Apologies for not reading properly:

- Can you borrow a bucket from neighbour or get a few 2 ltr water bottles?

Thanks but I had assumed that. I mean pull the plug out, keep your finger over the hole and put the replacement plug in. You could catch the coolant in a container and put back into the system once new plug is replaced so any coolant loss would be minimal. I'm sure you could do it without a problem.

You wont be loosing much coolant if you swap over plugs as quick as you can and catch any liquid in a pint glass? Could try and keep your finger over end before fitting new one. Can top it up with water and be fine I reckon.

Have you tried pulling out the fuse for the secondary air injection? It is a free 1 minute job that could help?

Omega General Help / Re: Cannister or Cartridge

« on: 14 October 2013, 23:09:58 »

I've had both types and would not change what was on the car originally.  My preference is for the cartridge as I find it less messy to drain a bit before fully undoing.  The dribble of oil on the canister used to go a bit more awol

To anyone who has one:

Plugged in - the red charging light came on for a couple of minutes then this went off and the full green charge light came on.
Left for a few hours and still green light on. The instructions says when the battery is fully charged the red and green light turn off but I am just showing green light still on. I am assuming it is showing that it is fully charged even though this contradicts the instructions a bit.

When yours is fully charged does the green light stay on or go out?

Can you use the charger without disconnecting any of the battery terminals? Some chargers (ctek) I have read you can and it won't damage other electrics. I know this is lazy but it would be quicker and save putting in stereo code.
