Omega General Help / Re: Is estate cabin air out vent in n/s or o/s boot wing?

« on: 10 August 2017, 08:02:52 »

Your right, I didnt need to take my bumper off my estate when I had it. (I couldnt even find a pic on the net of an omega with no rear bumper on)

But what I posted is true for most cars unless you know of any bar the omega

I swear by a maplins own 2.4a usb charger, snapdragon detector enables compatible devices to fast charge, my s6 for example takes 35 or so minutes to charge when its dead as a dodo.
I wouldnt recommend heavy usage while charging as the phone gets way hot

I was working as a baker in tesco's when the hudl came out, all the managers had babies arm over it

The link to the charger

and 4.8a which I may get next due to the extra ports

Very good at burning maybe 

Good design though to cheat the tax class

General Car Chat / Re: Is a sunroof a good idea?

« on: 09 August 2017, 12:34:32 »

I had a sunroof on my 2.5cdx and on my e36 coupe, always used them, they are actually quieter than using the door windows.

I see loads of people with expensive motors that drive with the windows down, and I cant work out why theyd have the ac on with them down?

The flaps are on the opposite side to the exhaust,
if you slam the boot lid youll make them jump (possibly be able to spot them if you look up under the bumper)

You shouldnt be able to block them, its got a grill and the flaps move outward like a dryer vent

« on: 09 August 2017, 00:16:31 »

I read that the c18xe uses the same inlet and exhaust (L cams)

Supposedly the inlet cam on x20xev but I dont know

I do know that the x20xer has much higher lift that requires dished pistons so its a no go.

What I want to know, would there be any gains in having either two inlets or exhaust cams?

« on: 08 August 2017, 20:55:16 »

I found an interesting picture of a C18XE
 It seems to have 2 exhaust cams, Im sure that the X20XER had the same

Is this what gives the extra power like the g cams in a 2.5?
Obviously with the egr capped off

You may need to check the rods and flaps, the rear blower is just a channel like the ones under the the front seats

Edit: I said rods but its vacuum operated, check the vac lines

Have you ever opened up a refill before?

Refill shops are a con but for the price its ok for ink and not toner

You'll be suprised by the emptyness inside and a small sponge

I have a pretty old laserjet and the toner is still £100 for genuine and about £20 for aftermarket lol but the genuine one has been in and is still working after 20yrs, had to give it a good shake though

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: Disable passenger airbag?

« on: 06 August 2017, 22:06:30 »

Mercs have a sensor in the seat base that know when a acr seat has been fitted. Mine was forever going wrong, it kept the dash light on when an adult was in the passenger seat and didnt seem to want to reset.

It wasnt a permanent thing, I think I did it twice because I had the boot full in the omega estate and in the v70. 

My crash was because the ejit infront decided to brake sharp with no indicators then said sorry and wanted to keep it quiet
not because of my youthful position I happend to have when I was 18

It may be illegal but thats like having the seat fully back to drive normally, Take my brother for instance 6'.3" the airbag wouldnt even touch him.

When I crashed my astra I had the seat-back laid back enough, that airbag  just brushed my forehead and im 5.9
