Trouble is.... as soon as you open the lid that bloke screams at the top of his voice at you about doing the penny test.......... BANG! and the expansion bottle was gone.....

Not as bad as I thought.

Did google the subject and someone on one of the Alfa forums used 'cillit bang'   guess you'd want to wash it out thoroughly afterwards.....

What would a new one cost from the dealers? Probably mega bucks I suppose? :-/

You could say that!

31 MPG (and I wasn't hanging about either!), reckon I could get that to 32/33 if I set the cruise at 70.
Brake pedal that has a definite firm brake pressure feel to it.

Oh and a whole heap of confidence in the car now I know it's generally OK!

General Discussion Area / Big Thank You to Mark

Just wanted to say a big thanks to Mark for all his time and work going through the plenum air leak fault logically, finding the fault and rectifying it!  

Also, fixing the passenger seat, bonnet catch and countless other checks on things I was uncertain about.  

This chaps Omega knowledge is incredible!

Many thanks for all your time and help, it was really really appreciated.

Don't think there's any rules against it as hand luggage... just needs to be in a clear bag.

Have to agree with what was said earlier, regardless of age, initial purchase price etc, Until it's at a mechanical level that I feel happy with then I wouldn't worry about what I'm spending.

But then, I suppose, I tend to keep cars for quite a while so by doing maintenance (Coolant, Oil etc) more frequently I hope to stop problems later on.

Definately no neons etc etc!

Is that the one that clips to the bottom of the black 'ecotec' breather module and then pushes into the top of the air plenum?

If so then i'll have one off you 'cause i'm on a week's wait from the stealers at the moment and need one for Wednesday......

Bought some 'carpet' mats of the dealer last week, £35.15, thought that they were good value as the similar set I had in the Vectra lasted 4 years before showing any major signs of wear.

VX ones also fit the clips built into the Omega carpet.

Couldn't 'we' OOF members that is, all make a donation (OK a big donation!) and buy it for the use of OOF? I know that would be a logistical nighmare though....

« on: 23 May 2007, 13:16:23 »

It's got Sat Nav which was standard on a 3.2 and an option on the 2.6 so would guess it is a 3.2............ Not seen many 2.6's with upgraded head units.

General Discussion Area / Elite Cream Leather Interior

« on: 15 May 2007, 16:49:08 »

Does anybody have a picture of the interior of a facelift elite with cream leather, possibly looking at one but only ever considered black leather / interior before. Just wondered what the interior looked like in that colour.

Not sure how child proof a light colour would be!

Thanks

Yep, me too, always use left foot on brake pedal, much easier and smoother.

Heel and toeing is great fun but the pedal height difference on most standard cars doesn't allow you to do it
