Still miss mine and it's a shame that they didn't make a proper successor.

some holden commodore and vxr8 that look similar too ??

Thanks for the pointer; however the profile is not the same. These assume the spring seat in the lower cup on the strut is a flat profile where as the Omega strut has the inbuilt step to correctly locate the end of the spring coil. The Omega insulator / damper ring/ rubber seat (various names for the lower rubber that the spring sits on) is a relatively thin moulded rubber to accommodate the step, whereas the Monaro type is a flat base and I don't think they would be pliable enough to follow the profile in the cup which is quite a step.
But every avenue will be looked into, thanks.....

Complete set of OEM rather than aftermarket upgrades... Heated in a low oven/boiling water would probably facilitate assembly.

I always reused the original ones without issue regardless of the springs being used.

I should add that Monaro front struts also have a cupped lower spring seat and the springs are fundamentally interchangeable with the Omega.

the monaro ones on ebay look ok ?

Apparently Jack Straw has now also become a " far right activist".

You mean the spring seats?

In which case...

Monaro front struts are basically the same but attach to the hub differently. The Holden VW/X/Y/Z shares very little with the Omega, but some suspension components are interchangeable and it's a much better supported platform than the Omega B.

Found a half washer wedged in the larger hose spigot following a sensor failure. When you consider that this is the coolant out flow from the expansion tank, it's got potential to cause an issue.

If the float pops off, it's because the plastic has degraded. Pieces of the washer can then enter the cooling system. Worst case the whole washer gets into a pipe and then you run the risk of cooking the engine.

Never seen or heard of that before.
