Omega General Help / Re: XENON Drivers light

« on: 10 December 2015, 21:12:30 »

You have a broken adjuster.
There is a guide, but I believe you won't be able to but the parts mentioned.

I think I see that in the guide but I weren't sure if it was for normal lights

« on: 10 December 2015, 20:54:25 »

Hello again all, sorry for all the questions tonight, I popped to mcdees with the miss but noticed the drivers side light had like a shadow blocking the brightness of the XENON when looked at it the beam on the light unit it seems to have dropped and was pointing down the silver bit on the eye light bit it seems like it needs to go up but the lights have not got a light level switch in the car, any suggestions thanks again everyone

Omega General Help / Re: Gunk on the oil cap.

« on: 10 December 2015, 19:28:10 »

Mayo on filler cap is a sign of short journeys, or castrol oil. Change the oil n filter, use a decent oil (gm) and give it a good run. This is assuming, no sludge in header, if so then oil cooler time.

Cool thank you just checked coolant and it's just got antifreeze colour in its nice and pink, I'm hoping to get cam gaskets done this weekend or at some time then she will get an oil service and gearbox and air filter ect was just checking before I spend money on it really ;-) but thanks all for your comments makes me fill much better now

It's usually because short(ish) trips specially in colder season. I had it on my mv6 turing fall/winter/spring when my worktrip was about 3 miles. All clear in summertime.

Sweet thank you, it's also in the oil flum bit as well but will take off at weekend and clean it, but at least that puts my mind at rest plus just spend 80 something on the cam cover gasket kit from vx am going to ring serek up tomoz to see when can squeeze her in

What happens when crank sensors packup  Do they just not want to start when engine gets warm or is it a complete breakdown job 

That can run then cut out then just not start. Quite popular on the v6 I think. My 2.2 dti I lost my Rev guague then it just stalls then not start again, some one with more experience would put it right if I'm wrong
