And as I said before... it's your car, money and time... so knock yourself out.

If it works, great, I will be really happy for you. But if it turns out that it's a dog to drive, and that the parts don't give the result you seek, we will say that you were told

Then perhaps you might stop for a second and consider that you're not the first person to ask these questions. I personally have seven years and 180k miles experience, and that's only one car, so imagine how much thought and effort is put into keeping these cars at the top of their game.

You asked a question, but didn't like the answer... this isn't all stuck up, it's you not liking the answer you were given.

more than two parts are shared between omega and i dont need a catalogue to tell you that

front top mounts I told you that
rear beam bushesThey are actually different, but conveniently happen to fit
rear arm bushesDifferent, but may fit although adjustable aftermarket might cause the suspension to lock up
springs also fit from monaro (shocks dont)Monaro is noticeably lighter
and im sure very early monaro (not uk spec) diff bushes fit omega too)Nope. Diff is a solid mount to axle beam using four bolts and a single rear mount

for a little amount ill buy and see .. they for a 14mm arb of rear of monaro so guess they fit considering monaro rear suspension is essentially omegaAgain, they might, but as a matter of fact although similar in appearance, they are very different

But hey, wtf do I know...

Read the guides, there's one for fan testing.

Most likely a failed thermoswitch, of which there are two

Thanks for all of your suggestions, gents; I will follow them up closely tomorrow.
A slight aside: in previous posts, there was mention of a way of eliminating/confirming the HBV from suspicion, but I can't find it. Is it heater on Hi or Lo to stop a leak?

Ron.

Both. Depends where it's cracked
