« on: 29 November 2013, 13:05:50 »

Im pretty sure you guys seen yesterdays listing on Auto trader, Silver 3.2 02 mV6 Auto with apparently 740000 on the clock £995. Before anyone say a Link would be good, sorry my computer skills . Rang this morning of its GONE , no mention of servicing + No Tax. If she was that good, hope it was an O.O.F er that got her. I was thinking that could have been a cheap up grade, but dont tell the wife, wonder would she have noticed the difference in the dark anyway

General Car Chat / It was worth it

« on: 22 November 2013, 18:10:54 »

V6 Thermostat change, after much F-------- + blinding got it done even managed to some how magically to lose the plug and its little loom for the Idle speed adjuster under Plenum that engine bay   breath, hold and Exxxhale. Thank God I took off the Plenum again a further check with Mr Led Lenser revealed a Leaf sitting on the valves and yes I used kitchen roll at all stages. but credit to engine,only 11 of the 12 sandwich plate bolts are torqued, 1 is knackered and it still runs sweet

General Car Chat / Diy or not

« on: 03 November 2013, 16:38:16 »

2 weeks ago I replaced the thermostat in process of re assembly, 1 of the sandwich plate bolts decided to strip itself and before anyone says "The what Plate" its the plastic divider plate between cylinder heads and intake manifold held in place by 12 bolts, or in my case 11 .
Is the helicoil really a Diy affair, as Ive checked out The U Tube video and it looks involved, Poxy Bolt  Ps the Mig is running like a bucket of spanners.

Omega General Help / The B Bolt again

« on: 27 October 2013, 16:59:08 »

 After yesterdays nightmare changing a thermo on a v6 but to be honest guys I learned alot you never forget your mistakes. Next time will be quicker and more precise,judging by the issue with 1 bolt on the sandwich plate probably alot sooner Anyway the B BOLT does anyone know what size it is and where to obtain a shorter version

Omega General Help / Not Good.

« on: 26 October 2013, 18:33:00 »

Where do I start Thermo stat on a v6 a complete pain, putting it mildly. Job a bit of disaster really, 1 of the sandwich plate bolts would not tighten, feels like its stripped . B Bolt well  that engine bracket dropped out, could not get it back in and can see it acts as spacer for that dam bolt, in the end  managed to get the poxy bolt in but only tightened finger tight. Enough damage for one day It started no problem, but I wont be driving it

Coopers of Stortford wont be buying from them again. ordered 3cree hand held spot lamp rechargable 2 weeks ago, would have been quicker to buy direct from China. they say up to 28 days for delivery, they mean it, absolute awful service. compared to Torch Direct, Led Lenser p7.2 ordered pm day b4 on doorstep next day with standard delivery

General Car Chat / wheres home

« on: 18 October 2013, 16:55:26 »

I passed Vauxhall Luton on the way up to Hitchen this morning, I recollect many moons ago, this was the home of the Vectra. Now its the home of the Vivaro, not my favorite van . I know all the boffins on here probably know this but not yours trully. Where is the home of the Omega, is there one?
