Omega General Help / Re: Wheel alignment/steering geometry
« on: 29 October 2012, 21:52:16 »
thanks tony2. I think that only once have I managed to get it set up with the steering wheel level and no urge to go left in the 13 years we have owned it. No funny tyre wear, apart from when the wishbones were goosed. Sad thing is I can't remember where I got it done that time.

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: headlamp bulbs....
« on: 22 October 2012, 00:16:08 »For the past few years I have run with 100w on main beam, with standard 55w on dipped. Just uprated the fuses for the main. Most Vauxhalls have seperate fuses for dip and main for each headlight. (ie 4 seperate fuses for haedlights). As a general rule of thumb twice the watts equals twice the amps.found this
The conversion of Watts to Amps at fixed voltage is governed by the equation Amps = Watts/Volts
That'll be your basic Ohm's Law at work.
about 40yrs ago, I was learning about that. Now it will be 'if you and Zenab held etc

« on: 20 October 2012, 10:50:09 »Find a old metal backbox that sits in your wall behind the 13 amp sockets in your house.thanks. I love those that improvise
With a pair of pliers, knock out a couple of the 20mm round knock out holes that you remove too insert the wires.
Punch threw a hole threw the disc with a hammer and flat blade screwdriver (the slot needs to be about 5 or 6mm in length and no more then 2mm in width).
As if by magic, you now have a homemade repair washer
Now the fun bit
Hope this helps

Rusted/ rotten. The springs / clips that hold the shoes in place have nothing to hang on to.

Omega General Help / a couple of questions
« on: 19 October 2012, 21:46:52 »
Handbrake backplates, about how much and are they vx only?
One front wheel appears to be further back than the other. The wishbones were done a couple of years back (about 3000m ago). It feels like its crabbing slightly and does pull left. Is it likely that something to do with the bones has moved?
thanks
