General Discussion Area / Help required with daughters degree (short survey)
« on: 14 April 2023, 19:39:37 »
Hi all could I please ask a favour and get you to fill out a quick survey to help my daughter with her university course. It is only 10 questions and should take less than a couple of minuets, it doesn't require any personal info (other than age range).

TIA

Omega General Help / Re: It's only a small hole........
« on: 24 September 2020, 19:31:10 »Snap. Doing pretty much the same to mine. I noticed a small area next to the reinforcing plate, started prodding away and ended up with taking the plate off the steering box out and 3 layers of steel removed.
Just have to put it all back in now.
That was not going to happen.
I did think about just smearing some seam sealer over it and putting it in for a test but it's been off the road for 2 1/2 years now and I can do it myself so a bit longer isn't going to matter. I know there is also a bit on the osf inner sill lip that needs doing (and the rear wheel arches) but other than that it doesn't seem too bad..
I'm sure it will be worth it eventually.

Well got it out. Access isn't great but you don't have to remove the down pipe but the starter does have to come off
It looks like it should come out easily but it does fight you.
Onward with the rust repair now.

Does anyone have any experience of removing the steering box?
Haven't really looked at it yet but was wondering if there was any issues /any tips on removing it.
Thanks

Touched it for the first time in 2 1/2 years.
Found more rust than I was expecting so started stripping it ready for repair.

« on: 04 May 2020, 21:15:26 »
As above are there any members in or near St Helens with a B&Q tradepoint card who would be willing to get something for me and post it?
They happen to be the only depot in the country that list having this particular item in stock at a price that is over 50% cheaper than i can get it anywhere else.
Thanks

Nope I've still got my rare silver mv6 and it's definitely not the same. 
Shame because if it was I'd know what paint to get.

« on: 18 April 2020, 22:25:57 »Seeing as I am telepathic, I would say Lightning Silver...What colour is it?
Log book says silver but i would say grey
Having done a quick google search you could be right. Its only for the sills so might just order a can and hope for the best..
Thanks for that

That's what i thought the answer would be. Was hoping there might have been another way as the local dealer is shut and so it seems are most of the paint/body shops.
Oh well it will just have to wait, just hoping to get it done whilst its quiet.

« on: 18 April 2020, 20:28:25 »I'm assuming that the stick on B Pillar Vin Plate is missing but isn't there another one showing the paint code on the slam panel when the bonnet is open.
Nope.
Only sticker anywhere on the car is the aircon info sticker on the slam panel .
