Omega General Help / Re: Replacement rear coil springs
« on: 14 February 2009, 10:57:34 »
Hi, tomoco, funnily enough Ive just had to replace mine, same car as yours. Found a local chap in Leicester called Kams Autos, telephone 07920 130700. He changed my rear springs (dont know what brand) & put a new rocker cover gasket on yesterday for £250. He really knows a lot about Omegas.

Omega General Help / Re: Headlight removal-Facelift
« on: 22 January 2009, 18:07:56 »
As I mentioned in my post, I have read this. The headlight moves forward about an inch but seems to be held by something near the front wings.

Omega General Help / Headlight removal-Facelift
« on: 22 January 2009, 17:41:59 »
I wish to renew my front sidelight bulbs for LED ones, but I cannot find the "hidden" 8mm screw under the headlight as mentioned in the Maintenance guides section. Having undone the 2 x 8mm screws on top of the headlight, it moves forward about an inch, but seems to be held by something on the wing. Any solutions, please.

Omega General Help / Re: CURE FOR MAYO IN OIL FILLER PIPE v6 OMEGA.
« on: 19 November 2008, 16:45:57 »
I noticed I had mayo in my oil filler cap on my recently purchased Omega, service record showed it had been filled with Castrol GTX. So I went to my local National Tyres & Autocare & had an oil, filter & flush for £31.50 using Castrol Magnatec 10W40. No more mayo now!

Omega General Help / Re: Quick MoT question - handbrake
« on: 31 October 2008, 18:30:04 »Quote
QuoteQuoteQuoteOn the question of handbrakes, when I pull mine on when travelling very slowly (10 mph) I get an almighty "crack" sound on the nearside rear wheel. A local Vauxhall specialist said it was a characteristic of the car. What say you?
Apply the handbrake lightly for a100 meters or so a few times.....
What happens is that due to the handbrake shoes never stopping a rolling car, the drum faces get a light covering of corrosion adn this results in snatching.
By doing the above a few times (it actualy says to do this in the handbook once a month or so), it stops this happening and keeps everything working nicely
Many thanks for that Mark. Top Info. BTW I have been trying to contact you for sometime for a Tech 2 checkover.

Yes, trying to firm up a day for you....
