Omega General Help / Re: rear heater outlet center
« on: 10 August 2017, 21:28:37 »
Seriously, some pictures might help...
Lift out the window switches, and hold the wiring to one side... Under each set of switches is a flimsy square plastic tube. If you can see carpet or light grey metalwork, then the duct is missing.
Also, if you can't dismantle the centre console, then forget ever fitting a new duct as you won't be able to... It will also make fitting a new heater matrix impossible to do without serious damage.
Also, posts are alot easier to read with capital letters at the start of each sentence and the occasional pause

« on: 10 August 2017, 21:23:17 »I took the gear stick cover off there was nothing there just a big rubber cover over the gear cover, tryed to remove the screws off the center part insert in the center box but the screw heads have gone nothing to get a grip on, took the cover off the rear cig lighter, there was nothing in there apart from some electric unit with a load of wires, could not see any bolts nuts or screws, think its not been working for a long time and the old man must of tried to have a look but gave up. and its not that type of endoscope, but has a camera and screen, its mostly used for looking in the engine. well thats what i use it for, very flexible, just its only a meter long. I'm going to have a look at the weekend, if cannot get in to have a look might just put a heater in the back, i cannot find the workings on net of how the heater works but read on some other forms from russia that the heater flap has a link on both sides that lifts up and down and get stuck and the plastic pin comes off so stay in the last position, but the old pics i can find are from 1998 upwards,I could find your heater duct from here. And I am at least 400 miles away.

Plenty of privately owned turbines here... All enabling communities to exist without mains electricity.
Besides, why wouldn't you build turbines in the windiest parts of the country
That 'article' reads like a teetotaller who owns an Orchard complaining about the number of apples he has...

Unplug the maf. Does it run better?
If yes fit a new one. If no, plug it back in.

So you advise people that skipping junctions is best, yet go A30/M25/M3 which is only ONE junction, with a dedicated lane 
You could stay on the A30 all the way home and free up a space on the M25 and M3 for people who actually need to use it

Could you imagine
There are three reasons that the M25 is a constant mess:
1. Most of it is five lanes... alot of it was designed as three lanes, so at most junctions rather thasn rebuilding them, they simply lost the left hand lane (or two), which forces jams where you have five lanes of traffic being forced into three or four.
2. Alot of people do what Tunnie suggests, which blocks the junctions up and then forces people already on the motorway to brake because the joining traffic chooses to shove straight back into lanes two and three.
3. That particular section has five junctions in ten miles which compounds the problem. So whilst junction 11 might be a bit slow, by the time you get to junction 15, everything is at walking pace. Going the other way the junctions are reversed, but the effect is the same.
The funny thing is, Tunnie doesn't actually need to even use the motorway to get to work
