Another one moved on from Omegas - hope you get as much enjoyment from your new motor as I've had/having from the two Jags I've had since my old Elite. You'll soon realise that Omegas are now outdated, as one would expect from a 13 yo+ car. Reminds me of this every time I drive SWMBOs Estate.

Yep sounds like the warning lamp bulb has been removed or has failed. Easy enough job to get instrument cluster out to check/fit new bulb (10 mins at most) - there's a howto on here.

Your whole saga is just unbelievable and unacceptable - I'm currently in the market for a replacement for SWMBOs Omega Estate, and was looking at Mercedes, 3, maybe 4 years old. Your experience does very little to promote MB IMO. Have to say that I've had company MBs a few years back and found the main dealerships ok (I used one in Colchester), obviously from your experience things have changed.
Pity Jaguar doesn't make a decent sized Estate, as I've found their aftersales/service excellent.

General Discussion Area / Re: Drink driving
« on: 04 March 2016, 23:36:38 »The girl i was on about before STILL drives & is a raging alcoholic, been trying to catch her at it for the past 2 months since the trial but due to numbers I'm never on the same beat. She'll come again, hopefully before she causes damage to someone elseAs frustrating as I am sure that is, what would catching her again do? Especially if you're specifically targeting them as an individual
Not condoning her behaviour in any shape, but legally, is it better for her to be caught bang to rights following a serious rtc than risk CPS throwing it out and a misconduct charge for victimisation
Thats surely a bit of a stupid viewpoint - how would you feel if you or yours were the victims of a serious rtc in those circumstances? Probably blame the police for not being proactive.
They are criminals.
Exactly

Also got a ETS 2.5 Estate system for SWMBOs 2.6 Estate - got local indy tyre/exhaust place to fit it for, I think, £40. Quiet and no issues since (fitted well over a year ago)

General Car Chat / Re: Seen two things that have surprised me today...
« on: 02 March 2016, 22:05:30 »In the Haynes museum, Sparkford, is a Jaguar V12 that used to be John Haynes personal transport. Beside it is a picture of John Haynes, and a plate stating that the engine was a nightmare, and hardly ever ran on all 12 cylinders despite all the efforts of Jaguar mechanics..Yep used to look after a mates XJS V12 - PITA to do anything on - makes a V6 Omega look like a Mini. Much preferred working on my old 3.8 E Type.

Harris K Thingy is selling an Estate, ad in sales plus numerous other refs to it in other posts, price is dropping by the hour - if you hang on long enough it may be cheap enough or even free

Omega General Help / Re: 2.6 auto gearbox sump gasket
« on: 02 March 2016, 21:57:01 »DLK swopped mine over several years ago and it was a heavy bit of kit.
He did insist on use of a friends garage 4 post ramp and without it I fail to see how anybody could replace 1 just on axle stands or ramps.
The genius had it replaced in around 3 hours which included filling with new Dex and checking levels in between gear shifts.A true hard job but he made light work of it
Replaced autobox on my old Elite, incl refill Dex and filter clean, on my drive with axle stands/trolley jacks with help from a mate in around 3 hours. Easy enough job, we were lucky that exhaust dropped out easily. Just be careful removing box - its a weighty old lump.
