General Car Chat / Re: V6 water pump price

« on: 18 August 2014, 16:41:37 »

I had a Circoli put in when I had the cambelt service done 3 odd years ago, still fine and currently £26.80 with delivery at ECP which is cheaper than I paid back in 2011.

I can see how you can get fined for non SORN but cannot see how they can 'trespass' on your private land to clamp it and remove it. what if it was on your driveway?

Watched on the TV never been, Metallica, Dolly and the Kasier Chiefs great, also a big fan of the Manics though they did not get much air time this year. Already strong rumours that AC/DC have been blagged for next year.

Mine was primmed though they fitted it, got another quote but that was over £500.00. Paint spraying isn't cheap, can't you get a used one already in the correct colour?

Had a small body shop do a brand new bumper for me a couple of years back when someone kindly hit it, luckily no other damage, think I paid £300 inc the parking sensors, the paint matched perfect as well though mine is Moonland a grey colour. Still looks good now.

He paid £3500 for it..  still a market for omegas then...

Cannot believe anybody would pay £3500 trade for an Omega let alone £5k retail.

General Car Chat / Re: 2003 Corsa clutch judder.

« on: 04 June 2014, 10:59:47 »

Wow2 hours I got relieved of £550 for that job from an indy Vauxhall main dealer wanted the best part of £800 What annoyed me the most is that Vauxhall knew of this issue for years and did nothing, you can see the new seal is a lot better than the original, though still a rubbish design all round. Looking to replace next year with a Corsa D or the Fiesta, I know for sure that the Corsa D does not have the issue as it is a different design.

The clutches I am pretty certain are the same in all 1.2 corsa c's regardless of the engines, as is the judder. Like I said if it disappears after a mile or so then leave it until the clutch is spent.

One good thing is the clutch is cheaper than the dreaded wet carpets from the brake servo seal, thats an all day job and dash out to do which even Vauxhall dealers don't want to quote for.

I have a Corsa 1.2 Twinport, had same issue clutch judder when cold, common fault and a new clutch will not fix the problem, just had mine replaced by my brother in law, its a pig of a job sub frame has to be come out, some Vauxhall dealers do a deal £500 all in. Mine was replaced because it had worn out, it had 66k miles on it mainly from previous owners.

As long as the judder disappears after a mile or two then thats fine, its caused by condensation on the plates. If you buy the clutch kit make sure its the 3 part and not the cheaper two part with out the bearing, or you will be doing it all over again.

Omega General Help / Re: Coolant Level Sensor

« on: 14 May 2014, 16:09:03 »

Mine went wrong last week, the plastic stop on the float shaft parted company with the shaft so float was floating around in the expansion tank, no way to fix so replaced with a new tank. Think I paid £31.00 for a new tank which included delivery and it took me about 20 mins to replace.

Exact same issue I had a few weeks back, crank sensor, replaced and runs perfect. No codes either when checked.

Pedal trick it to confirm (0335), but sounds like crank sensor.

My first one failed at about 130 (kph, obviously...) just outside Dijon. Most inconvenient

Mine was at around 50mph and that was bad enough 80mph a different story. If I had thought about this a bit more would have replaced as preventative maintainance like the cambelt.

Omega General Help / Scary episode

« on: 26 April 2014, 11:16:56 »

Well the car has been faultless for my ownership but just now was driving along and then engine cut out, luckily managed to coast into a layby, car would crank but not fire. left it for 5 mins cranked it and it started fine, then did the same again 10 mins later by which time I was nearly at my destination. Left it a couple of minutes and it restarted as before. Not a nice experience, has anybody else had this occur. Any advise appreciated as always.
