Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Insrument panel illumination
« on: 29 May 2009, 23:38:00 »
Anyone know how many bulbs illuminate the speedo and rev counter? I've replaced the one on the left and on the right but it still seems a bit dim in the middle.

I would send your key to Martin Imber before you go spending big bucks on new keys etc. He recently refurbished my dead key - now works perfectly without the need for tech 2 and his charges are very reasonable.

:)Hello everybody,
Stumbled on this site by accident the other day after my car coughed and refused to run on tickover. Called out the RAC who diagnosed leaking exhaust manifold. He explained this by telling me that the exhaust pipe wasn't getting enough gas on tickover but once it was revved to about 1200rpm it was happy. To prove is theory he sprayed the top of the manifold sheild with duck oil which immediately started to burn off thereby proving his theory!. Armed with this mis - information I phoned the mechanic who looks after the car for me. After he picked himself up off the floor after falling off his greasy chair laughing, he told me to bring it down first thing and he will look at it. Took it down first thing, he opened the bonnet, reconnected a pipe under the thottle housing, shut bonnet all in 20 seconds! and that included a few choice remarks about the rac. The upshot is the car is now running sweet as a nut again and it hasn't cost me a penny.

I think the fact that your collegue made a hasty retreat indicates that he probably will not want to get involved. Your supervisor will only get worse now he has got away with this tirade of abuse against you. Lodge a grievance without delay and document everything. In the meantime get yourself a little pocket note book and log times and dates of any further instances, this can be used as evidence at your hearing. If you are not a member of a union i would suggest you phone ACAS for advice.
