Omega General Help / Clutch & Dual Mass Flywheel

« on: 13 November 2012, 07:35:24 »

Thinking the clutch is on its way out as when the clutch pedal is depressed have this knocking/rattling sound and occassionally hear a clunk, been like that for over two weeks now. Had a quote from Mr Clutch for £250 to replace just the clutch kit, but when I spoke to them yesterday and advised them of above said they would need to look at it , and would/could be the DMF and if it was would cost over 1k to replace , where is the best place to source the DMF and clutch bits, and do any of you guys think this is the DMF?

General Discussion Area / The only way is.........

« on: 31 May 2012, 19:45:48 »

..for new members and others that have been members for a few years to turn up and attend the annual meets e.g., lakes, newent, which is where you will find out in some cases the faces that sit behind some of the posts and the laughs, and friendships that may ensue. However, one downside is dependant upon where your tent or caravan is located, eg the silent snoarers and lethal farters .  The point of this post being, attend the meets when you can as once you do you will realise the point of this post , and why the forum still exists despite the recent issues raised, at the end of the day we are all human and there will continue to be the rare individual personality clashes, other than those with the campsite owners

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / REAR BLIND CONNECTIONS

« on: 09 January 2008, 11:32:45 »

I was about to fit the rear sun blind (obtained from Markey Mark), however the connection on the sun blind has a diferent connector to the one I have in the car e.g., the sun blind has 2 side by side, and the one in my boot is rectangular with only 3 pins in a row. Therefore, the connection on the blind obvioulsy won't fit the one in the car. Were these connections changed between pre-facelift and facelift and can I change the one on the blind or in the car to fit?

Omega General Help / REAR WHEEL BEARINGS.............

« on: 23 July 2009, 07:01:04 »

.....think mine are going, coming back home yesterday afternoon heard a terrible noise coming from the back of the car, as if something was rubbing and about to fall off, checked the wheels, bolts etc, all look fine, so having done a search on here I am assuming the noise is the rear wheel bearings, will pop it into the garage round the corner to double check, and if it is, then pop down to Vx get the bits and hopefully get it fixed
