Omega General Help / Re: Spin-on oil filter
« on: 25 March 2025, 19:23:28 »
As long as you change the oil annually and don't over tighten it, the standard one is better, easier, cleaner and usually cheaper.

The paper filter is readily available, and was used beyond the Omega.

What about this one....

Looks cleaner than I'd have expected.

Must be all that Scottish drizzle  :D
Mrs TB took it to some Eastern Europeans a week or so ago....   ...not that they did a great job TBH.

Wild guess, Loch Lomond.  :-\   What’s going on, you’ve cleaned the Jag.  :o :o ;D
Up above Fort William (mostly hidden over edge of hill), so Loch Linnhe.

Dear Lord, have I become one of those drivers that I used to laugh at and say ‘where’s the ficks that idiot going’.  :(
I was in Scarborough today, and said to Mrs TB "where's the ficks that idiot going"

;D

 ;D ;D
I managed a trip to Whitby today without breaking the law.  :y  We’re having a run to York tomorrow so I think it’s best if we use Park and Ride to save my nerves lol.  ;D
The Park and Ride is pretty good in York, arguably cheaper than parking in the centre if only a couple of you going :y

Sick looking at sons filthy Civic outside the house. He doesnt see the point of having a clean car so doesnt wash it.
I washed it today and it came up lovely. Very shiny black.
I then tidied out and vacuumed the interior as I was fed up wiping my feet when I got out of it.
Was he full of thanks ? was he f............... ::)
Wanna do mine?

A few hundred miles. Effortless and comfortable, much like the Omega.  And it returned over 41mpg, calculated manually, although the FC only claimed 43mpg...

But I will know how to fix it.....(I already do as it happens) :y
And conveniently, I know where you live for when I break it, which I'm sure I will.

I'll let Mrs DTM to get the choccie biccies in ;D

Soldered the hardwire kit on mine onto the rear 12v socket legs with an inline fuse. Dash cam will then stay on for 10 mins after you turn the ignition off as its on the multitimer switched circuit.

I have an FM-DAB Unit plugged and powered from my rear 12V socket, but it doesn't stay on for 10 mins when I turn ignition off  :-\  I guess it only does that as a feature on the Facelift Omega and obviously not my MFL.

Fuse 17 (Horn) I think is the one I'll pick, ensuring set the ‘auto off’ feature correctly and the ‘parking mode’ and watched the helpful Video  :y
Consumer relay - which provides the 10m power - is a FL feature.

Drove it to Pickering for a short break. These diesel’s are in their element just cruising along motorways. A journey of 230 miles and it cost me peanuts in fuel.  :y
As soon as mine gets beyond around 70mph, it has a drink problem worthy of any AA attendee, and virtually always returns 32mpg (reality, not the trip computer) over an entire tank.  Last tank was 35.9mpg - she'd used it for work and to nip to Oxford, and clearly she is more reformed than me...

I've had 67mpg from her little diesel going to work over a 70 mile run to central Brumingham, but I was keeping it under the instant ban territory...

I set the car alert to 70mph.  :y  It gets angry and keeps flashing a dash warning and makes a bong noise if I go over the set limit. I told you, I'm fully converted now.  ;D
I'm fairly certain my car lacks such features, being old and decrepit like it's owner.  It has a speed limiter, but no alert as such.  Not that I ever exceed the speed limits, you understand, as I've paid my £95 for patronisation.

Her car has the usual road sign recognition with the associated speed limit exceeded alerts, but fortunately old enough to turn that shit off, and it stays off.  Can you imagine the swear box with her potty mouth?

Yeah, just stay out of my way ;D

I think what you've got is hard to beat if you can keep it running cheapy - older Range Rovers don't exactly have the best reputation, not entirely convinced it's deserved though, probably a lot of it is caused by people skimping on maintenance and not keeping on top of things.

Your RRS is a very capable machine, and in my eyes still an attractive and desirable car, offering a decent level of luxury at a very affordable price.  Plus it's current value does of course mean you probably have no qualms with taking it places that you wouldn't want to take something worth £70+k, and towing out those who get stuck in their pretend 4x4s.
