That lasted a year (which was longer than our marriage had in it
) which with her driving made it a high quality repair.Could be an alternative to glue.

When my ex wife ripped the undertray off her car, I remade some tabs by shaping some thin steel into the right shape, heating it with a blow torch then melting it into the plastic. I did similar with Penny washers to reinforce where bolt holes had been ripped open.

Popped the OS bank of plugs out as they're the easiest, a teeny splash of oil in the bores, and tried cranking the engine round a few times, delighted to report that the engine seems to go round with no issues whatsoever.
I've redone the timing again this evening, it seems to have slipped a smidge advanced on the 3-4 cams. Doesn't hurt to completely start from scratch and to be fair it's quite enjoyable and doing it again helps me better understand the principle/logic behind the eccentric pulleys so it's no bad thing. So I'll report back tomorrow evening if I get chance to recheck my work. |

Looking at my new to me Mondeo grill earlier, I realised that the monkey that removed it from the donor car simply cut through the plastic tabs that secure the grill along the bottom.
  I'll try to secure it with some self tappers, but if that's not possible I thought I'd glue it in place. Any recommendations for a suitable adhesive that will withstand heat, cold, wet and vibrations?  Sticks Like Shit sounds good! |

If the Vectra DIS pack is mounted in the same place as the Omega one then yes they should be a direct fit. It is. It makes sense to have it at the back of the engine above the gearbox on a FWD installation, and much less sense for RWD like an Omega. But moving it would have meant different leads and mountings. So yes, Vectra plug leads are identical to Omega ones. |
