Deep wallets needed for Omega's!!
« on: 07 February 2007, 16:28:53 »
Damn, I wish I had the knowledge and expertise of some of you guys on here!!

Took the Miggy in to my local garage yesterday for a major 10k service and told them I'd also got a small oil leak somewhere but I didn't think it would be the rocker cover seals as they were only done a year ago. Anyway, I get a phone call just after lunchtime - yup, the right hand rocker cover's leaking again and they couldn't get one in until today, so I'd have to leave it in overnight. ALSO required was new brake pads and sensors all round, new brake fluid, coolant change and 3 new tyres in addition to the major service. Oh....and yes, I did tell them to make sure they cleaned the crankcase breathers!! Then I've just had another phone call - the bloody rocker cover and gasket kit didn't turn up from their VX parts supplier so its got to spend another night there....grrrrrr >:(

Don't know what the cost is going to be yet but it ain't gonna be cheap........my poor wallet!! :'( :'( :'(

Brake sensors all around? should be only 2 on the fronts, none on rear.

Hope they flushed the fluid and not just topped up, again with coolant change...

Are the parts at trade? Its too late now but your not tooo far from me here at Uni....

Sorry, I meant brake pads all round and sensors on the front. I would assume they get their parts trade as they're a well established independent garage. I'll ask them about the coolant - what is the reason that they shouldn't just top it up?

Pity you couldn't have left it till the end of February Bob. Me and possibly Timbuk are coming down to Mick Dundees and could have had a go at it then.
