Omega General Help / Re: ATP

« on: Yesterday at 13:24:53 »

Thank you all for ur input. I’ll give it a go trying to get the photos up. My colleagues don’t think it’s bad at all. But I don’t like it lol

CiH… yes mate I’m still to remove the cluster. Only reason I haven’t was I found this rust 🤦‍♂️

There may be an incoming PM soon 🤣😎

Thanks guys.

Thanks guys.

Cheers J dog. I’ll check those out! 🥰🥰🥰

Is the chassis rail / leg fairly thick? I’m hoping it’s just unpretty surface rust. I’m hopeful bearing in mind I couldn’t smash any holes.

Is there a way to put photos on here?

Thanks for input boys.

Got rare day off today so got the osf wishbone and drop link done.

2 things noted…
The strut body on os is quite a lot crustier than when I last looked so they’re defo gonna need doing.

More worryingly the os chassis rail starting to look rough as fuk. I’ll have to recheck but don’t remember the ns looking anywhere near that bad.

I smashed hammer in to it and couldn’t get a hole. But doesn’t look good. Any idea how thick rail is? (from where subframe bolts all way back to the start of the floor pan). I’d put photos up but I’ve no idea how to do that following loss of photo bucket 🪣

I’ve had enough for today but I’m gonna get the dremel out and see what it looks like after a clean up.

Assuming I don’t find any holes have u got any recommendations on rust converter? I used kurust before but apart from it going a little blue it didn’t really do fek all 🤷‍♂️

Good evening men, hope you’re all well.

Sprucing up a load of things on the omega. I’m currently fitting the atp 6 piece wishbone kit. I know they get mixed reviews but I’ve used them and personally never had a problem.

Anyhoo, I came across a load of other parts they sell… front shockers and springs in particular.

Anyone ever fitted them and got some feedback on their performance? Mine are, I believe, still the originals on the front.

TIA

Omega General Help / Re: Pulling when braking

« on: 04 October 2025, 12:41:52 »

Slightly off topic but I did my lower arms this morning.

Biggest help was buzzing the track rod loose. Much easier to pull knuckle/hub forward out the way so can put the arm in level.

Just thought I’d pass that on 🥰

It’s cool DG cos I’ve already done the filter conversion.

Was just curious about any issues anyone ever experienced.

I don’t need to do this job. I’m just bi-curious 🥰

Ps.. though I’ve never had to do this job I often look at those two unions above the oil filter and they just don’t look like they’d come out 🤣🤣

Anyone ever had issues with them? I suppose absolute worst case scenario you’d end up chopping the pipe above the nut and getting a 6 sided socket on it. Just wondering if anyone ever had issue?

A dowty washer is a dowty washer surely 

Find a decent plumbing supplier and take an old one along with you

Fair comment.

I’d always like the correct Vauxhall part in these circs.

But as mentioned might not be available so may have to do that.

What are OOF members doing about replacement washers for all the pipes going to and around the cooler?
I’m guessing they’re discontinued at Peugeot, I mean Vauxhall?
