Its all those awkward clips holding those 6 short rubber air intake hoses on...

Oh i know the very ones - come of okay - putting back on could be challenging

but if you listen to Haynes " refitting is the reversal of removing"
PMSL, read that as "we never got ours back together, so you're on your own"

According to "The haynes theory", if you smack into a lamp post, simply reverse off it and everything will be back together again :y

Funny thing was, reason I hit lampost was because I was in a hurry. Reason I was in a hurry, was because the garage had had the van all morning due to me running out of diesel the day before, and they'd never bled one before.  So 15mins after them sending me off, I was back with a caved in rear end (reversed into lampost)  :-[

I warned them not to give me an Escort ;)

Okay so not omega - but we were getting desperate as the Safrane is now mot`less





Have you ever tried to buy the car of your choice 4 days before christmas? Dont !!

Have to say the build quality doesnt feel as sturdy as the barge - electric windows a bit rattly

But it looks dam nice and we got a cracking deal on it - shes even got an irmscher back box   :(

Done the oil change and oil, pollen and air filters this morning and she ticks over very nice  :y

Rain on now so coolant change postponed

I know we dont like veccies on here ut better than a renault ? Yes / No ?

Very nice car mate, i hope she has many trouble free miles.
