Omega General Help / Cooling fan question
« on: 17 August 2020, 18:51:42 »
Evening fellas. I hope you’re all well 😃😃😃
Is it normal for the cooling fans to run a lot on the omega? It’s just something I’ve noticed that in town driving it’s on a lot. Absolutely no overheating issues or anything like that and I appreciate it’s warm. But every time I get home I notice it’s on. Any thoughts? 😃👍👍👍

Yeah absolutely it makes sense. My boss did his in dark blue inc. the hats. They looked epic. That blue is available through the seller I linked to earlier just another option for Lizzie 😃

Lizzie I promise u won’t regret painting them. I did mine in situ on the car and carefully painted with a small brush. I also did the hats of the discs

I used this...
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/SILVER-BRAKE-CALIPER-PAINT-METAL-STEEL-ENGINE-High-Temperature-125ml/162123114796
I did them few weeks back and still looking good. Tiny pot of paint but it lasts. I used heat gun between coats as I did fronts then rears.

To add... this guy even called me to run through car specifics to make sure it was correct. Was very impressed 👍👍👍

I replaced both fan switches when I had random town driving overheats. All cured now.
They are both still available from Vaux but are priced at IIRC £40 plus vat each
so got one from GSF and the other wasn’t available from anywhere other than supplier on eBay. I’ll try and find where I got it for you.

Yeah fair comments mate. I’ll try the stationery “S” and see what it’s like. If not I’ll use annihilators one cos that’s still got the letter on just a touch faded.

...and Anihalator is sending me a new “S” button.
I was going to try and refurbish my old one as a spare (I get really greasy and dirty at work so can totally see this happening again)
What do u reckon... a careful “S” tippexed followed by lacquer? Or maybe an S from a stationeries shop.
