Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: Day time running Lights

« on: 14 March 2011, 01:03:59 »

if you want them running why not just install a relay to the ignition live and run it to these led lamps wouldnt that just be so much simpler???

and by that i mean aftermarket relay the wiring to do this is rather simple and you can even buy the relays all fully wired up too

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / sound probs

« on: 31 January 2011, 23:29:59 »

ok i am sure i have seen something like this b4 on ere but cant find it for the life of me trying to figure out why my rear speakers seem to be so much quieter than the front only recently noticed this and it wasn't like this when i fitted my aftermarket stereo i am sure dont know if it is bose or not but the original headunit is a ccr2006 and used to say bose sound when turned please help is it fixable or should i just fit a new amp for the rear speakers the head unit is more than capable with having that many different outputs lol

left foot braking in an auto?? whabang!! thru the windscreen while the car behind you plows up yer bum..

 ......

Not when you're as good as me!  I do both in the Omega, however I always left foot brake in her Smart Roadster as I find it easier than moving my right foot ..... not much room in the foot well for size 10 boots.  And I have a manual Astra to keep me on my toes.    

left footed braking is always good and it can also scare the shit out of the prats that sit on your bumper hahaha

Apparently so .......   

its all good fun lol cos then i normally show them what a real car can do compared to a little cracker jack toy can and get this a guy at work reckons his 1.4 corsa could beat an omega

Omega General Help / Re: Engine fail ??? please advise

« on: 14 March 2011, 20:17:55 »

Personally I would say changing an engine is a piece of cake...

i agree i started striping my old engine and got fed up with it found that it was far easier just changing the engine and that way you dont have to get replacement gaskets and valves etc

my first two points to check would be belt and starter itself and find out if thats engaging and i know from replacing my enine found out that the crank sensor was faulty and the car wouldnt engage starter or create a spark hope this helps

Faulty crank sensor won't stop engine turning over  only stops it starting.

well i dont know then lol must have had another problem lol not the first time it has cured itself lol last time it was with the maf sensor decided not to work for a week then was fine again 

?? What?  :-/ :-/ :-/ :-/ :-/

As I said a breaked crank sensor will not stop engine turning over, or starter engaging, it only stops it firing (starting) 

lol - laugh out loud

Its often case now where many people can't type three words without typing lol as well 

Should point out that text speak is against forum rules!

oops now i know just so used to using it can you tell i text a lot

Hi the cost of this project is not to bad the biggest costs will be engine 2.5/3.0 gaskits and cam kit 2.5 with 3ltr cams ?

The rebuild and engine swap will be £100 ( mates rates )

Its the other potential damage to pistons rods and crank shaft and barings that lean me towards engine replacement with full rebuild ( oil cooler does this need replacing as well ? as were there !)

I had considered going to 3ltr but was not sure how much extra work and parts would need to be changed
2 questions Mutant Cav
1 how much
2 is the engine in or out ?
Thanks
Chris

go for the engine swap its easier and sometimes an engine with less miles on it too
