General Discussion Area / GO TO JAIL.....?

« on: 13 November 2006, 08:11:32 »

Talk about folks without common sense, well these these folks are certainly not lacking that. Out of work?, then it looks like you could become a drug addict, go to jail, go cold turkey, then sue the prison service. This country is just going from bad to worse I have to say

General Discussion Area / IRMSCHER / LMF

« on: 07 November 2006, 20:42:19 »

Well irmscher have just dashed my interior finishing touches, no alu hand brake levers, and suggested I contact LMF. LMF previously suggested vectra lever may fit, but irmscher have just confirmed that they won't. I alos previously purchased a bulet aerial from LMF and a chrome car lighter, the car lighter did'nt fit, the aerial did, but no good as it sat above the fixing gromet on the roof and looked stupid. the point is here is be careful when you see stuff advertised as fitting omegas, as when you purchase they don't.

General Discussion Area / VAUXCHECK

« on: 07 November 2006, 20:17:58 »

Seen this advertised in Nov., edition of TV, checked out the website for cars listed that the software etc., works on. It did'nt have the Z26XE (2.6 V6), listed, which is my engine. So posted them query sent them pics, and their latest response was that they cannot find the engine listed only the Y26SE , which they fitted into Vectras. So it obvioulsy does'nt cover all vauxhall models and engine in terms of fault finding for the amatuer or pro. Yes gadget man

General Discussion Area / OMEGA COSTS

« on: 29 October 2006, 07:57:38 »

Was up early this morning still getting over the jet lag, decided to do some clearing out of old paperwork etc., came across all my VX bills from December 2004. Decided to add them up laugh I nearly cried £10,788.16 that does not include car tax, insurance or the MOT's.
2004; £6,926.65, that was for the kit, servicing, and other shiny bits and bobs inlcuding spraying and fitting, 1k of that was for the rims and tyres, which I shopped elsewhere for.
2005; £2,079.64, irmscher suspension etc and new ICE system.
2006 to date; £1,781.87, new tyres all round at kwik rip off, air con had to get fixed, and bushes and a couple of other bits needed. Oh and there is also the irmscher aluminium steering wheel still in the boot of the car, yet to be fitted (not included in the above costs).

I have spent more on the car than what it actualy cost 57% more to be exact. Hence the reason why I will probably never sell the car

General Discussion Area / OMEGA CAR INSURANCE

« on: 08 October 2006, 23:27:39 »

Whilst I am in London over the past few years for my standard  2.5 V6 CDX, AND 2.6 V6 CDX, I have paid in 2003, £645, 2003, £1,000, 2004, £768, 2005, £745. The latter included the modifications e.g, irmscher bits. The cost may well have something to do with the postcode, whcih is pretty crap really, just curious as to what other folks pay round the country, and if you have any decent insurance companys you could recommend, as mine is up in the next several weeks. Oh and B4 you ask I have 8/9 years no claims so what I have been paying is not related to that. However, always fully comp, and would never, and strongly recommend u never use hephelump.co.uk

General Discussion Area / DOUBLE YELLOWS / BIG FINES

« on: 01 October 2006, 00:25:36 »

Yes I am afraid so, yest another victim of unscrupolous private warden firms in London. Earlier this evening at 5.p.m. I parked on double yellows outside the chinese shop in peckham south london. Went in the shop to get some chillis, guy in the shop said, or I thought he said you aint locked your car. Anyway went outside only to find the clamper putting the padlock on the clamp, less than three minutes in the shop. Calmper told me £120, I said I don't have that money on me or no cards, he said well your car will be removed within thirty minutes. I said you can't fxxxxx do that, take me 15 mins to go back home and 15 mins to get back here, and u aint puttin my car on the back of any fxxxxx tow truck. I am completely 'dangle berries'ed knew I had to pay the fine, the clamper said if we tow you it will be £250, yeah that'll be fxxxxx right. I said money is not a problem I have the money but not on me and to pay the fine I have to go home to get my bank card etc.. I persuaded the warden to drive me back to my house in his van to get my bank card, drove me back to the car. Then I checked the parking notices only find the charge had been blanked out/pasted over and there was no figure there. So subsequently argued with the operative over the phone taking the payment, anyway argued said I would put in an appeal. Luckily had the camera in the boot took loadsa pics, i think I have them by the balls. In any case the clamper totally adored the car as did the security guard, so I could'nt but help show them the engine, talk about the car, hear the sound system. The ironic thing is that on Monday I found £250 in notes, gave £120 to the misses, as it was her that wanted me to go to the shop I am also trying to claim the money back from the wife, and will drop my appeal off to the dodgy clamping company tomorrow. Will keep you posted on the outcome of that, should be good.
