You should invest in a set because they do come in handy.

You'd be amazed how many jobs you need them for.

Yes, there is plenty of cable for re-routing, that's what i done.

As long as you keep it away from the manifolds, and cable tie it up properly it'll be fine.  

Next time it needs done it'll be a 10 minute job now.

Omega General Help / Re: ! Help ! - drivers door remains locked

If the lock has been stiff and unlubed the plastic drive will be broken inside the motor/solenoid, as per my previous post.

It's a 15 minute job to change it, the hardest part is removing the panels.

Remember and grease it all up when you fit the new one so the same doesn't happen.

The plastic affair used inside the solenoids/motors are quite delicate and can be broken easily on a stiff mechanism/lock assembly.

I've seen this trouble before, changing the solenoid and a good lube should do the trick.  

It's the same unit that's on a Calibra, for reference.

You'll get the 31 - Crank sensor if the engine is not running.

The 59, are you sure the connector is located correctly at the back of the manifold?

Mow much more economy does ECO actually give you?

Well when stationary Inst. Consumption shows.....

0.3 to 0.4 gallons per hour with ECO off (Aircon On)

0.2 to 0.3 gallons per hour with ECO on (Aircon Off)

So it does make a difference, but the benefits of having Aircon running far outweigh the marginal improvement i reckon.

No probs.  

The only thing that annoys me about going down there is that i'm never allowed to wash my car due to the hose pipe ban.  

I don't ever have that problem up here.

Hey Brian,

Where abouts in Bexley are you?

My brother in law stays in Bexley, just outside the village, across from where the hospital used to be. Built fancy houses there now.

Usually down there a few times through the year visiting.

Yep, i'm about 450-500 with Aircon off.  

Does idle nice and smooth though, when you're in the car you can hardly tell it's running.

I tend to have my Aircon on though cos when it's not and it's at lower revs i sometimes get "roll-back" when on steep hills.

And that won't do.  

Plus, the air just feels fresher with Aircon on. Even up here.

I did try that, but the problem seams electrical. Tested with a multimeter....

Should that not read 'Tested with a hammer'?
