Omega General Help / How to break an omega?

« on: 31 October 2010, 17:36:50 »

As above really, thought I'd ask what to remove?
I'm breaking my mv6 estate and using the engine for my gsi.
So there will be nearly everything else up for grabs.
I don't want to strip everything, just stuff that I can actually get rid of, and not be stuck with for years.

Omega General Help / Gearbox change...

« on: 23 May 2009, 13:46:46 »

I am just enquiring on here....
I am thinking about fitting a different gearbox when my clutch needs changing.
I'm thinking of putting a modified F28 gearbox in.
what does everyone think??
I've been told that the 6 speed box is supposed to make the miggy drive a lot better, as the ratio suits the car??

Omega General Help / Rolling road..

« on: 02 May 2009, 20:07:35 »

I had my mv6 rolling roaded today...
I managed to get 215 bhp & 241 lb of torque.
I have a few mods on my car, but my main one is probably the air resonator.
Included a copy of the results.
Do they seem okay?
or high or low for my car?

Omega General Help / fitting 3.0l cams to a 2.5

« on: 12 April 2009, 18:16:44 »

i've just been asked by a mate, that has bought some cams, how hard is it to fit them??
Thought i'd ask on here.
i've done a fair bit of work on mine, even got round to changing the cam cover gaskets.
is it just a case of fitting them whilst doing them??

Omega General Help / Help..................

« on: 08 March 2009, 12:40:53 »

i've got problem with my car...
drove it home from work on friday and it was fine.
i swapped my blue plenum for a new powder coated one that i have had done.
this is where my problem starts...
it now doesn't tick over after the initial warm up (auto choke i presume).
it shakes on low revs, and on high revs is emits black smoke.
It also seems to be using loads of petrol, even just trying to start it, you can just wtch the miles dissapearing on the display.
it also smells.
i've taken the powder coated plenum off and put my blue one back one, so it is back to how it was on friday.
but the problem is still there.
its not the plugsas i have taken them all off and checked them.
I also took it to the garage and put £30 of fuel in it thinking it may be that.
the car does drive okay after about 2000 revs, but on low revs it just cuts out, and doesn't look well at all.
any ideas?

Omega General Help / Vacume ecu compressor??

« on: 09 March 2009, 11:09:32 »

What are the little black plastic things on the back of the multi ram, plenum and by the air injection valve?
Just wondering, as i have a problem with my mv6.
Which way do they connect?
I have a copy of the breather set up in front of me, but it doesn't show in too much detail whicj way the pipes should be connected to them?
I'm presuming it would make a lot of difference if the breather pipes were connected to them the wrong way round??
Hope you all can understand my question

Omega General Help / engine tune...

« on: 25 February 2009, 17:16:51 »

i'm having my car tuned on saturday as i have had a couple of changes under the bonnet.
my question is, what do they actually do on an engine tune to make a difference??
its been a while since i had an engine tuned, the last one had a carberator.
i don't claim to be a mechanic, but it is nice to know what he'll do.

Omega General Help / rear disc help

« on: 21 February 2009, 18:19:37 »

as above, i have just started to notice that my discs are nearly down to the metal.
i have taken a wheel off, and tried to make a start, but cannot get the disc off.
the problem i am having, the small screw that holds the disc in place, any idea what size it is??
it looks like a torx to me, but a t05 is too small, and a t40 too big.
Am i having a blonde moment?
halfords don't sell a t35...

Omega General Help / tyre sizes

« on: 07 February 2009, 13:34:43 »

[size=14]Just wondering....
But as it costs a fortune to buy tyres for miggies...
i am just enquiring to see if anyone can answer this?
I have an mv6 with 235 x 45 x 17", if i bought a pair of 245 x 45 x 17", would they fit??
As they are considerable cheaper at my local fitters.[/size]

Omega General Help / help

« on: 07 February 2009, 19:26:38 »

I'm hoping this is a popular problem with miggies....
I replaced my plugs and leads, and found oil around the top of the plugs.
Can any body give me some advice??
Is it common?
Is it easy to fix?
Just that i can smell a burning oil smell from the engine bay, obviously from this problem.

Hi, can anyone tell me which wires go where on the back of the cigarette lighter?
Just realised mine isn't working, and now i know why.
I just need to know the 2 wires directly on the back of the lighter, as the others are still connected.
