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

It's unlike me, but I'm sick of this project now and I'm going to offer it up for sale to anyone who thinks they can fix it.
I unpacked my new ECU, Key transponder and immobiliser unit, and installed it all in the car today. Not a sod of difference I'm afraid. Still no EML and No spark. So - I change the engine management loom which involved lots of crawling about. No joy. same symptoms. I put some fresh earth straps on the body and engine - no difference.
Then checked all connections, and went back inside the cabin. I noticed that JUST the EML was on! I then looked at the engine bay, and to my horror my New ECU had somehow fallen across the battery terminals and had caused a short. So that's probably buggered now.
Even though there are no lights at all on the dash (engine still turns over) - I can still hear the relays making a noise in the ECU box.
Although the car is mint, this has gone far enough for an N reg 2.0, it's cold and dark early, and I've given up - if there are no magic suggestions, it will be sold as scrap tomorrow

I used to get my hands caked in oil, but now I am really careful and wear rubber gloves before I even open a bonnet.
Its not good for you to keep getting hands covered.
100 latex gloves for £6, works wonders!
