Omega Electrical and Audio Help / 2.5 TD Glow Plug Replacement

« on: 29 October 2011, 19:53:59 »

I've got to change the glow plugs on a 2.5 TD tomorrow, and I was hoping someone could give me a basic, step-by-step guide on how to do it. I'm sure it's probably fair stright forward, but I've never worked on this type of engine before, so I'd like to be fore-warned if possible.

TIA

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Facelift Climate Control - No Heat

« on: 29 October 2011, 19:51:39 »

I've had the headunit, cage, walnut surround, climate panel, and the black plastic frame that everything screws fixes to, out of my mate's car today. I'm 100% sure everything is reconnected properly. Everything works except when you turn up the temperature on the climate panel, no heat comes out!!

I'm worried that I may have disturbed something else behind the headunit (possibly one of the actuators???), but looking at another car I have here, I can't see anything obvious. $:-\$

Unfortunately, my mate lives 200 miles away from me (he's now very cold, having just got home) and I am probably going to have to talk him through sorting this out.

Can anyone point me in the right direction as to how the heat supply is controlled, and where the controlling parts are located please.

TIA

Omega General Help / 2.5 TD Glow Plugs and engine code

« on: 24 October 2011, 21:41:38 »

I need a set of glow plugs for a 2.5TD

I'm looking at about £80 on TC for GM ones, but I'm looking at 20 - 30 for a set off the bay. Any reason why I should go for the cheeper aftermarket option in this case?

Also, whilst on TC i noticed there were 3 different engine codes for the 2.5 TD. Which one would be fitted in a 1994/5 M plate model?

Cheers

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / 2.2 Petrol ECU's

« on: 17 October 2011, 18:50:20 »

Below are pictures of the main ECU's from two 2001 2.2 Petrol Autos...

Although the two-letter code and part numbers are the same, some of the other codes are different,

Could someone please tell me whether these 2 ECU's are interchangeable please?

Also is there anything else other than the immobiliser ring and key transponders that need to be changed over as well (key remotes and alarm ecu perhaps)

TIA

Omega General Help / F/L bumper skins onto a pre F/L saloon

« on: 14 October 2011, 22:25:27 »

As title, do the skins go straight on, or do the black metal bars have to be replaces as well? Anything else that also has to be changed over (thinking wheel arch liners, etc)?

TIA

General Discussion Area / The baby's head is very wet!

« on: 30 September 2011, 22:36:51 »

Just got home from a Friday night drink at my local, with the boys from the village. As it turns out, the had dragged me there in order to wet my baby's head!

After several months of being on call to drive to the delivery suite at the hospital, its hit me hard!! Vision is an issue and tomorrow signals a gauranteed hangover!!

You have no idea how many times I've reviewed this post, in lieu of the modify button, before hitting send!

Car Parts, bits For Sale & Wanted / Facelift 2.2 CD petrol auto Breaking for spares

« on: 30 September 2011, 17:12:36 »

When I bought this car I was hopeful that it could be put back on the road. Unfortunately, the rear end accident damage (it was driven into whilst parked on the road outside the owners house) is too severe, so it is with regret that she's going to be broken.

The car was originally a company car (for about 9 months). Then was bought by an older gent that had it until earlier this year, when he stopped driving and gave it to his grandaughter. The car has only covered 37,500 miles, with a full service history and old MOT's to back it up.

I shall add to this thread as I sort out other parts, but I'll start off with...

Bare engine £200
AR25 Autobox £100
Diff £50

Collection preferred, but delivery can be arranged at extra cost.

ADMIN Note: Am I allowed to include youtube links to videos of the engine running? Can't see anything in the rules against it, but thought I'd better check first.

Car Parts, bits For Sale & Wanted / Wanted: F/L Irmscher Front Bumper

« on: 28 September 2011, 22:59:34 »

I'm not concerned about colour or minor scuffs/scratches/chips/etc as I will be repainting it regardless.

Would prefer it to be free of major damage though (unlike the one on the bay), foglights and all fixings must be free of damage.

Cash waiting, thanks.
