General Car Chat / daily driver

« on: 09 May 2015, 01:28:16 »

bought the Elite estate new as i needed a comfortable van at the time, and over the years its been well used and abused by me and my employees.  noticed that many on here either don't have omegas now or have an omega plus another car.  whats your current daily driver, omega or another?

It is Fire Damage..But on saying that, Each green Batt pack is made up of 3 small batts And Inside they Are wet (leaking)

Battery 'acid' is abit of a misnomer, but alkaline substances will corrode just as effectively as acidic ones

Seen enough burnt pcbs to confirm that is burnt

Mines an 03.  New kit fitted by Vx @ 79K, new kit fitted by me @ around 150K, now on around 170K.  If it doesn't rot away, I'll be fitting the next one about 230K

Good luck   

So you are going for the 80K 

Why not, its done it twice before.  kit i took out looked fine, rollers and belt both ok.

Besides its now worth two tenths of fa. and i know what i paid for it new

Suspensionwise no issues - runs straight and true - just need 2 new rear tyres (worn out evenly) Good tracking place, tracking no good on these, full geo only.
cam cover gaskets and breathers done last year, oil, plugs and filters are normal service items anyway.
thanks anyway, but remember have owned this motor from new

Not worked on the 4 pots for years.  On V6 easy enough to refit original GM spring clips.
