Omega General Help / Re: New windscreen fitted using original rubber surrounds

« on: 22 May 2019, 19:11:28 »

Well insurance contacted the National Windscreen Manager they usually deal with by them. They sent him the pictures I posted below, he said that the rubber on drivers side, definately is not right, so he contacted Hartlepool manager on our behalf. The manager from Hartlepool, contacted us and said that they will come out tomorrow, to sort out the rubber on drivers side, they will not be doing the bottom one as that is just for cosmetic only, the gap on each side is 1". They will not change the rubbers, because apparently when they get a order, from the insurance companies they don't include in the policy for new rubbers, so they use what is on the car. He said that they aren't happy doing it, but it is the only thing they can do due to the cost to the customer.

So will see what they do tomorrow.

Had mine done on insurance recently . . .all new genuine trims & rubbers requested & duly supplied .  The whole saga took weeks to sort though .

Not sure if earlier models are different but I think they are  serving you a large portion of bullshit there .

Omega General Help / Re: coolant leak loss but cannot see where from. 2.6 Engine

« on: 18 May 2019, 16:54:09 »

roughly between 4 to 6 pints. Hot weather it needs more.

'Kin 'Ell Addy     . . . thought a leak like that would be visible .

Also my advice NOT to start buying parts until you know what the problem is.

Dye method should see you right in locating it  . . .

Have you had the seats out, and not disconnected the battery first.

the seats have been out yes but the code will not clear,

Tech 2 then for reset.

+1  Oops!  ignition turned on with seat wiring disconnected =  visit to a tech 2 to get light extinguished

Hi all
             is there any way of identifting between the AR 35 & the Ar 25 WITHOUT looking at the ID plate ?    Car is 2001 2.6 CDX auto so would have had an AR25 from factory.

The ID plate seems impossible to view from under the car as it seems to be behind the selection mechanism.

Just wondering as  I found a list of jobs to be done from the previous owner when clearing the loadspace out.  Fit AR35 was ticked off along with fit 2x rear wheelbearings & full cambelt /tensioners change .

Filters, oil change, cam cover gaskets were listed but not ticked.   

So basic question is  . . .can you identify an AR35 just by looking at it from under the car?   

Yes you can tell easily from the colour of the ID plate. Blue plate is AR35 and yellow plate is AR25. Let me know how you get on.

don't think I can  get under it until the weekend  . . .but will let you know when I do .

Thanks for that colour info

As TB says you've got get under and have a look, would assume it's going to have the Ar25,,,. I know we're there's a good ar35....

I have been under  . . .but it seems impossible to see it with the selector mechanism in front of it .     BTW   my gearbox is working fine   . . . just curious that it may have had an AR35 fitted by a  previous owner.
