Sorry to lower the tone ;D

;D didn't even realise what I'd written.. must have been a good night.
Thanks Mark :y. I'm almost certainly coming Saturday am and will bring the bones off Omega 2.

Can you take the ones for ChrisGixer back with you?
-

Do you have all the bits i.e. manifold gasket, front pipe gasket, rear coolant pipe O ring etc?
-
Sure. You have them already do you?

Yep, with the new Merle bushes fitted.....would save some postage :y

Did the Merle bushes work ok then? I've got 2 cars worth sitting here..

Certainly they fit no problem and the quality looks excellent, as good as the Vx ones if not better!
Time will tell once fitted though and make sure they are fitted correctly with the front bush bolt tightened with the car on the deck (eh LooKnee!)

Have nothing yet, wasnt really planning on it to be honest, but if there is time / space / inclination wouldnt mind learning the job.
-
I could go for rear suspension bushes if the tool is available and I'm feeling left out drinking while everyone else is working on cars. Put me low on the list though, not a high priority item.
-
MID Needs Reprogramming! and serpentine belt is due for replacement!
-
I need to silence the clunk of doom again!
This will be about the 4th washer it will be on now!
Oh and fix the beep for the rear parking sensors that have stopped beeping....
Both jobs I can do tho :y
-
key reprogram if poss, i have a spare megamos transmitter and security code :y
diff input oil seal if anyone is feeling brave ;D
-
Any key fobs needing doing could be collected
-
Mark, can you have a peek at my Camber please?
Also, I would really appreciate a gearbox and climate update .
-
I suspect my jobs for the weekend involve standing behind a BBQ for long periods ::).......while getting slowly sozzled! :D
-
Have a go at wiring in and coding a key for this stupid central locking system ;D

Cam belt ,water pump and spark plugs and maybe tech 11 to check codes my TC light problem reappeared this morning its been ok for ages but came on twice today :( I have some key fobs I can bring down if any one needs one may be able to help someone out :y
-
unfortunately, it does sound like the passenger side exhaust gasket is going/gone, ticking noise coming from that side (but only hear it when the stereos turned off ;D).
so what bits do I need to bring apart from the gasket, part numbers would be handy aswell :y....and will there be enough tools?

Are these the bits I also require for the passenger side ::)
-
You won't need the coolant pipe O ring.

Wouldn't mind adjusting my camber, with a watchful eye over me.... Mark can you bring your spirit level..... Pleeeeeeeeeeze..
DC ;)

Whilst it is a quick and dirty way to get the camber closer, it is no replacement for getting geometry done properly :-/

I disagree on the camber setting
So far, its got every car I have done to within 5% of ideal! (confirmed by placing the vehicles on a proper setup at a later date)
What I cant do is get the tracking right!
And, its better to do it this way than leave it as it is

Sorry, I probably didn't make myself clear enough. The spirit level can get it almost bang on (assuming entirely flat surface for car), but this + tracking is no substitute for a proper geometry check/adjust.
Resetting the camber with a spirit level, if its way off, will help reduce the cronic wear on the shoulders though.
-
The Meega had a propper geo set up at the VX dealers, I recall Mark seeing the print out and saying that the camber was incorrect and the adjustment need only be tweeked to correct it... happy to go with that :)
As you say, I need an even surface.... Mmmmmmmmmmm! Newent!
I know, infront of the Fire Station doors ;D ;D ;D ;D

Ah, right, that should be fine then :y. How much else of the geometry did they say was 'near enough' rather than 'right'?

I think it was all pretty much smack on..

So, should I scare up some rear susp bushes? Any suggestions on where?

Which ones?

As it's probably NOT the place to do an ATF and filter change .... :( all I'm after is "someone who knows" to show me what this "claying" is all about ... I've bought a kit .... :y and some advice on what to do about the paint around the sunroof .. :)
More than willing to bring extra tools and cam kit if that will help anyone.
:)

Front pivot of the rear arms.

i'll quite happily show you how to clay the car, i will even bring some cracking carnauba polish with me :y
-
Knock Ljay's off the list, will sort it again when I have time to get the parts. Lots of jobs appearing and 2 manifold gaskets is too much.
-
would appreciate auto box update if time prevails
tia :y

I'll take you up on that offer ... and supply some internal lubricant in exchange :)

Remember that it needs to be clean before you clay it.
You will also need a paint treatment (Auto Glym Super Resin is ok) before applying any protective wax coat.

Or in my case, some metal, rather than its oxides ;D
