Hi all, this is a continuation of my previous post from March this year
https://www.omegaowners.com/forum/index.php?topic=144508.msg1895652#msg1895652Since this post, and TB finding nothing wrong, the light has come on again. The smells I thought were oil, turns out to be water from leaks under the scuttle.
Chris found rusty water in the plug wells. It has NOT come from the engine, as the water level is constant full. New dis packs have been purchased but not yet fitted.
Old ones damaged.
Now...the spanner light. When Chris picked the car up, he said the light came on, when going slow, and went into limp mode. On restart, no light. I have come down to Dorset, car ran a dream. I have done nearly 200 miles, but yesterday, I had to stop on a hill in Corfe. When I was able to carry on, the car stayed in low gear, revs hit the roof, then a big jump as it changed up, and the spanner light came on. It drove ok to Swanage. On restart, it performed as though nothing had happened, no light and is still ok.
Chris said he was going very slow uphill, and my situation was the same. On torturing the wife for earlier details, it seems its the 'slow' is the common denominator.
Chris thinks, possibly a sump off job/service, which it could probably do with. Any other ideas or similar experience. There is no noise from the box, and changes are normal (imo)
