Omega General Help / HT Leads
« on: 05 June 2010, 23:30:45 »
Hello everyone,

sorry i havent posted for a while been very busy with work...

I have a problem with the miggy, one of the ht leads has broken, and i am more than 300 miles from home on our hols. Are the HT Leads easy to change on a N plate 3.0 Elite???

I have no tools and not alot of spare money to take it to a garage, hopefully i should be able to do this but don't really know where to start.

Thanks in advance

Omega General Help / Re: Diesel OIL in a v6 petrol

Oil companies spend millions of pounds every year designing various grades of oil for various engines.
Diesel oil is designed for diesel engines, and the same goes for petrol.

Yes you can use oil designed for diesel engines in your petrol lump if you so desire, but don't be surprised when you get shafted with a big repair bill after a very short period of time.


i'll stick to the petrol stuff then, haven't got the money for a big repair bill.

Thanks very much

Forgot to mention this is the oil:

Castrol GTX Diesel 10W-40 B3

Castrol GTX Diesel is designed for today’s diesel car engines. It’s more than just oil. It’s Liquid Engineering that fights diesel engine problems that your engine faces every day, like soot and harsh deposits.Why is this important? Because soot and harsh deposits can make the oil thicker, blocking oil ways, causing wear and decreasing performance.

Castrol GTX Diesel provides superior engine protection

    * Superior cleaning power to maintain engine performance

    * Reduces the build up of harsh deposits

    * Helps prevent oil from thickening and keeps it flowing freely

    * Outstanding diesel engine wear protection

    * Suitable for Inter-cooled and Turbo-charged diesel engines.

Have you taken the top cover off and taken out the torx bolt?
you can use an 8mm nut to get the 4 torx bolts off the front of the pleunum, if you cant get to them loosen the pleunum and lift it, they are not very tight.

Thanks for the reply, i have done the torx bolt on the top, will try the plenum.

Omega General Help / Breather Cleaning?
« on: 08 September 2009, 15:28:34 »
Hi,
i have tried to clean my breathers as the guide said but i cannot get the throttle bodies off the plenum.
 
Is it possible to clean it in situ, with the engine running? or has it got to be taken apart?

sorry forgot too mention i am only cleaning the plastic bit on top.

Many thanks

try dissconnecting battery and reconnect again after a few secs and see if it will manuallly unlock,mine did this a few years ago,mine locked me out and sun roof opened,could not open doors with key as it was dead locked,when connected battery it let me open dorrs again with no dead lock on must have reset doors,but don't forget to reset windows and roof  :y

Tried this and still no joy :'( :'( :'(

Also volt checked the battery and it only has 12.4V. i think i remember that anything less than 12.6V meant a flat battery. i looked at the sight glass thing on top and it is black. could this be part of the problem.

might sound strange this but is the speaker working on the offending door ?.

from what you say ........ door is  dead locked / windows inop. ( both these are on totally differant electric circuits ) 

all the above go though a multi pin plug that conects the electrics to the door loom.

pull up the carpet / remove the plastic trim around the "b" pillar. ( thats the one with the front seatbelt in ) and see if you can find the loom that goes through to the door and trace it back through the car  :y

it sounds to me that its a electrical problem and all the elecrics for that door goes through that loom / plug  :y

if everything failed at one then it has to be a place where all the circuits meet  :y
:y :y :y :y cheers will do a bit of investigation and report back
