Can't see those good old boys across the pond, giving up their pick up trucks and SUV's without a fight. Also pussy boy Boris and his hair brained scheme will be met with a fair bit of resistance as well.....but I'm thinking he's done anyway, re the Batflu

Omega General Help / Re: 2,6V6 using coolant.
« on: 03 December 2020, 15:11:22 »
I'm not sure wether the 2.6 has an external auxiliary coolant pump,but one of my 3.2's has one and it's leaking.I sourced a new old stock one from a guy in Cyprus, but I believe you can get various aftermarket ones on Fleabay.

Makes me wonder wether the scrap moulding was fitted correctly in the first place,although the groove was pretty free of dirt etc ,and didn't put up much of a fight when taking it off.

Thanks to all of you...for the advice, certainly food for thought.The screen in question is probably not the original being an ex cop car,but I've had the car for sixteen years and the screen hasn't been changed in my ownership,and the exterior trim was sun damaged, frayed on the edges and sticky to the touch,hence the welcom freebie. I'm now sort of regretting not thinking this one through.....Autoglass man said ''simple job''and it was certainly easy removing the old one.....jar of worms come to mind at the moment....with the limited options

I'll probably do the same....this is one job that's going on the back burner until spring next year

Although the trim came packaged as Omega,I'm thinking perhaps it maybe a one size fits all item.....going to have a think on this one. Just don't want a load of grief and lies from the insurance company and Autoglass,like the last time with the white car.

Sounds good, but would need to get someone to take the screen out,with the possibility of breaking it,and then having the six week wait for another one. Re the saga of the white car with Autoglass.I was thinking just settle the new trim in with a bead of suitable sealant,as it looks like that's doable.

Omega General Help / New rubber trim for windscreen,fitting problem.
« on: 07 November 2020, 12:03:31 »
A few weeks back I had a new windscreen on the white 3.0 fitted by Autoglass,no probs with them at all. While they were working on the car, one of the guys noticed that the red 3.2 windscreen trim was looking a bit manky and gave me a new one for it...nice one! But having tried to make it fit tightly,it's not happening......I've read the previous posts on similar woes,and is Sikaflex still the preferred remedy for this problem?
