General Car Chat / rattle and roll
« on: 22 November 2011, 10:06:42 »
the gear box rattle
couple of questions anyone that remebers newent and the knock on start up etc i ve put the two bolts in that were missing that go through the gearbox into the engine (i think) since then theres a rattle from the gearbox sounds like tappets
http://s1086.photobucket.com/albums/j449/paullovejoy/?action=view¤t=001.mp4
going to take the bolts out too see if it stops as the car drove perfect except for the clonkinging noise at start up
I should add car has not been used since newent
bit worried about driving the car 250 to 300 miles to Daz with the tapping noise any suggestions ie car transporter etc are they loads of money or is there any alternatives was thinking AA but i would have to go with car and have a good excuse why they should take it there

General Car Chat / Darth Loo-Knee and the force
« on: 17 August 2011, 06:23:40 »
ok hes not 6ft 6 in a black mask cape etc more like 5ft 10 stocky tracky bottoms and pink sandles (yes pink) and a tool for everything
After lots of recomendations by forum members i thought i would make the 500 mile round trip and get Daz to do the work need on my omega a lot of miles and long day but not a massive bill with lots of extras and charges at the end of it
Daz carried out a complete belt replacement full service overhauld rear brakes and changed the starter motor plus lots of other bits that i am sure he did not charge for
Absolute pleasure spending the day with him excellent advice and chat and i learnt quite a bit about the car even though i got sent to the back seat to have a kip as i kept falling asleep.
The car is now awsome it flies silky smooth plus an extra 3-4 mpg when i can keep the speed down which is hard now as the car is so responsive
you may think i must be nuts to travel 500 miles but its was worth every mile watching parts removed cleaned greased and put back, nothing was too much trouble and the results speak for themeselves excellent
genuine honest bloke thanks Daz
