Thanks TheBoy and Seth,
Ok great so would the BMW dealer be the best bet then? Anyone know roughly how much they might be? Its a bit tricky finding it on the internet at the moment.

Not exessively the plastic bits were weakened anyway and I knew I would have to replace it at some point and now is the time

I can imagine, over time mine have started to weaken and today as I was tightening it up it crack a bit and I think it will be a problem to get off and I will need a new one anyway. Can anyone help? I take it that its not a standard part but specific to the M51 engine so Omegas, BMW and Range rovers?

Omega General Help / TD Oil filter housing cap broken
« on: 20 August 2011, 21:42:31 »
Hi guys,
My plastic cap on the oil filter housing is broken, some of the plastic bits that forms the sides of the hexagon are snapped, why the heck did they make them out of plastic?!?!?!? What were they thinking? Does anyone know if the BMW ones are metal and if so where would I get one or does anyone know the part number of it? Thanks

Hi Guys,
Im going to be moving some concrete slabs some and I was wondering if anyone knew or a figure in a manual of what Vauxhall said was the maximum weight that could be carried on the rear axle? Actual Vauxhall guidelines please if anyone has it.
Thanks in advance

I know its a different engine but my 2.5TD auto can be persuaded to spin round but its much easier when the tarmac is damp or wet. I think it has the same bhp as the 2.0 but more torque

Omega General Help / Re: Proper air con service.
« on: 04 August 2011, 14:03:36 »
Hey Opti,
I also like to measure the temperature of the air coming out of the vents but I have an electronic temperature probe to measure it, accurate to 0.1 of a degree for both Celsius and Fahrenheit. Currently after 5 minutes with the A/C being on at the centre vents I get, 6.5 degrees C on level 9 air flow force, 5.5 degrees C on level 5 and 4.5 degrees C on level 1. It gets colder the longer I leave it on but by very small amounts. E..g last summer I left the car idling with it on which doing some engine work for 30 minutes and recorded -0.4 degrees C at the centre vents. I would say yours is doing very well but get an electronic probe to measure it and then we can be geeky together

Yep I will continue to monitor the temperature to make sure it is working ok, at full blast it seems to do about 5 degrees Celsius when the outside temperature is around 20. I don't suppose anybody else is "cool" enough to accurately measure the temperature at their vents? see what I did there
see what I did there

Omega General Help / Air Regas results
« on: 17 July 2011, 10:46:51 »
Hi guys,
I had the air con regased and know it is working perfectly again. I measured the air temperature at the vents with my very accurate temperature probe and it measured 5.4 degrees Celsius on fan level 5 after 10 minutes so I will continue to monitor it. The coldest I ever had it was on level 1 for 30 minutes it managed to get to -0.4 degrees Celcius so I will see how I get on a longer journey tomorrow

Hi guys,
I am having the air con regassed tomorrow but I wanted to make sure there was no fuse that could have blown or anything crazy simple and annoying like that before I do it? Is there anything like that e.g. a fuse in the fuse box under the steering wheel? Thanks in advance
