Omega General Help / elite rear shock test

« on: 29 September 2015, 14:35:01 »

Have a banging kinda noise from rear off side and thought I'd test to see if rear shocks are still good.. Followed the guide on testing the elite shock's and expected to see suspension " rise" then " fall" when removing the air connection pipe that's visible through wheel arch.. However all it did was " hiss" when pipe came off.. No change to height of car at all on rather side...?? Both shocks goosed? Or have I dome something wrong here?

Back in June says it failed its mot... Needs plugs as its running rich and not firing on all cylinder's.. I changed the plugs around 10k before selling it. What's the best thing to do to stop it running rich? Surely more than plugs??

What would a reasonable cost be to fix leak in rear diff? Leaking around the area where the prop enters..

General Car Chat / hypothetical oil cooler question

« on: 14 August 2015, 09:17:52 »

Would it be best to change it ( as its the original one) for peace of mind or leave well alone? Only known coolant change its had ( I have all receipts from new) is when elite Pete changed it on the 50k miles mark. Now on 55k..

General Car Chat / handbrake travel

« on: 28 July 2015, 07:05:34 »

Is there a regulation as to how much it should move before locking the wheels? Like how many clicks? MOT due in 2 weeks and it only moves 2 clicks since garage changed rear discs.. Will it be ok for the MOT like this?

Hope the £86 plus vat for them is a good buy for the front? Picking them up later.

General Car Chat / MOT soon so is it worth

« on: 10 July 2015, 14:25:34 »

Taking it somewhere for a pre MOT check up just incase? Taking into account that it'll be the first test in my ownership? Had same advisories in last two tests relating to brakes front and rear need looking at ( changed rears already) but you never know what to expect.. Am I wasting money having it looked over professionally before hand?
