Thank you for the offers and suggestions. 

It's in two metal jerrycans, once I dig it out of the back of the garage I'll be looking to give it away or dispose of it.

General Car Chat / Old Diesel Fuel

I have approx 10 Gallons of the stuff. 2001 vintage. Would it still be able to be used in an engine? Or does it have a shelf life?

Thanks for the responses. Crankshaft seal was dry six months ago when the cambelt was done. Hopefully it will turn out to be the oil pressure switch.

Yes, oil level warning came on on Sunday. Hadn't thought of the crankshaft seal, sump rim does look a bit oily.

Puzzling thing is that there is an air gap between the sump rim and this tray thing where the oil is sitting and I am wondering how it could jumped the gap.

Omega General Help / Another Oil Leak

Having had the oil light start to flicker with a hot engine, decided to change the oil pressure switch and that's when I noticed fresh oil on the tray thing at the front just behind the radiator. I can't smell burning oil, so I don't think it's running over a hot engine. Any pointers as to where it might be coming from? Thanks.

Did mine last year, used a pair of mole grips on the valve as a regular spanner doesn't fit.

Part no. 13277003, obtained from dealer for £5.50.

Just hoping I can avoid a 300 mile round trip to do it.
Just the plastic needed as it is cracked.

Omega General Help / Front Bumper Removal

« on: 02 April 2017, 21:51:10 »

I have located a replacement front bumper in the right Z155 colour. Trouble is the seller says I must remove it. Is there someone in the Betchworth area that could do this on my behalf so that I can then arrange transport to Nottingham? Drinking Vouchers available. Thanks.

My first was a 1995 2.0 GLS Estate that I bought in 1998.

Replaced it in 2004 with my current and only car, a 2002 2.6 CD Saloon, used daily.

Thanks

Any mobile mechanics willing to come to Nottingham? I might need Cambelt and camcover gaskets doing.

Thanks.
