quite a few job to do :)
-
Is Halfords the best place for carb cleaner as I will be going for more parts in the morning, how many is normal for a good clean? there web site said £4.99 a can or do they do a deal.
-

The Wyns stuff as around £5.50 retail, comes in around £3 on halfords trade.
I'd say 1 or 2 cans might not be enough if they are bad...
-
Don't have a trade card for halford's and at the moment have no idea how bad they are as have not stopped working since i got the mig last week but will pick up 4. :y thanks TB
-
Hey Joff! Looking forward to get getting some 'twins' shots of our cars at the weekend! I know it sounds sad but I don't care!! :y
-
Nearly set for Saturday. :y
A bit sore after picking the bits up :o. , but do have all the bits for the day. I'll just be working on the oily bits, though. Cruise can wait. Will bring some carb cleaner and a load of blue rolls and bin bags.
Will also pick up 6 pints of milk on the way over. :y
-
I won't bother grabbing milk then ::) ::)
Just out of interest... Have we got any headlamp lens cleaning gurus coming ::) ::)
-
If anyone without a TC or Halfords Card needs anything else, let me know and I will collect tomorrow and bring on Sat. :y :y :y
-
What I could really do with is someone helping me get a Halfords TC card! There must be a way!!

They won't be genuine Vx but I might have to pop and get some today because I've got a couple out as well... I've got to remove my stereo for the Tech2 to communicate so may as well change them at the same time ::)

I put this off to the last minute but ultimately it looks like I won't be able to make it on Saturday, now, as something has come up that needs taking care of :-/
Do you guys need my 300' extension reel? If so I can drop it off with Kevin/Chris/someone else local tomorrow so it's there on Saturday..
-
FAO the 'suspension gurus' ..........
Anyone ever changed anti-roll bar bushes and fancy giving me a hand to do 'em at the meet? :D
There doesn't seem to be easy access to the captive bolts, and I've just found a pair of Poly-bushes that've been buried in my workshop for some time now.

O rings go round the bolts holding cam covers on, need more than 4 though, 16 in total iirc???
Not sure on cam cover gaskit no. :-/
Its rare to need to replace inlet gaskits, but if anyting its the inlet manifold to plastic bridge gaskit thats relavant. Unless you know theres an issue with inlet gaskits dont worry about it imo.
Just bring gm cam cover gaskits, o rings and black goo. :y

I'll try to swing by a Halfords or something tomorrow and get some unless someone else has a spare 10?

Joff, I've just got the complete kit from AndyC (Vxl parts manager and top man on OOF)
I can go and check the part no. of all the bits in the kit if you need me to?
One thing though, the very last 3.2's have different cam cover gaskets. AndyC checked mine from my reg no. Might just be worth checking if you haven't already? :y
-
Mine is not one of the last ones but he said he could not find a number fo 3.2's so may have used the one for 2.6. can you pm me the numbers and I will check with what I have. Thanks :y
-
Got all my bits from Vauxhall Parts World earlier today, so will be loading up the car with all and sundry tomorrow ready for the day out on Saturday :)
-
Looks like I wont be able to make it due to work. :(
Have fun
-
Sorry to hear you can't make it though... Nothing too serious I hope
Nothing serious, just an unexpected reshuffling of plans to accommodate things that are happening sooner than expected - partly my own fault and partly that the tree surgeon gave me a timescale of 'now, or in 5 weeks' and it had to be 'now' :-/
Could i pick it up on the way through sat morning?
Yep that's no problem - I've got to be here to get ready for the aforementioned tree surgeon anyway :) I'll PM you my number & address, just give me a bell when you set off.
-
I can pop in to Halfords tomorrow LD, if you can tell me what to get. :y
Thanks... I'll be passing 2 or 3 anyway so probably just as easy for me to pop into one :y

Chrisgixer. dif and ATF change.
Entwood ... ATF change & Tech2 check of gearbox software
Lazydocker... Oil and filter change, fuel filter, clean ICV, repair wiring to Outside Temp Sensor and (most importantly!) sort sticking handbrake.
TheBoy... CamCover gaskets (MV6)
Sethsmate ... Tech2 chat
Jack86... ATF change and oil and filter, glove box handle and fitting my HID's.
Twiglet... ATF and Diff oil change, move pre-cat lamdas, resolve mis-fire issue (coil-packs/cam cover gaskets), Tech2 chat.
Taxi Al... Cambelt, waterpump, breathers, cruise activation. general service bits if time
aaronjb... Camcover gasket on pass. side & tech2 w/ g/box check/upgrade pretty please
Kieran .... Cam cover gaskets 2.6, Thermostat housing seal also
Shakeng.... Front/rear bush check(may as well do the rears?)
Kevin Wood... Dif seal, Relocate Lambda sensors / try "anti-fouler" solution.
Gives
ATF change x4
dif related x3
Lambda related x2.
Cam cover seals x3
Cam belt/water pump x1(only 1?)
Stat housing x1
Handbrake x1
and a bunch of easy service stuff
Tech2 for most I guess? Guess there will be two present?
So, we have one lift and two pits as I understand it? I reckon they should cover the dif ATF and lambda jobs in a day. ATF should be doable in an hour with proper access and pumpy thing.( two gaskets, ATF and clean the filter). The rest there should be time for in other bays at ground level....? ESP with a Daz bombing round the place. :y
No suspension stuff so far. :)
Where's best place to get ATF sumps gaskets?
I've only just seen this post, and stealer is unable to get rear bushes until Tuesday, so scratch that off the list. Sorree! :( :( :(
-
All set now, Have checked with andyC and I have the correct parts. All going well will be doing the following.
1. Cam belt
2. Water pump
3. Cam cover gaskets
4. Breathers
5. Oil and filter
6. Plugs
7. System check with Tech2(please TB )
a long list but hope I will be able to finish it all otherwise it will be under the car on the drive on Monday. The misfire was back yesterday morning but not so bad, will be looking for that oil around plug No.2. See you all Saturday, looking forward to it. :y :y
-
I think I've got all my parts:
Cam Belt Kit
Oil Filter & Oil
New Thermostat & O Rings etc
VX Coolant
