Omega General Help / Re: Battery terminal clamp - dumb question cos I'm an idiot!

« on: 21 January 2018, 12:45:50 »

Dont really understand the question if Im honest, correct clamp on the correct terminal is a perfect and correct termination, anything else or wrong clamp will just be a bodge. 

I'm good at bodging...

I managed to break the battery clamp when fitting my new battery! IDIOT!
I have a new one on order but what's the best way to make the clamp fit the terminal post? Should I file down the post or maybe try to make the clamp bigger again & use heat this time?

General Car Chat / Re: Should we as OOF be buying up all the Omegas to preserve

Think all members should forget Omegas & move on to a V8 of some kind, you know it makes sense 😀😁😂

That's what I plan to do next. 

Can you run one of those on cooking oil Albs?

I'm not giving up my diesel estate...it's been great & I still enjoy driving it & using it for every practical purpose known. 
I also like the fact I'm driving something not often seen - I'm sure the Audi estates are much much better but they are everywhere & I wouldn't go for one for that reason.

Thanks for all the replies...useful information there.
I am gonna have to dig deeper but have decided to go with the sprinter...XLWB high roof. We saw a couple yesterday & they seem solid, well built & are very nice to drive. One of those I looked at, had 319000 miles on it but still looked very good. I'm not gonna buy it, of course, I think it will be a false economy & I can't be dealing with unreliability or roadside breakdowns.
There is I believe, an extra high roof version but thankfully discovered that even though I'm 6'3" I can stand up straight in the back of the high roof version.
They are huge in the back, the overhang at the rear seems mental & so now I need to find one, which everyone tells me, will be difficult. To make it even harder, I would prefer one that isn't white; maybe silver or blue but I suspect I will probably end up conceding that choice.

General Car Chat / Vans.... any experts?

« on: 20 January 2018, 11:22:50 »

I am in the market for a van. It is the first I will have ever purchased & therefore my experience is zero!
Leaving shortly to go & look at a Mercedes Sprinter 314 & 313.
I'm not buying today but need a hands on experience!
I need as big an interior space as possible & good fuel economy.
I have shortlisted it down to 3: Mercedes Sprinter XLWB High roof; Ford Transit same size; Iveco which is bigger still.
Anyone got a view on these?: good, bad, avoid completely, tips etc etc

I will be online again this salvo!
