Never used one as when I get a car I change all the liquids and filters then I know when they need replacing.

Omega General Help / Re: Thread lok for oil filter
« on: 16 February 2015, 20:24:35 »
I changed mine because when I got my 3.2 some gorilla had done it up and It took a long bar to get the cover off then when it eventually did come apart the web inside was all broken so I put the old canister type on as the housing would have cost an arm and a leg from a dealer to replace.

Yes 1 change and it stayed in place so far.
Think I paid around £9 for the stub at agents and £1.50 for genuine filter off of the bay.Oh and didn't bother with the lock thread stuff and not had a problem, just turn filter to around 3/4 turn after it touches the block
Kev . . .have you done a oil & filter change since you converted ? if so . . . I presume the filter came off ok & left the threaded stub in place ok

Just goes to show lowering the limit isn't always a good thing. Unfortunately in this case innocent people have died.

They did put a V8 in the XC90 so maybe somebody has been playing and put one in the S80.

« on: 09 February 2015, 23:59:15 »I enjoyed TG last night, although pretty 'samey' it was funny.
It was just down the road from me at the Army Camp in Lydd.
But of coarse I will now have to kill you all

« on: 08 February 2015, 21:44:28 »As for TG. I think that was probably the worst episode ever.I just accept it for what it is now, and I did laugh out loud at a few points.
Yep,childish but bloody funny at times,wasn't Daniel Riccardo good
Knocked that idiot off the top of the lap times

I have used both Gliptone and Atuoglm, they are as good as eachother but the autoglym leaves that new leather smell in the car.
