Omega General Help / Mechanic in Glasgow area

« on: 20 August 2009, 03:06:02 »

Im looking for some work to be done on my MV6 omega to get it back on the road. Both manifold gaskets are away and all the track rods need replaced (there may be more but thats all i can recall from the top of my head). I was planning on pulling the engine out and doing it myself, however, i was in a bad crash a while ago and my back still giving me problems so no heavy duties for me.

Is the anyone in the Glasgow area who would be willing to do the above work? Id be happy to help with what i could, and its not my daily driver so there would be no rush if someone wanted to do it on the side.

Cheers
Stuart

Omega General Help / Sorry to be a pain, again. R.E manifold gasket

« on: 01 July 2008, 13:06:02 »

Hey guys, it feels like i never stop talking about this, its doing my head in!

Right the job WILL (hopefully) be getting dont on friday as long as i can get the parts, but as usual, called VX and they need the chassis number before they will even give me rough prices! which leads onto the next question  

Does anyone have the part numbers (and possibly the prices) off all the parts that i require (ie gaskets, botls, studs etc) as well as new engine mounts? its a 97 MV6 on and N plate.

It would be a HUGE! help if anyone could, as at the moment, the car and V5 is at home and id really like to get the parts ordered on the way home from work.

Thanks guys

Omega General Help / fanimold gasket

« on: 29 May 2008, 13:12:04 »

Hey

what do people think of this? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/956-New-Vauxhall-car-part-Manifold-gasket-Omega_W0QQitemZ320162189050QQihZ011QQcategoryZ10404QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1638Q2em118Q2el1247

The price is definetly appealing! and to be honest the OEM one has lasted 110k and i plan on changing the engine in the next year or so, so i dont need it to last another 100k.

Also just for reference, does anyone know how much VX do it for with a trade card? i called to ask but they wouldnt tell me without the card number, and since its my mates, i dont have it lol

Also does anyone know the price of the studs and bolts?

Cheers

Omega General Help / Which crank sensor

« on: 24 April 2008, 13:03:00 »

i have a 95 MV6 and im looking to replace the crank sensor.

Ive been told 90492006 is for the early cars and 90492061 (with the oval plug 3 pin ) isfor the later models.

Is it safe to order 90492006 or is there a way to double check?

Thanks

Omega General Help / MV6 had a hissy fit last night

« on: 12 April 2008, 13:38:26 »

On the way home last night, i put the foot down a little on a b-road, then came into a town so back to 30mph and low revs, all of a sudden the engine jerked forward as though i had lifted of but it was a lot more violent, then i came to a set of lights, dipped the clutch and it dropped straight past the idle and stalled, on re-starting, it took a fair few tunes of the engine and when it started there was a seriously seriously strong smell of fuel and the engine management light came on and the fuel consumption dropped to 7-10mpg even though i was driving really slowly.

I done the paperclip test just there and its came back with:

144   Immobiliser No Signal  
74   Mass Air Flow Sensor Voltage High
19   Incorrect RPM Signal    

The engine wasn't on so i was expecting the 19.

any idea on how i can solve the others?

Thanks

Omega General Help / how much for a mechanic to.....

« on: 10 April 2008, 00:04:22 »

change a exhaust manifold gasket on an MV6? ive always done all my mechanics myself, however with the lack of weekend time i seem to have at the moment, lack of tools (mainly engine crane) and the amount of overtime im being offered in work. i swaying towards paying someone else to do it.

What has other people paid to have this done? or if your a mechanic what kind of price would you charge?

thanks in advance
