In mine (a ’98 estate) the unit was moved to the centre of the spare wheel and the cables ran under the back seat. Very clean and practical.

Again, passenger seat fine, driver's seat touch and go.
Sitting still it works fine, leaning forward it cuts out (switch light goes out) and this will repeat a few times before the fuse blows. I assume that there is a break in the bottom pad - could it be repaired, joined or bypassed ?
BTW sitting still is not an option.

Omega General Help / Re: Sub framme bushes alignment
« on: 28 August 2011, 20:37:39 »
Thanks for reply though I’ve done it the other way now. 
My reasoning - if the sub frames arms were independent they would hinge in line with the arms but as they are linked, I assumed they would have to hinge in line with the car. :-/

Omega General Help / Sub framme bushes alignment
« on: 28 August 2011, 12:49:53 »
When the maintenance guide talks of the solid part of the bush to the sides and slots to front and back – is this aligned/square to the car or the sub-frame arm (45 degrees to the car)?
The front of the bushes I’ve just removed pointed along the sub frame and so where at 45 degrees to the wheels.
Thanks

Just for reference; I replaced my original back box with one from Eternalcar nearly three and a half years ago and it still appears fine. Yesterday I ordered a complete system (cats back) as my original centre sections have about had it. I expect to fit them next weekend and so will get a look inside the old back box then, but I don’t foresee any problems preventing it from having lasted at least four years, hence my decision to return to Eternalcar (coupled with the age of my car of cause 
).

Omega General Help / Re: Fitting new wishbones
« on: 23 May 2010, 08:45:36 »
A lump of wood on the edge of the wishbone and a hammer did it for me. Had tried the car jack between wishbone and drop-link bracket on strut before that, but no joy.

Omega General Help / Air Con Compressor
« on: 14 May 2010, 07:50:41 »
Have had an air con leek traced to the compressor, which also gets hot and noisy – it’s been turning when it should have disengaged, i.e. no pressure.
Anyone have any experience in changing a compressor they can pass on and is it a job for one person with the car on axle stands?
Thanks
