Hi all, I have been searching with no results...any idea if a 6 speed conversion with a box fron a 525/530d bimmer has been done to an x25dt Omega?
Early M57 are suposed to have same bellhousing bolt pattern as M51 (aka x25dt) and should be a bolt on (quite more less)

If you drift a bit too enthusiastically, you might find that the body shell will part company with the wheels.Best thing you can do is choose a car you like, and buy the nicest one you can find.What if you'd overdosed on Dorset Turnips and liked a Morris Marina, like Sir Tig..... It's surprising that that never happened considering what I put the poor thing through! ![]() |

Might be wrong there. Was it the front that was torsion bar? Yep, front had torsion bars and was spongy as hell with way too much travel. Rear had leaf springs that were rock hard and had very little travel. What could possibly go wrong there? Oh, and the front trunnion joints needed replacing with every MOT, because they were designed for the Morris Minor. |

Went to Tesco's and when I got to the checkout realised I had forgotten to bring a bag, but as I didn't have much I decided I was too tight to pay 40p for a carrier bag.Police are on the lookout for two seagulls with smelly breath 😂 At least I managed to rescue enough for my tea tonight. ![]() |

Ok here we go again. I replaced the fuel pump (new, Delphi branded) and its associated hose and clamps.
After that the car ran exceptionally good with zero issues for a few days, then suddenly all of the previous issues came back. Just out of interest, I tried starting it without the EGR connected and that made no real difference. Except that the spanner indicator light actually did not light up immediately. I connected it back and disconnected the MAF instead and started again. It barely ran at all, with RPMs irregularly fluctuating up and down with no throttle pedal response (and some people say it runs better without MAF?!). I really don't think the new MAF would be non-working but would a Tech2 or similar unit show if any sensor is sending invalid/incorrect signals? Any other ideas? |

I suppose we lust after old cars from our youth because of the fond memories they have given us. In reality most old cars will feel like a bag of shit when compared to modern cars. I always wanted (still want a TR6) but just know it would disappoint if I ever had the chance to try one.
Similar to the gorgeous 18 year old goddess we dated when dinosaurs still roamed the earth. We like to believe she would still be a great shag but these days she has 4 chins, 5 bellies, and tits that almost scrape the carpet. ![]() Never meet your heroes. ![]() |

Whatever, it wasn’t too pleasant. |

Well, I used to borrow my Dad’s Marina, a 1300 2-door (coupé?), maroon, looked like a crap respray. Always narked me that he didn’t get an 1800, with the rev counter!
Anyway, with four in the car it would bounce around corners given the slightest bump. Scary for everyone. Maybe because of the torsion bar rear suspension, or as previously said, 1950s design. No redeeming features whatsoever. |
