Omega General Help / Bosch Super 4 spark plugs.

« on: 19 February 2020, 16:29:02 »

Are the Bosch super 4 spark plugs a standard fit for the 3.0 and 3.2 engines. Bloody ebay is getting right on my wick....because sellers claim that  they are suitable for both engines,but using the compatibility charts they say OK for the 3.0 but not the 3.2.Why do these people set themselves up in a business,but appear to be unable to answer a query.   TIA

General Car Chat / Has any member been scammed by this person?

« on: 07 November 2019, 14:56:58 »

Just a quick heads up....has anyone here had any recent dealings with a guy called Derek Lovell aka Alan Long aka  ALALON497 on either ebay or any Omega facebook groups. He was breaking an Elite 3.2 estate recently. If you have,please can you PM me with the details ...if he scammed you. Also take this as a warning that he's not to be trusted with parts that are to be posted after you have paid for them because you won't get them. It's now a police matter,so if you have anything to offer go for it...he needs to be stopped!

Omega General Help / 3.2 Breather pipes.

« on: 07 June 2019, 16:40:44 »

One of the 3.2's was in at Serek's place today for an HBV change and to identify an oil leak (crankshaft seal) It was pointed out that the breather pipes were a bit past their best and new ones were needed. Question being....that it's unlikely to find new ones,so as a long shot,does anyone know is it likely that silicone replacements are available....somewhere out there.
