can anybody tell me if the pipe that goes from the hbv valve to the engine is pain to do cos mine has just gone pop and when it went i had no heating and car was smoking like hell,and temp was on 100 degrees

Access is the issue... Remove the plenum and possibly the scuttle (although with the plenum off you may not need to) and Robert is your Mother's Brother

Pipe will probably be special order And don't forget you'll need to top the coolant up with a 50:50 mix

Now then Geoff! Omega ownership is character building, you will come out of this with a much lighter wallet but with the priceless ability to take everything in your stride mate  ....................................Probably!

once the scuttle & wiper assembly is out of the way there's loads-ish of room to do the hbv, no need to remove the plenum too

it was the pipe that comes of the hbv that goes in the back of the engine the single one had blowen where it fits on to the engine,so had to strip[ it all but all sorted now
