General Discussion Area / Major job carried out today
« on: 08 November 2008, 16:44:52 »
I cleaned out the breathers today which was a major job for me. I didn't remove the plenum though. Just followed the guide and removed the breather and throttle bit and blasted those with carb cleaner. The breather bit was soaked in oil. Only a small injury sustained, stabbed myself with the screwdriver.  ::)

I couldn't for the life of me locate the brass pipes that need cleaning towards the end of the guide though. Are these essential?

General Discussion Area / 3.2 V6 Gas Mileage
« on: 18 September 2008, 10:24:43 »
What kind of mileage are you getting on a 3.2 V6 around town. I get 17.5 mpg as shown on the display or 6.2km per litre.

Is this reasonable? What do others get?

Got a new battery for the Omega today. Popped in it and the car is starting first time now rather than second time.

General Discussion Area / Headlamp washer surrounds on facelift
« on: 10 September 2008, 05:54:53 »
On the headlamp washers fitted to the facelift, there is usually a body coloured surround that sits on the bumper. Is this part bought with the nozzle or is it an integral part of the bumper.

On mine both the nozzle and surround are missing, therefore is it possible to replace? (That's why I haven't posted any pics of my miggy yet ;D)

General Discussion Area / Suggestions
« on: 23 August 2008, 17:01:54 »
Where has the suggestions area gone? I was going to suggest a waxing / detailing area, unless of course it's already been done.

Mind you too damn hot to wax here in 40 deg C heat. The heat itself is not that bad it's the humidity which is the killer. You just end up dripping in sweat and get soaked right through and it doesn't help when you drip all over the car.

Well after finally removing the stereo from the car, I decided that I was not going to try to take the unit apart in order to find out why the CD player is jammed with the last owners CDs in it.

It will be interesting to see whether the guy I've given it too can sort it. In this part of the world there tends to be a 'call back tommorow / come back tommorow' attitude to everything. I hope my unit doesn't go down this route.  :(

Anyway just in case it gets completely trashed I'll be on the lookout for one in fully working order. Trouble is postage costs would be a fortune.  :(

General Discussion Area / Why did Vauxhall / Opel stop production
« on: 19 August 2008, 14:55:43 »
of the Omega?

Sorry, couldn't fit all of the question into the subject bar. Would be interested to know though.

Intrestingly Ford stopped the Scorpio and Toyota no longer offer the Camry.

General Discussion Area / New winder for window
« on: 09 August 2008, 17:38:07 »
So much for me bragging about getting a cheap ignition barrel and key yesterday.

Today my rear passenger cable in the window winder snapped leaving my rear window down in 40 deg C heat. Had to buy the complete part including motor and it cost me the best part of GBP 275.00.  :'(

Oh well at least the installation is cheap, I was quoted GBP 20.00  ;D

General Discussion Area / Got my Omega back
« on: 08 August 2008, 18:32:56 »
Picked up my Omega with a new crank sensor and ignition barrel. A spare key came with the ignition barrel and it worked out at around GBP 100.00 for the barrel and key here in Doha, Qatar. The key starts the car so it is not a dummy. Vauxhall wanted GBP 80.00 just for the key. Sorry no pound sign on my keyboard.
