Omega General Help / Re: Lowering car with air suspension

« on: 28 May 2009, 09:42:21 »

Can you not use firmer springs instead of lowering it? Think I remember reading that patrol cars weren’t lowered but had firmer springs, hence better road holding. At least then you can keep the air suspension but have better handling on the road. IMHO think the Omegas low as it is in standard form.

Guys
Have a 2.2i petrol estate, 2001 x plate, it is going to need a rear box and centre box very soon, were is the best place to get one from at a reasonable price.

Original VX/opel exhausts are really good quality and have long life..

Used to be good quality, I think the new batch of exhausts are of the cheap type and hence not worth the money anymore.

I hope theres no problems, I've just ordered an exhaust for my 3.0 facelift.

I think the mid sections are ok but the rear silencer has to be longer to reach the end of the bumper on facelift models. Which is not a problem for me since I'm getting chrome tips placed on the ends of the tail pipe.

There's a place that does free-flow exhausts near where I stay. Was quoted £400 for a full system, said he might do it a bit cheaper.

But I think I'll go for the Eternal one for the price and what I've read about them can't go wrong, at least the middle sections look like the original clam style.

Yeah I was tempted, but something tells me they would want a deposit, besides I was also told that the walker system had chrome tips as well, unsure what one to go with

Omega General Help / Bosal exhaust question

« on: 18 May 2009, 13:48:54 »

Ok, I've read the various comments about exhausts and stuff, but has anyone bought a Bosal back box part number 185-215, can anyone tell me if they have chrome tips on it, parts guy told me there are two types of bosal parts, cheap and standard, he says standard (185-215) has chrome tips. Is this right?

OK done the paperclip, got back 19 - Incorrect RPM Signal.

is that just cos the engine wasn't on or was that the fault when it was cutting out ?

Omega General Help / Re: windscreen replacement

« on: 01 May 2009, 13:36:51 »

Don't go near national windscreens either, fitted my windscreen incorrectly and only used stanley knives to get it out, they cut up all my roof card and windscreen inside side trims. Got it refitted, but they denied it was them that cut up the roof card and trim. never ever again.

Lemforder, think they made the OE ones, around £50 each from Eurocar parts, think Autovaux can supply the same ones for slightly less.

Who made the OE exhausts fitted at the factory?

Omega General Help / Re: Core plug replacement

« on: 29 March 2009, 00:14:53 »

thats what I thought, great minds think alike  

Bugger is I've just spent the best part of my weekend replacing my HG and my super dupa coolant dye showed up some residue from the core plug, I guess it would have saved me the hassle   £119 for bits or £1 for a core plug  

Thanks for the info

« on: 28 March 2009, 23:51:05 »

Is there a way of replacing the core plugs on the head? I took my rear cam cover off looking for a leak and seen there was some coolant residue coming from one of the two plugs that are near where the timing belt tensioners are attached. Can these be replaced or do I need to remove the head and get an engineering company to replace them?

When I've replaced core plugs, I've cleaned up where the core plug seats, and knocked 'em in with the biggest socket I can it in.

how did you remove them?
