Omega General Help / Up in the air

« on: 24 January 2010, 21:59:17 »

Hello,if i have my omega  on a lift supported at the body and wheels dangling can i put it in drive and let the rear wheels spin. i am asking because i stumbled across a thread somewhere in the depths of the forum with a brief reference to this and someone saying they had heard this could damage the drive shafts.i was intending to do this to check the drivetrain in motion,any thoughts?,regards.

Omega General Help / Grease points

« on: 24 January 2010, 20:47:30 »

I will be getting the MV6 2.6 auto i very recently bought on a lift this week for a close inspection and wondered if i ought to have a grease gun with me as i was thinking there might be grease nipples in the drive shafts or propshaft. If there are,how often ought they to be checked?

Hello,what is the  recommended mileage covered to expect to change the auto gearbox oil? Also how do you know which type auto gearbox you have?. I have an 01 2.6 MV6 auto with 71,000 miles and am keen to carry out any type of preventative maintenance.

Omega General Help / (LT) or (SN)

« on: 11 January 2010, 17:24:11 »

hello, when looking at omega values on the parkers guide website a lot of models are distinguished from others by having (LT) at the end and in the 3.0 (SN). i cant figure it out so excuse my ignorance and can someone tell me what these mean.

definitely servicing is the key,had a 2.5 transit diesel metrocab taxi with an auto box,sold at 370,000 miles running perfect,double driven so it worked night and day.engine and auto gearbox oil changed every 4 weeks from new.it seems to me that the 20,000 mile service interval on the V6 is way too much and as i am trying to buy one, full service history is not all its cracked up to be!
