Omega General Help / Re: Bearing whine.
« on: 18 December 2010, 09:09:48 »Quote
QuoteMy Omega has developed a whine when started from cold since the cold weather began. It only happens when the temperature is well below freezing.
Once warm it is silent again, it appears to be coming from the front of the engine, I think offside.
Any ideas what might need attention ?
So does mine mate, but Ive recently found out that if I leave the wife at home I dont hear it...
someone with some serious usefull info will be along shortly
Happens in every car I drive!

Omega General Help / Re: is a manual better than auto
« on: 11 December 2010, 11:56:50 »Quote
i have an auto and i love it to bits after driving mostly manuals since i passed my test but i have had more problems with auto boxes than manual. but i have been told the clutch wears quicker on a manual than an auto thats a tough call
That may be because the manual actually has a clutch.

Omega General Help / Re: Tyres size
« on: 07 December 2010, 15:13:52 »Quote
QuoteQuoteno need for 225, if I were you I'll go for 205 or max 215..
no need for wide expensive tires in winter..
That's the question I was asking, what variations can the OE wheels accept. :-?
Some 225's on ebay, £89 a set, but only 3-4mm left, so not really worth it.
winter tires must have a min 5mm tread depth to be deemed good! my habdbook only gives 225/55/16 as OEM for the 16's so i geuss you could put on thinner tyres but i don't know how it would affect your handling remember the snow won't be there the whole winter and then you'll be driving around on morris minor wheels!!
Going on my spare alloys. (See my OP)

The tyres fitted to my TD are 225 55 16's. I would like to fit some winter tyres to my spare alloys, same size at present. What variation in size, (I'm looking at part worns) can these wheels, which were OE, accept. :-? :-? :-?

Omega General Help / Re: Cracking door syndrome.
« on: 07 December 2010, 19:47:20 »Quote
my garage not helped by 3 fileing systems in one. Car stuff, bike stuff and diy/“her” new bathroom stuff. Not rather happy!
And yes, good point about checking the bolt and check strap etc, weather easing at the weekend i believe?
If its coming from the hinge rather than the strap Chris, try my fix above first. Only a five minute job.

Mine cracked loudly also. TB change the plastic washer for me, which fixed it temporarily, then it started again. I renewed the washer and this time swapped the pin with the pax door. No cracking from either door now

Top man !, what's a bit of frostbite between mates as long as it saves a few bob & gets the car going?
Especially when it's the other guy getting it.

So for geometric set up, the drivers seat really should have weight in it
That is an interesting point Chris. WIM don't mention it though.
