Got the Omega window mechanism working on The Austin, O what fun was had. Made 20x20 box into 20x8 with a slot up middle (as per the size of the adjustable bit) and welded a plate to it that bolts to the VW channel that fits to the glass. First side took 2 days but drivers side less than one day as I knew what to do/make. Getting very close to a road test now.

YG03FNV. I've been looking at Matthewsons auctions results for June, a very nice looking metallic blue 3.2 Omega sold for £5,500 a good price for one with not a very good MOT history.

They pull like a train to around 125mph, then have a very slight lag for a few mph and then pull like a train again to the speed limiter.Allegedly. So you heard down the pub. Or a mate told you. I was based in Munich at the time on project work, honestly officer. ![]() |

Should add that I had the full chain kit, bearings, pump etc on mine at 137K for peace of mind, no chain rattle and when the camcover was removed the internals were spotless (I change the oil every 5K and use genuine filter and Liqui Moly specific oil) and the chain showed little signs of stretching. You hear of cars with half the mileage rattling like a skeleton in a biscuit tin, but infrequent oil changes and driving them like you stole them from cold are probably the cause in my opinion.

It's a brilliant combination the N57 with a ZF 8 Speed in the 530D. Absolutely love driving mine, its a bit too effortless sometimes! Things to watch out for and fix on F10 / F11's are headlights, timing chains (realistically full uprated genuine BMW timing chain kit, all the bearings and oil pump is the way to go but expensive), don't skimp on discs and pads either.... worn front tension arms give wheel vibration issues that feel just like warped discs. It sounds like expensive stuff but its par the course on a big barge with a big diesel engine in it. |
