Omega General Help / Re: Rear springs elite and broken middle section exhaust studs
« on: Today at 11:00:10 »
If your going to remove the S/L dampers, I could be interested in them if they are reasonably useable. 
If you do that you must change from S/L spec springs. They are far too soft to stay on the car with normal spec dampers.
As mentioned above, rear springs are a bit of a nightmare to get right. The ones currently on the rear of my car have the rear sitting too high.
I seem to remember Doc Gollum recommending Kielen heavy duty for the rear, so will probably investigate that option when I get around to it.

I received a large questionnaire in the post yesterday from Essex County Council.
Apparently my household has been chosen to do this in order to " help shape the future of Essex."
Im looking forward to filling it in, but well aware it wont make a blind bit of difference.
Its just so they can claim to consult residents / voters, take their views into account etc. etc.

« on: 22 April 2024, 18:01:00 »Going back quite a number of years now, the tester at the little village garage i usedOne thing that is mandatory ,yet I doubt ever gets tested .....
"speedometer is working correctly and gives an accurate reading"
obviously speedos are NEVER tested on AUDIs, Golf GTIs (or golfs pretending to be GTI, with Ebay badges,) etc
A few years back ... maybe 10/13..... I presented an Astra G for test with a none working speedo/odometer.
The car passed without comment! (eventually
always got me to stay in the car when he hoisted it up. He got me to press peddles and wriggle the steering wheel about a bit.Doubt we allowed near the test bay now are we?
Thats exactly what happens when I take cars for MOT at my local garage, although the car isnt hoisted up. The tester is in a pit under it.

I think they are a spent force. They will lose a lot of seats to Labour come the election.

Meanwhile............Wee Jimmy Krankies husband has now been charged with pocketing a very large sum of SNP donations.
I imagine she is already plotting to divorce him and then reinvent herself as a "survivor" of a coercive cruel husband, and then take her rightful place on the throne of Scotland in a couple of years or so.
