General Car Chat / Re: I need an OMEGA mechanic

« on: 01 October 2011, 22:18:23 »

Hi All. I have checked the exhaust and the heat shield, nothing. I have been told it may be the shock absorber and that they are air as I have zenon headlights? I am going to search for either a used part or a none vauxhall make. Any idea's. I have to say that I respect you all for offering me your advice, and thanks

It is from the back. I have had the drop links replaced quite recently. I do know its the rear and its the nearside. I do think it is something like the drop link sound, just from the back and a little more like a dull thud. It's as though there may have been a bush in something but the bush has become baggy, not a metal sound, more like the boot lid closing from being only a little open. Got to work now so I will pick up in the morning. Thanks for your help so far I am realy impressed.

I have to say No. My problem is that when I bounce the back end it seams fine, a little creak is all I hear. When I travel on a fairly flat surface (very difficult in sheffield) everything seams fine and its very smooth. Its as though the little bumps make the most noise. I dont have to go over a pothole to make the noise. I don't profess to know what I am taalking about. I just love my Omega and want to do the best I can without getting ripped off. I don't mind paying if I know the job is being done right. I con man could tell me anything. I'm not mechanicaly useless, just not up to date and dont have the resource anymore.

Hi All
I live in the Sheffield area and am looking for a decent mechanic to keep my 2.5 V6 on the road for a little longer. I think my rear shocker may have gone as when I go over little bumps it sounds like my boot is shutting, but its not. I have taken it to 2 , but both say theres nothing wrong grrrrrrr. Anyone got any recomendations. Thanks Kev

Hi At 48 years young I don't often get called a newbie, but I am. I have a 2.5 V6 Elite and love it to bits. Its a V reg and has 117 on the clock. Glad to know there are real enthusiasts to talk to. Don't as yet know all the gargen, but will try. Merry Xmas and a happy new year to all. I live in Sheffield and am going to pop down to Brighton very soon. Do we really know the Omega as a "Miggy"
