Sorry all the garage said was, when under the car ,on the nr side looking up was a pipe that looked plastic going into a rubber pipe . What the boys said was let it develop?
I am sure the fault will get worse, then I might have the answer. just thought some one here had a similar problem.

a plastic into a rubber hose? yep they have not got a clue an I have not also.
It loses a lt every 1000 to 15000 miles not much but I like thing to be right.

Omega General Help / Re: New noise
« on: 12 September 2014, 14:30:04 »
Have had a similar noise sound on mine, It was like a loose golf ball rolling around it was not there all the time, in fact I took the mechanic up the road with me to prove the noise was there. not always but every so often there was this dull knock.
I had replaced every thing, even had top suspension strut bearing replaced thought it sounded if coming from there, guess what not even that worked.
Went back to garage, they put car on ramps, we went underneath again and shook, banged and pushed every thing found nothing new.
Mechanic then said your Steering tie rod ends feel a bit stiff, let spray some Wd40 on the two end joints, we had nothing to lose,
Now more noise knock completely gone? it could be worth a spray !!!!!,but what do i know,best of luck.

General Car Chat / Mk 2 Focus
« on: 27 August 2014, 10:27:32 »
Hi any one had trouble with the bonnet lock on a Ford Focus.
The key will just and I mean just unlock the bonnet to open it.
I have check the focus forum and they only talk about, if the bonnet won’t open full stop.
My question is I have bought the plastic clips they say is the fault and just wondered this,
If I can get the bonnet up with out damaging any thing should I replace the lot or try to replace the plastic clip.
I don’t want to take the lock apart and then find i can’t shut the bonnet.
Or would you suggest taking it to a Garage and let them worry about it.
Rockabilly

I have had the car 6 1/2 years and guess what i cant remember if the warning light ever came on, in the passed it was not a problem but I have made my mind up that i will try and fix every little job on the car if it dont cost a arm and leg to fix. If there was a alarm sounding at the same time no it could not have worked ?. Wont bother you all with the Phantom sun roof but yes I have that to do has well.but I know you have that covered here on the forum

General Car Chat / cambelt
« on: 20 June 2014, 21:45:59 »
Well 1st cambelt changed at 60.000 miles some  5 years ago. Checked your forum for cambelt intervals and noticed your thoughts were every 40,000 miles to a change.
With my clock reading 110500 I dashed to my local garage for them to check.
mechanic rubbed his chin and said no at lest 60000.so of he the went to his computer to checked the interval.
My god you boys are right he said, every 40,000 miles that surprised me
Car now back new belt, tensioners and water pump, plus a alternator belt for good measure.

Thank you all I think I was a little lucky

Omega General Help / Re: Key

Thanks Ron ye will try to take the unit apart.
It all started when switching of the engine only to find the key in the barrel and me with the rest in my hand
I know to some, glue sounded stupid but the clips on the horseshoe had broke so fitting the new unit back to the key, it would not hold or stay locked,no matter how many new cases i brought,hence 1 small drop of the super.

Sorry miss led you, the key parted and the chip was found, I replaced the chip pushed the key back together with the button and battery part, and went on our way.
But to stop it coming apart again I super glued the two half together ,every thing worked fine until last month ,when one micro switch rubbers started to play up. Now I cant part the two sections, to replace the case.

Omega General Help / Key
« on: 08 April 2014, 17:54:48 »
Advise please,
Last year on holiday key parted and micro chip fell out ,chip found, key put back together and we went on our way.
At home great idea I thought, replace the battery and add a spot of super glue to stop key from parting.
Not a good idea a button has failed and now I cant part the key ,yes you guessed it because of the super glue.
Phone Vauxhall for price of new key ,and have been told £150.00 for new one.
All I want to do is lock the car ,so could I disconnect the alarm, from under the rain scuttle and just use the key to lock and unlock the car, or will I have other problems.
Your thoughts would be very great full.

Car now fixed.
Fault was as you all said, front sensor.
Garage mecanic picked the car up,and 20 min  later vehicle retutned all fixed.
Jammie said no charge ,When asked why no charge, he said your infoe was spot on  so he pushed the sensor back on then added a couple of cabletie`s for good measure.
I gave him a tenner, and said thank you.

To you all Thank You

These Omega all ways seem to amaze me.
