Omega General Help / Re: Irmscher wheels damaged by pot hole

She is on a set of winter wheels as we speak. I have the original elite wheels on now.
Sadly it was not winter when I hit the pot hole, just poor conditions..

Thanks guys.
The crack is about 10mm long and only on the inside lip not on the flat of the barrel yet.
I will do my best not to hit anymore holes... have to travel alot on country roads and it was well hidden buy bad waether and darkness at the time

Thanks for advice guys. I have a local repair company so will see what they say.

Another question just to get opinons really. About two months ago I hit a really deep pot hole quite hard.. The sort of one that makes you actualy say Ouch! out loud.
All seemed fine but I didnt actualy check the wheel by removing from the car but on just a visual inspection all seemed good. Anyway to cut to the chase the wheel has just cracked on the inside lip bit you cant see when on the car. its only a small dent too.
I am struggling to find an 18 x 9j replacement as I guess most are 8J for all the front wheel drive Vauxhall's.
What are peoples opinions on getting it welded by a professional??

Thanks in advance

Omega General Help / Strange buzzing sound from engine bay

« on: 28 October 2012, 06:59:57 »

Hi All.

Not been on here for a while but have a question that someone may be able to help with.
I have noticed that when I first get in the car and turn the ignition on but not turn the engine on I get a strange noise. It sounds like an electric motor running but has a clicking sound to it. It runs for quite a while even after you start the car? Only two guesses I have is its a vacum pump if it even has one or its a headlight adjuster motor that is broken in some way. It seems to be coming from the offside front of the bay.

I have brought some goodies for the detail such as work lights, paint thickness gauge and generaly stocked up on lotions, potions and a nice new set of lake country pads for the porter cable. I will try and do a detailed thread on it when i start. It might take me a while as I dont have much spare time but it will keep me off the streets
