Finished off the clutch replacement job, everything fitted back on and all good.  :y

Hugely appreciated, many thanks :)

Look forward to geting it back....although that will mean my stint of 3.2 mv6 fun is coming to an end ;)
Oh, yes, I know that. That feeling of disappointment of knowing you won't be using the Omega, and are destined for a life of boredom in a Zafira ;D


Top marks to Mr DTM, saving a member a (most likely nearly uneconomic) expensive repair bill :y

Went to change the oil, then hid in the garage under the pretence of tidying up. Opps me that wind is cold.  :'(

Washed polished & vacumed the 2.6 now tucked safely in the garage, not using it for 10 days as got some time off. 😀😀😀

Found out the MoT is due on the 10th of next month...... needs quite a bit of work I reckon to get it to pass...

Put some water in the header tank, seems the old problem of using water has come back.... time to change the HG's I guess.... :(

On the upside - got some good news about some alloys I'll be purchasing sometime in the near future :)
