Post by: matt-sboro on 31 July 2009, 22:28:04: i wasnt expecting the welding bit either - i suspected that if it did fail it would be brakes.

its not worth much as a fully working car so i dont want to spend much fixing it to pass with a big oil leak that i cant find.

You checked the Rocker cover gaskets?

Worth more scrapped to be honest.

Post by: matt-sboro on 31 July 2009, 23:08:17: had them changed with the cambelt about 8 months ago and replaced them again last week. just need to check the half moon section is deffo dry

oil is on the bottom of the gearbox rather than the engine - you also get the smell of oil after a prolonged drive too.

seen a very nice 2.8 vectra estate vxr with leather recaros for 10k

Post by: Varche on 01 August 2009, 12:05:27: Is it still taxed?

Where is the welding that is required?

Is it losing engine oil or gearbox oil do you know?

Automatic?

xenon headlights with washer jets?

Post by: matt-sboro on 01 August 2009, 14:16:27: ok

cambelt was done 8 months ago at 150k - car stands at 154k now

rocker cover gaskets have been done again - just need to check there is no oil at the half moon section to prove these are in place.

no idea where the oil is coming from - i am sure it is engine oil as i have needed to put small amounts in.

doesnt loose water

mechanically i have had no issues with the car

tyres are wearing on inner edge so will need the camber setting up to new values but 4 tyres are vertually brand new apart from wear on inner edge, so once they are swapped with the rear wheels they will be fine

tax has run out yesterday

working xenon headlamps with working washer jets

manual box

climate control and a/c

interior great condition with no rips or tears or worn bolsters

Post by: matt-sboro on 01 August 2009, 16:10:08: ok spoke to the garage earlier and it needs new discs on the rear (judder and may solve my vibrating steering wheel too if they are warped)

front inner wings need the welding

do we have any idea what its worth as spares/repair?

Post by: Richard A on 02 August 2009, 12:58:05: Front Inner Wings - Welded, do you know this garage well, I have seen and owned a good number of Omegas of all ages, never ever seen inner wings that needed or had been welded. :o
