Omega General Help / Re: help thermostats not the right one

« on: 21 April 2014, 21:55:02 »

Whilst I understand your point Nick, the less fuss made, the more likely they are to keep screwing up... 

How hard is it to type a reg/chassis number into the factory parts system and produce a part number that might actually bolt straight on or is it just me...

Yes it is 
Only joking mate. You're quite right of course, and there is a certain amount of banging your head against the wall at the parts dept

If you mean the bolts are too long for the new housing, then that's normal. The base of the new stat is much shallower than the old. I used a number of washers to pack mine out, though I think replacement bolts of an appropriate length are available.
Apologies if I have misread the post.

Replaced drop links (again ).
So much easier when you jack up both sides, and have decent ratchet spanners

Should be a manual over ride,remove cover that is where the roof motor is,usally a special key,allen key or flat head screw driver slot

Thanks a lot. I'll go out and have a look 

Brilliant! Aperture in the centre of motor for an Allen key. Just wound it back. On testing, the roof works fine, EXCEPT when fully opened backwards. Not sure if that's a lazy motor or perhaps it's simply stuck at full extension. Something else to investigate 

Thanks for the help though. At least it's now closed
