Never mind about missing bolts. What about cushions that are too thick?

Talk about putting passengers lives at risk...

Putin is a proven liar. But you know that. No? 

Evidence-free statement.

Have had my 3rd temp filling in the same tooth in one day, dentists are added to the list of people who have pissed me off today.  That's the 5th or 6th temp filling in that tooth since October when the 40+ year old one fell out.

You've clearly not been getting enough fluoride, but don't worry, the government is here to help you.

General Car Chat / Re: New EU directive – no old car repairs?

Personally I have no interest in listening or watching any of this nonsense put forward by these idiots.

Yes, just sit back and wait for the sh*t to happen.

Some electric cars can be very dangerous in the wrong hands.

Another person who has no idea what they are talking about  ...........more brake dust from an EV..........much less is the answer as they rarely ever use the brakes

"Yes, EVs don't use their friction brakes as much as internal combustion cars. That's thanks to regenerative braking. But as a 2020 paper rounding up previous research suggested, that might not be enough to offset the higher weight of EV battery packs.

The European Commission (the EU's governing body) announced its intention to regulate brake dust in a 2021 policy plan, saying it would address particulate emissions "from both conventional and electric vehicles alike."

Either way, that is not the really important thrust of his video.

OK you guys. You may not believe this and many of you will fall over laughing, but I have a VAUXHALL OMEGA! 

It's fast, comfortable and has enough driver aids, like mirrors, switches and analogue dials, to make driving a breeze.

Absolutely fascinating. I'm beginning to think the US is thoroughly bent at the top.

This is not the full video (only available at Tucker's site), but is very revealing.

Omega General Help / Re: Suspension issue?

« on: 30 December 2023, 14:23:54 »

Just throw the poly bushes in without removing the wishbones and save up/collect parts to rebuild the suspension front to back.

I know I keep banging on about the suspension, but I know from bitter experience just how few miles it takes to destroy brand new tyres. And it's alot less than a thousand 

That's my plan!

And get them to set the geometry to WIM settings rather than standard Vauxhall settings.

Used to get Tony at WIM to do the settings. Is he still there?

Tony passed away about 18 months ago, WIM taken over by protyre and no longer has a reputation that makes you want to visit.  I beleive one of those he trained is bookable not far away from there, can find the details easily enough if you want.

Thanks, Jimbob. 

I'm hoping that someone on here can get hold of Tony's settings for the Omega.

Camber bolt part numbers...

M12 bolt is 11096171 M12 x 1.5 x 55
M12 nut is 11094488

M14 bolt is 11090822 M14 x 1.75 x 56
M14 nut is 11094506

Ball joint 90512982

Cheers, DG. I was able to get hold of some hen's teeth, but those bolts are proving a tad more elusive.  

I think I'll leave the camber for now.

Pretty sure Tony at WIM died not too long ago.

Rear tie rods are often badly seized unless they have been adjusted in the recent past. I had to replace both mine before I could get the geometry set.
WIM figures should be on here somewhere. If not, I have them written down somewhere and could hopefully dig them out.

That would be much appreciated, Albs.

Such a shame about Tony. Great chap.
