Correct wording is Attachment as in attach something to your email but I suspect at our age something along the lines of Paperclip or Inserting something will suffice 
Anyway it's your own bloody fault for using something with the words Gmail, Chrome or Google in the same sentence

The chances of being on a 'plane with two bombs on board is many billions to one.
So if/when the airlines ever start flying again you'll be much safer from terrorism if you take your own bomb with you
....but what if it's the Pilots turn.

Last time I bought a packet of KP Salted Peanuts there was an EU Directive Warning on the Pack that said "May contain Nuts"
Talking of Nuts do we get our Marathon Chocolate Bar back now.

Omega General Help / Re: Omega LSD
« on: 22 December 2019, 00:12:41 »I have had many ex police senators and omegas 3.0 /3.2 manual and auto with LSD. On acquisition from the BCA or WOMA auctions they always performed 100% and were actually a nice tight diff that locked up good and early. I usually changed the diff oil and refilled with gm diff oil and tube of gm friction modifier at 100k and in every case the were performing really well many miles later.I agree with everything youve just said there.
Best way to acquire one now is to buy an mot failed ex police omega for pennies and strip it.
Apart from the last sentence.
There was a time when you couldnt give away Ex Plod Omega,s, now there like Rocking Horse Poo.
Edit: and there worth a fair bit now considering the fitments.
Just thought I,d through that last bit in case I decide to sell any of mine.

Omega General Help / Re: Alarm going off
« on: 19 December 2019, 14:59:14 »Ok thanks, all was quiet last night thank goodness and I will spend some time tinkering over the festive period to make it safe.As said just unplug the Bonnet Sensor, Bin the Power Sounder asap.
As a temp measure, assuming the car is parked somewhere secure, ish, Lock the Drivers Door by pushing the button down on the Drivers Door via the rear Door, that will lock the Car (not Dead Locked) and stop the Alarm from being activated until you get it sorted.

Omega General Help / Re: Omega LSD
« on: 19 December 2019, 14:41:37 »Just to throw doubt into proceedings, just have a google and research what shape a 20+ year old LSD is likely to be in, even on low miles, versus what you are intending to gain from the fitting of such. I seem to recall reading a rather in depth look at, amongst others, an Omega LSD from a top OEM (Prodrive, someone like that), and they tested it to discover it had lost 50% of its effectiveness after 80k.In my experience, most of the LSD's from Ex Plod Cars were good, assuming you could get the Car relatively quickly from the Force and hasn't been round the Block a few times with 2nd Hand Owners.
I'm sure my figures are well off, but it was something like the above.
I'm biased in as much as I've never ran a car with one, but is it 'pub bragging rights', or are you building a track day car, or something else?
Or sadly where some Muppet from Vauxhalls or A N Other Garage topped up the LSD's with Standard Diff Oil and killed them off.

Edit. He was online 30th November. Not as long as I thought. Might be worth dropping him a PM.
Just checked and Sir Tigger QC is currently catching Me up in second place with 200 Days, happy days.

« on: 19 December 2019, 14:26:15 »Ive only got 2 LSD's left and there both still attached to 3.2 Manual Specials and I'd like to keep them that way.Zirk used to have a couple, but I haven't noticed him online for quite a while.Thanks, how do I find Zirk?
Edit. He was online 30th November. Not as long as I thought. Might be worth dropping him a PM.
I did have a couple of good 3.9 (Auto) LSD ones but sadly they belong to the DVLA now as I forgot I left them in a Boot of a Car
I would say the chances of finding any now are zero, most of the Ex Plod ones where for Manual Boxes (3.7 Ratio) so the chances of finding any 3.9 Ratios for your Auto is probably a non starter.
You could fit a 3.7 Ratio LSD but it wont feel or run right with an Auto box especially when it come the the Final Lock Up on the Box at Mid Speeds and Hills on a Cruise, like wise you can fit a 3.9 to a Manual, get a bit more grunt on Acceleration with the higher Ratio, but it will drive you Mad on a Motorways with a V6 Revving at 3K at 70mph.
