I didn't notice any difference when using it in my V6 - but i DID notice a BIG drop in MPG compared to usual 95 ron.

As Tunnie says, in Brackley, we have had to tolerate this for 5 or 6 years. Black bin for rubbish, green for compostable, emptied on alternate weeks. In the summer, it does stink.
I had a long discussion with some dozy bimbo from the council, asking where my £1500 per year goes - pavement upkeep (dont have any my way), police (where?), library (dont use), schools (dont use), rubbish collection.
So, I pay £1500 per year to have my bin emptied 26 times - so over £55 a time. She agreed, this wasn't value for money...
Quality.....

Sounds like your flat battery is causing a lot of your evils, you may wanna charge it up, and give the car a run every few days 
I agree about the split views over trade centre auctions, but the pictures look stunning, if I could get it cheap enough, it would be well worth a transplant I guess...

What a pain in the ass. I'm sorry to hear this mate. As you know, I too am being driven to drink by immobiliser probs on the 2.0 project.
I expect Jamie will know all the answers though

It wouldn't be posts, it would be a live chat room.
Hows about I just create one on my personal web space, so you admins can glance an eye on how it would look and work? If you don't like it, I'll ditch it with no hard feelings

General Discussion Area / Omega Owners Chat Room?
« on: 06 December 2006, 22:16:56 »
How about a chat room, as part of the forum site?
I was thinking an IRC based one, with a web based "front end" attached to this site for users to access (or use mIRC if they prefer)
I for one am confident with how IRC works and would be happy to work alongside the admins to implement and maintain / moderate the chatroom, on an ongoing basis.
With this setup, users could have their own individual logins, and the room could be made "invite only" so there are loads of opportunities to make sure it's not abused.
Just a thought, what does anyone else think?

I am, which is why I don't have much more time to spend tracing electrical crap on a 2.0 N reg

Although, I must admit I have bought a couple of late Rover 400 series cars with K series engines as spares/repairs (blown head gaskets) - slapped new gaskets + timing belt kits in them (afternoons work on them) and made a healthy £600 profit on each.
Quick turnaround too

I've got a car that runs, so to be honest I'd be more than happy with a 3.0 Elite project for myself. Wouldn't mind doing any engine work such as rebuilding heads - but with a view to me keeping it for my own car at the end!
I've never done a project to make money, just for fun and to learn...

Only problem being, they end before I can get up there to view them.

An Omega Elite. Not worried about what year it is. Must be in good condition bodywise, and have clean leather interior. Any colour leather is fine as long as it's clean. Must be a 3.0, and Auto. Climate control would be nice but not essential.
Engine wise/mileage, I'm not so worried, as long as it's not been to the moon and back. If it's got a few non-terminal issues, or needs cambelt change/servicing etc that's fine.
Not looking to pay big money, but don't expect to get it for nothing either.
If anyone knows of anything suitable, please let me know
