  Thanks for your replies, I know I am ignorant about cars, but where is a crank sensor and fuel filter?  I have not had anymore trouble with a tank half full of fuel   Could someone as thick as me do the job?  If so, where do I look for these things?

Omega General Help / Engine dying

« on: 09 August 2018, 19:45:36 »

 Hi, me again, This forum have been so helpful to me in the past so here I come again seeking your expert knowledge,   I have a 2.6 auto and have been finding the engine dying on me particularly on roundabouts and corners  I did note this was mainly when I was low on fuel, not on empty, no petrol symbol showing but it seems to happen when I am on the low side I seem to cure itif I go to N then re-engage.... is it a problem with the gearbox? Your advice would be much appreciated, many thanks

Thanks for all your help but, I am afraid Icannot do what is required, all I know about an engine is that it drives the car..... I will have to give it some thought as my garage wants about £160 to replace spark plugs and that dont include coils etc.    many thanks for all your advice MF

Omega General Help / Radiator leak

« on: 10 April 2017, 13:50:21 »

Hi I have a 2.6 saloon auto (02) which has a leaking radiator, with help from friends on here, I have found  a retailer who can supply me with a new one, now I am no mechanic to say the least so was wondering if there is anyone close enough to me who would kindly fit it for me  My postcode is IP20 9HY (Harleston,Norfolk) I have been told on here that it is an easier  job to fit, but as i say, I am no engineer so would be prepared to journey over to have it fitted and pay a reasonable sum for it to be fitted, regards M. F.
