Welcome to OOF
Did the engines leave Ellesmere Port with the plenum painted? Weren't the plenums the natural colour of the cast alloy?I think the early short plenum (2.5/3.0) were painted but none of the later and long plenums were painted
According to the online official checker for this charge my 2003, 3.2 Omega is exempt as it meets the criteria of acceptable omissions.
Yep, always have been rough, but the suspension setup on American vehicles covers up a lot of the horrendous roads..... right up until you leave the interstate at anything approaching the speed limit and get a quick reminder how soft the springs areSounds very much like most everywhere. The roads are shite.The roads in the US are just as horrendous.
I know the earlier 2.6 was prone to stem seals, fixed I believe on the later ones.
There was a known fault with that pipe rubbing through from contact with the AC pipe if the spacer wasn't fitted, my first Omega suffered this which caused a slightly spongy brake pedal (but no problem pulling up the car in fairness) and diabolical fuel consumption.
You mean like this...

The first thing might go unnoticed until you had used the brakes. Now imagine finding out that you have no brake assistance on the M1/25/20 when the traffic ahead suddenly stopped. By the time your brain has caught up, you're in the back of the car in front. At speed. ……
That happened to me on the A30 on my way to Cornwall many years ago. Flat out in my V8 Vitesse when I noticed the traffic in the distance braking to a standstill. I braked fairly hard but then heard a pop, and the brake pedal went solid. I did manage to stop but it was tight and a scary experience.
On investigation, the brake servo chamber had rotted at the join and the vacuum had blown a hole in it.
I know the Met fitted different wheels so they could accommodate Jag XJS calipers which says it all really You either love or hate Citroens, I hate them.I'm with you on that!
