Just buy another Omega with 12 months MOT
unless you have another car already  :-\
finding something other than an Omega as a replacement might prove hard
as many have found out  :-X
It's not hard, it's impossible. You need to go cold turkey... Buy a £500 shitter and rag it senseless for the winter. Then buy a proper car that takes your fancy. Seeemples >:D
cheaper options also available
clicky

General Car Chat / Re: So what have you done to your car today?

Reset the traps under the bonnet of the mighty Signum.

They were empty with the bait gone. :-\

clicky ;)
put it in a mister/spray bottle (you could dilute in a carrier oil )  and spray the infested car
you can buy ready made repellent that contains mint oil but that would be weaker.& watered down.
mice and rats hate mint apparently  ;)

I put E5 in the Omega ,seems to get slightly better MPG  :-\ or maybe i'm kidding myself   ;D
As the Omega has knock sensors, you should be able to get better MPG off it, *IF* you don't make use of the extra power you can also achieve.
My MPG is over 24 right now
"not trying" I hear you say  ;D
truth is ,there's so many diversions to avoid floods/roadworks, the A38 at Lichfield HS2 delays etc etc ,I can't get my speed up and press on  :-X
my MPM (minutes per mile) has gone to sh!t  :(

« on: 10 December 2023, 12:17:47 »
The belts are used for several other models ,so probably manufactured recently
the Gates I recently purchased  doesn't look "old"
obviously ,like tyres etc ,there is "new old stock" being sold too

I've never put E10 in any of my cars since its was introduced. Rather pay a few pence more for the 'better' stuff E5 - ethanol...is...horrible....stuff >:(

I also pit E5 in the 2002 astra G 1.4 as it's rarely used.

Mr M Mouse, and child, formerly of South Lincolnsausageshire.RIP  :'(

...also deceased Mrs M Mouse, who threw herself into the trap following the death of her child. ;D
Let's hope the other 46 members of the family follow the trend  :y

I'm now making new a new surround cage out of an old (metal) Quality Street tin. If they want the bait they won't be able to gnaw through that. :)
Micky just texted me and asked for a borrow of my angle grinder  :D

I've noticed the N/S/R door loom to be a problem (windows, speakers etc) on all 4 Carlton's I had plus other Vauxhalls

Have you ordered the door loom that goes inside the door   ???
surely it's the loom that cones out of the B pillar that's the issue (that plugs into the door ) by the hinge  :-\

that's if it's the same as the front setup

Astra has replacement repair loom sections for this issue , not sure about Omega B
The rear door plug is in the B post ;)
Ah  :-[
Thanks Al
I never sit in the cheap seats in the back ,so didn't know  :P
