General Car Chat / diesel injectors

« on: 13 April 2014, 13:09:42 »

Hi all, I'm after a little advice, I've got a 2004 1.5dci megane with a few issues, I've done a leak test on the injectors and they are all knackered https://www.dropbox.com/s/g6ws7wkocbmodnr/20140412_151630.jpg
in the picture the black line on the cups is 35ml and in the renault service book it says any more than this after 2 minutes of idling and 4 full accelerations is a fail, I stopped my engine after only 35/40 seconds idle.

My question is do I get these injectors reconditioned or should I just go and buy re-con ones.

General Car Chat / Farewell

« on: 19 March 2014, 11:42:18 »

Hello to all at OOF, I am sad to declare I am leaving the land of Omega ownership, after only 13 months with my sport estate she had to go to another carer.
I have to say that this forum is probably the best and most helpful, useful and welcoming I've had the pleasure to be part of, DelSolUK is a nice community but still nothing on you guys.
In the short time I had my omega it needed an exhaust middle n rear and that's about it so good going there, but with the house income going down to one the best option was to move her on and get something sh*t/cheaper to run.

So one week on from selling her I'm visiting dealers saying (what you got for £600) and being presented with..... well I found 1.0 fiat UNO (nice), a 1.8 sierra sapphire (porus) a saxo vtr (smokey) and just about every kind of non runner out there, you just CAN'T beat the quality for price on these migs.

I do hope that one day I will buy another Omega and re-join the family but until then good bye.

I picked this up last weekend and can't work out why I didn't buy one 10 years ago.

Whilst changing a stop lamp I noticed these just dangling around, any idea what they are for?[https://www.dropbox.com/s/tmc8jzlu4820lxn/photo2.JPG][/img]

Newbie Welcome Area / Hi to all

« on: 12 February 2013, 09:30:36 »

I would like to give every one here a happy HELLO!
Well I picked up my new ride last weekend and WOW, my rusty old focus burned through £15 of diesel going from Margate to Gillingham so it had to go (plus 4 light prangs in 6 years made it slightly more angular than desired).
My father-in-law had a black 98 2.5 manual some time ago and always said how good it was but I was in my early 20's and obsessed with mitsy evo's and the like, all I could see in it was grandad.
Back on track, I'm now 31 my focus was dying with two dogs and a baby soon to be here I needed an estate, I looked at the run of the mill foci and astra which in diesel estate form with acceptable millage was out of my price range, in fact pretty much anything diesel estate in manual is over priced right now in my eyes.
So, my father-in-law spots this silver omega at a local garage and said go look at it (oh no not them again I thought) 2.2 sport, AUTO! how's that gonna save me money, but I looked any way.
MY03 74k on the clock FSH with recipts and only just over a grand after a haggle, after 3 days I'm sure it's the best car I've ever owned![https://www.dropbox.com/s/be8snkfznkfzqpz/photo1.JPG][/img]
