It is interesting that you should say that. I had a similar conversation with autovaux recently. when I asked for genuine gaskets he said he had some that were made in the same factory as GM ect.. ect.. I then said I had heard that after market gaskets are prone to leakage, and he replied " we used to have a problem with complaints about inferior gaskets but since we have sourced these from Elring who make gaskets for GM we havent had any problems" A set of cam cover gaskets duly arrived in a bag marked 'Elring' but I was a bit disconcerted when I realised that there were 2 pairs of gaskets moulded together and I would have to seperate them with a stanley knife.
They looked more like they had come out of a lucky bag than a factory that makes genecticaly modified gaskets.

Exactly, you have had them from new, mine have always been at least 9 yrs oldQuoteNo. Buy a Merc if you want reliable. if you want something to do and you dont play golf then buy an Omega, it will give you many happy hours of fault finding & rectifying ect..
You must have purchased bad ones then, they are not like that in my expierience and i have had omegas since the introduction in 94.
seriousley though, I agree they are normaly very reliable, but this latest one of mine is keeping me very busy!

Never mind about the door mirrors and LED'S ect, How about getting hold of some old style Trafficators off a 1940's car and grafting them on to your B posts? they would be sure to get you noticed

Dont do sky!! they are thieves and notoriously difficult and obstructive to deal with. Not only that, if you have endless repeats of crap to watch you will just sit on the sofa and stagnate when you could be in the garage/pub/Brothel ,or even walking the dog.
I promised them I would give them some bad publicity whenever and wherever I could last time they ripped me off
