Omega General Help / Screech diagnosis
« on: 05 December 2010, 21:07:19 »
Nasty screech developed from engine area.

Worse when cold start, or after idle, sometimes at random. Just about goes when warmed up.

I suspect the usual water pump/alternator. Does the accessory belt have a tensioner that would screech when on it's way out?

Any other suspects? I'd like to be armed when taking it to garage.   ;D

Newbie Welcome Area / Greetings

Hello, just acquiring an extremely well looked after 1997 2.5 TD CD Saloon. First timer for any Vauxhall let alone an Omega despite driving and biking for 30+ years.

Read loads on here already, thanks for it all.

My tech understanding level is high but is cancelled out by a near total inability to use spanners without tearing my hands to shreds.   :D

Cheers!

Admin - please move to sale/wanted, Thank you.

Pre-facelift 2.5TD (BMW) rattling quickly traced to loose black plastic cover on top of engine, I think its called the "Manifold cover"?

There should be 3 black plastic screw fasteners, the one at the rear and one of the 2 at the front are missing causing it to flap about loudly ... actually really loud!. I don't have anything in the junk box that fits.

If you can provide, please PM me.

Payment available via paypal/bank transfer/cheque/postal order/coins sellotaped to an old Christmas card.

Thanks for reading  :)

Omega Gallery / My 1997 2.5 TD CD Manual
« on: 26 April 2009, 18:32:55 »
Just gave it some wax...It's got some naff respray with no laquer on a couple of panels and the start of rust bubbling in the usual places. It has been carefully maintained though, with 5k or less oil & filter all detailed in the history. Plain-jane tractor block, pulls well and seems to do around 35mpg on short inter-urban, very smooth drive so no complaints in the first 3 weeks!

Another Omega stays alive, one advisory (first since 2005)

Nearside Front Steering pivot point has slight play (2.2.B.1g)

What a solid car, the doors will rust away before the mechanical bits fall off.    ;)

General Discussion Area / Getting older?
« on: 04 March 2010, 10:32:22 »
Three sisters, ages 92, 94 and 96, live in a house together. One night the 96-year-old draws a bath. She puts her foot in and pauses. She yells to the other sisters, 'Was I getting in or out of the bath?'

The 94-year-old yells back, 'I don't know. I'll come up and see.' She starts up the stairs and pauses 'Was I going up the stairs or down?'

The 92-year-old is sitting at the kitchen table having tea listening to her sisters. She shakes her head and says, 'I sure hope I never get that forgetful, knock on wood.' She then yells, 'I'll come up and help both of you as soon as I see who's at the door.'

A little old lady was running up and down the halls in a nursing home. As she walked, she would flip up the hem of her nightgown and say 'Supersex..' She walked up to an elderly man in a wheelchair. Flipping her gown at him, she said, 'Supersex.'

He sat silently for a moment or two and finally answered, 'I'll take the soup.'

General Discussion Area / More Cadbury news....
« on: 15 February 2010, 19:20:42 »
Mr. Cadbury met Miss Rowntree on a Double Decker. It was just After Eight.

They got off at Quality Street , in front of the Fisherman's Friend pub.

He asked her name. "Polo, I'm the one with the hole", she said in a Wispa.

"I'm Marathon , the one with the nuts", he replied.

He touched her Creme Eggs, then slipped his hand into her Snickers.

He fondled her Flap Jacks, while she rubbed his Tic Tacs.

It was a Fab moment, and she screamed in Turkish Delight.

But three days later his Sherbert Fountain started to drip.

Turns out Miss Rowntree had been with Bertie Bassett, who had Allsorts.

Ooooooooooooo....so naughty!!!           :D
