We completed another road trip. I still enjoy driving her, although low ground clearance and RWD are not the best option for these kind of trips. Most of the sightseeing we done I had to cover with extreme caution, but we succeeded. New rear springs and shock absorbers are waiting to be fitted ( Omega is sitting low at the back), she needs a new clutch, headliner is sagging, and summer Michelins are on there way out. I'll not chase new 16'' as I'm looking for factory 5 spoke Omega 17'' . Chances are that they will bee attached to the rest of the car Also I'm planning decarbonization treatment, hopefully we will reduce CO2 emission, and some of that black smoke when driving full throttle. Friend of mine who patented this treatment says that it will improve performance of the engine also. |

Changed the rear trailing arm bush on the galaxy as the squeak was starting to grate a little .
Not a bad job all things considered, was going to do the other side but the BBQ was calling to me. |

If its been slipping for that long, even if due to low fluid (though I though older merch had dipsticks?), I'd suggest that the clutches would have taken quite a hammering. And indicates a hydro-mechanical fault.No dipstick on the W221. I am leaning towards a temporary replacement and then gather up the parts and a suitable replacement box and get it put in as a belts and braces approach and.fitting that with replacement solenoids and TCM as those are generally the precursor to more substantial failures. Car has previous form for gearbox speed sensor discrepancies as well but they weren't significant enough to be a priority... Live and learn. |

My post was specifically in relation to the Omega Estate and was from experience of being perhaps one of two people on this forum who has actually replaced a rear quarter panel.
I acknowledged that I was wrong in that the vehicle in question here is in fact an Astra, but I left my post otherwise unedited as.iy.is very much relevant to the Omega Estate and may therefore be of use to someone down the road. |
