General Car Chat / wrong fuel

« on: 03 October 2012, 18:46:31 »

the old chap that is currently working for me put petrol in his diesel van by mistake last weekend £20 worth

the van is a W reg 2.8 movano. he was advised to stick £60 of diesel in and told it would eventually work its way out.

The van used to pull like a train but at the moment is slow to accelerate although it is not missfiring at all.

any advice please

Cars for Sale & wanted / 52 2.6 estate for sale

« on: 07 September 2012, 23:12:08 »

time to move on from the miggy as i am just not using it its a silver 02 52 reg 2.6 auto estate

Daz has changed cam belt etc and carried out a full srvice as well as replaced cam covers and other works including issues i had with the gearbox which turned out to be the flitch plate . so basically the gearbox has been out and checked etc. Mechanically there are no issues except for a/c not had it regased and assume it probably needs to be. The car has 78k miles with full history and mot until march 2013. i have just put 4 new tyres on as well

pictures are in gallery and i will put some on this topic to which show the new replica irmischer froint grille and any scuffs etc
http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/index.php?topic=106353.0

generally the car is in good overal condition but the rear tailgate will need attention as under the black tape ( applied by the dealer) there is the normal rust spot althoughh it has been treated and not beyond repair ie no holes etc and is very solid no idea why the dealer i brought the car off did not just sprsy ut

any question ask away. I was after about £1000 although i have in honesty spent that on ther car in the past year

General Discussion Area / best laid plans fail

« on: 30 August 2012, 20:22:07 »

Well wifeys not talking to me and neither is doggy

what should have been a normal day has turned to shite trying to complete a huge conservatory with 3mtr lengths of glass in 50mph winds and bloody rain just to make the glass even harder to hold on to actually 3210mm

client due back off holidays on sunday expecting a water tight conservatory, not finished but fully glazed

so what should be a relaxing friday loading the car for Newent will be a frosty farwell from wifey as i head back to work with the hope that the bloody weather holds out and i finish early enough to still make the trip to Newent

told wifey its a few bits of glass over 9mtrs long and ditto windows all with openers and two sets of french doors plus the abutment to an existing tiled roof and form a gulley. If we finish it i will be amazed. Words arse in gear come to mind an i am not talking bondage

can see this all going tits up and either a very late friday arrival and a kip in the car or an early saturday arrival at best.

what time is everyone normally up to on the friday evening or wake up on the saturday

just to add to my best day yet guess who forgot all about his vat return due end of this month at least no one is talking to me so i can get on ...its gonna be a long night at Lovejoy mansions

hope to see you all at Newent

General Discussion Area / cloned car reg

« on: 28 August 2012, 21:26:21 »

was driving along a duel carrige way today and was fast aproaching a similar car to wifeys as i got closer i realised it was indeed wifeys car same colour etc same reg

i thought weyhey i will give her a toot, then thought whats she doing here she should be at work and

slowed down to see who was driving and wifey had grown a full beard and looked like she had a part time job at eastenders

the van did try and swerve to the left a little but after seeing that nobody was in the passanger seat some how the van went back over to the right

so ok wifey must be at work that means hes stolen the car no hang on wifey loves that car. Try getting hold of wifey on her mobile during the day so some 4 phone calls later and resisting the urge to put the guy on the hard shoulder i finally get hold of wifey, i did use small simple words to try and explain but in the end had to resort to shouting

furk me why do women need to know the ins and outs of a ducks arse when your driving ( hands free officer) trying to keep contact with the suspect vehicle whilst trying to act casual so he dont smell a rat

i should also expalin i had 3 miles to do all this in as my turning was approaching

anyway wifeys still got her car but there is another car exactly the same except for the bearded guy with the same registration driving around

in hined sight i probably should have followed the guy but after finding out it was not wifeys car i took my turning and then had to listen to what the weather was like how her day was going etc etc etc etc.

If i report it to the boys in blue what can they do in fact it may even mean wifey would be getting pulled over

General Discussion Area / Some holiday help pleas

« on: 20 August 2012, 21:26:54 »

I am not a well travelled person only england and a couple of times europe mainley work so heres the thing

was going to surprise wifey we have been married nearly 5 years and could not afford a honey moon at the time and every time i have gone to book something works turned to shite blah blah

any suggestion oh and no snow wifeys a sun worshipper book pool bliss but i am an explorer and beer drinker genral fat slob type  so a bit of both would be great

General Discussion Area / vauxhall dispute

« on: 27 June 2012, 13:23:41 »

i brought a new van march from vauxhall pentagon a movano had lots of problem on the day of collection wich meant i was there all day whilst they registered another van finally was about to drive away before adjusting the seat and said to the sales lady wheres the tilt adjustment on the seat she did not have a clue so thought will sort it out later when i finally stop for something to eat

basically there is not one despite vauxhall advertising a 6 way adjustable driving seat and i quote from the brochure

 'driver seat adjustable for height, cushion angle, rake and reach'

would it be fair to say that one of those words describes the tilt action on a seat

There has been numerous emails with vauxhalls and the dealer who is now out the picture, I have on many occaission asked Vauxhalls to confirm what seat adjustment each word highlited above refers to, they have avoided this question and skirted around it.

they have also said they are unable to upgrade the seat or do anything similar although as an optional extra they do an airsuspension seat that is fully adjustable £400 option

they have now offered me a £150 voucher to spend on vauxhall accesories for my grievance if i agree its full and final settlement

i dont think i will accept this and confirm in writing the brief outline of my case sent via recorded delivery giving them 14 days to reply

any advice
