« on: 02 April 2016, 13:46:04 »

Omega General Help / Another Coolant ?

« on: 26 March 2016, 22:53:48 »

recently replaced lower hose from matrix to that electric motor looking thing on inner off Side guard with new Vx part. Problem. Stinks of Anti freeze when fan kicks in. Absolutely no leaks I can see anywhere. Driving me nuts, no smell in car with heater on, yet park up stand outside and enjoy the aroma . Neighbour says its when I changed hose and coolant got onto different surfaces, takes time to burn off. No muck on dipstick or oil in expansion. What I'm I missing Chaps

Omega General Help / Heater hose Clips

« on: 04 March 2016, 18:56:09 »

 Hi guys could someone tell me, those odd looking clips on heater hoses which feed heater matrix. Engine side. Do they come off as I'm not sure if the clip or hose or both have failed. Maybe a daft ? Does a jubilee suffice if your desperate

General Discussion Area / Hi Tech Speed Cameras

« on: 31 October 2015, 18:19:32 »

Have been noticing new speed Cameras being erected lately on M40/A40 and on A406 Neasden London. Interestingly it's the set up that concerns me. 2 Cameras mounted overhead, then 20yards or so in front 8 flash heads mounted in Series. On my in to London this morning on M40/A40, I see the there is a Lovely Sign stating.. As of 26 Oct New Advance Speed Cameras in Force .  Does Anyone know what these things capable of. I.e are similar to Average Speed Cameras and if so why are the Flash thingys in front of them. Or Has Tech moved on so much now these things are capable of monitoring 1000s of vehicles at a time and should speed up to much between them, when you arrive at next camera, you get singled out and get Flashed regardless of approach speed. I hope I'm completely wrong Guys...

Is Martin Imber still about these days guys and does he still do Key Fob Repairs. Not 1 but both of mine have given up. Good job I removed the Power Sounder some time ago or the Neighbours would be dropping heavy objects off their Balconies

General Car Chat / Mot pased

« on: 30 May 2015, 23:06:38 »

Mot passed after car was sorn for a month, could not find any time to sort the motor,as I have just bought a property. Gave to a local guy, fitted a new Vx Discs pads and Bilstein rear shocks, I cannot believe how much the drive has been improved, he told me one of the calliper s was seized.which he sorted. But considering the Motor 15 years old I'm considering putting new calipers in. Is this a good option guys, members recommend Vx disc and pad kit, how about calipers

« on: 04 April 2015, 15:52:46 »

Greeting chaps, as above, visited local Watford Vx this morning, purchased oil + fuel filter. £21inc,no problem with that, priced disc + pad set £146 inc ok with that as that's what's going on anyway, also priced rear shocks £90 each I think not. Can someone recommend something suitable rear shock wise for Mv6 price wise and rear brake pipes need replacing, where do I get these. Wishbone kit as per Taxi Al s recommendation going in as well.

Is it just my remote key chaps or do you find if you park near one them, near as in even a 100yards. I can't lock or unlock the doors on the remote which means whatever they emit is capable of blocking remote.
