Omega General Help / gear box and diff oil checks auto gear box

« on: 01 December 2017, 11:49:58 »

how does one decide on how often to check the oil levels. If there appears to be no leakage do you leave well alone or check at regular intervals. I had mine checked roughly 13,000mls ago and feel that it is time to check again any thoughts.Haynes states 70,000 mls change gear box oil and filter?

Omega General Help / cam belt change

« on: 01 May 2017, 13:23:29 »

I know it is recommended to change V6 belt and bearings etc at 4years or 40000mls, whichever comes first I assume.4 years comes up in august but I have only done 13000mls . What would the experts say. By the way James fitted my last one and found it was a tooth out probably fitted by somebody without the skill of James.
