Omega General Help / Re: Leather seat treatment.
« on: 22 September 2007, 21:49:34 »
ok guys here it is..............every week vac the seats to get the dirt out the pores,then wipe with a damp cloth which has a mild pure soap,no dtergents like washing up liquid as this destroys the sealant layer and then goes onto to destroy the pigment/paint layer.
about 2 months again give a good clean a soft nail brush is recomended this time to get ingrained dirt out.then treat with a leather cream,this is important as this will put back into the leather important moisture/oil and should leave a protective wax layer.
things you all should be aware of are the things which is gonna destroy your leather surface,
kids.......self explanatary
heat....drys outthe leather and it starts to crack
detergents....breaks down protective layer
sweat/hand grease........ does the same as detergents......and ten fold if u are on heart tablets
dog sweat.anoither killer.
oh pleasee do not use products meant for saddles,saw a womans leather sofa destroyed by a saddle soap product
hope this is of help

temp gauge looked ok,prob is when it happened a kind mate bougth some tools out to me i cut the hose and got it back on, filled it with water and it just kept filling,turned it over and it just came out of a lot of joints in the exhaust. had car towed to a garage ,he seemed to think the heads were knackerd and poss something lower down in the engine.
he quoted £1200 for just the heads and more if he finds something else.
i now have it at home and the battery is on charge at the moment hence my prob of getting in the car,
when battery is all charged up i am gonna try to start it and see.boy are my fingers ,toes,arms and legs crossed to see if it does.
dont have this kind of money so i am gonna attempt to fix it .
kinda come round to the fact it may need two new heads.
dam its a great car as well

ok for a while i have been topping up the water on a regular basis,stupid me never thought to check the hoses.thought maybe was h/g leak.till i came on here.
anyway was going down the motoway at 90....whoops i mean 70 and my coolent mess came up on the comp
sat there thinking well i have just filled it up it cant have gone that quick.........maybe a mile passes or 2
thinking i better stop at next services to add some
next thing i know sounded like the tappets wanted out of the engine and then lost all power.
well stopped and opened bonnet to find just a mass of blue smoke coming from the rocker covers, turns out the front top hose from the rad to the block had burst right where it joins to block.
question is what can i expect to find as i strip it
