Anyone know how much for people (who aren’t entering a car to the show) to go and look round. Mum and dad want to go.

Thank u as ever for all the helpful info. I’ve fitted new pressure switch. So far “touch wood” it’s stayed out. One will keep an eye out 🥰
Thanks again guys 🥰🥰🥰

Haha thanks nick. And yes… intermotor part 🤦♂️🤣
And yes I’ve often wondered about front seal. Mainly wondering how to bust that crank sprocket loose… I’m guessing my impact won’t touch it. On a manual I’d consider wedging something in the flywheel but I’m guessing flex plate not as tough as that 🤷♂️

Boys you’ve confirmed exactly what I thought and many thanks for the speedy response!
Cars on 136k miles. I’ve done regular oil changes and have always used 10/40 semi 😃
I’ll do an oil change and new pressure sensor and take it from there. I know exactly when the car will do it so it’ll be easy to test.
Thanks for info on pan removal. Though I’m now looking forward to trying to remove pan after 24 years of being baked on 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thanks men, you really are the best!!!! 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Hi guys. Hope ur all well.
When omegas been run for a while and cars been running a while I get a flickering oil pressure light. I’ve bought a new switch as my first port of call. However if this isn’t the problem and it really is a pressure problem it looks like I’ll be checking the strainer. Do you know if I can get access with just the oil pan removed.
Also I haven’t been under the omega for a while as I’m not using it as my daily anymore… is the pan just a load of 10 mils? Or is it more complicated 🤦♂️
Cheers men 👍👍👍

I went 2 years ago and inadvertently ended up with the omega being in the show 🤣
Just to clarify that… the main concourse is cars from ‘69 (I think) to 1999. So my 2000 omega sadly doesn’t qualify for this. The concourse is in the courtyard and there are some serious contenders. Every other car is on the big lawn and is still the show cars… just not judged.
There was one other omega and I parked near it. (Green 2.2 from memory)
I only stumbled across this show by accident but it was so good it’s my main show to go to. Especially with how bad Vaux fest was the last time I went.
Oh and it’s £35 per car I believe 😃
