Omega General Help / Re: Cam covers leaking
« on: 15 October 2023, 16:54:39 »
Hello
I have just been reading something in german about a crank breather that has a sort of one way membrane that aparently 'sticks open' at old age...

Will post the link here  maybe it will work

 New to me, someone with knowledge might have an opinion, didn't even know it was a thing.

From the UK, you are likely to struggle I reckon.  Off top of my head, I can only think of 1 person with an LSD in their Omega, and I'd guess he ain't selling ;D.

As Opels in euroland were more coveted than the Vauxhalls in the UK, you might have better luck from the EU hotspots of Omega, like Poland.  You could also try a private message to biggriffin, as he and Serek used to have an interesting selection of parts from breakers :)

 Nil stock of LSD's sold last one wee while ago for £300.

I've only ever had 1 of my many Omega with leaking cam covers, this was  on my 1st ever Omega, once the Gorilla of a ham fisted Mechanic had learned the error of his ways, never happened again.

Heat. Get them glowing red hot, then undo. Works every time

To the OP,, if you add you location there might be members close by who can offer help..

 And to stir the pot, I don't remove scuttle to change HBV,, and I've done 1 or 2.

Good point about will anyone be sacked.

The cost to the nation would no doubt have been immense.for the manhunt.With resources diverted, other crimes would go unmanaged or not even investigated.


 I'll bet there will be a few early retirement due to medical grounds happening, with a full pension..

Having delivered to various "High security" establishments, Prison are not very throug with vehicles leaving,"they will be now"   Familiarity breeds contempt, will find the bidfoods goes there every day,same driver, sees certain staff members every day. Possibly gets a cup of tea from kitchen..  It's sometimes harder to get in and out of discount superstores than Military bases..

Watched coolant dripping from the back of the engine on the Omega  :(
probably the HBV (new one in the spares hoard  ;D) ,
I need it to cool off before i strip the scuttle tray to actually know .
sods law ,the spare astra my brother has  ::)
I serviced and MOTed his astra last weekend (passed, no advisories)  8)
he'd not returned the spare astra and took his dirty diesel astra estate back  ::)
not that i want to slum it in an astra anyway  :D


Hbv can be changed without removing the scuttle...

Cars for Sale & wanted / Re: 2003 Black 3.2 Elite Saloon For Sale

>:( :(
Pardon?  ;D

I think BigGriff recently acquired an Omega and either doesn't have the room at Griff Towers for another or Mrs BigGriff says NO!   ;D

Yes I have, but but, can never have enough things to not do House/Garden type stuff.
