I also found the guide (along with others) very useful, normally i would have just gone to a garage for a job like this because i don't have all day to spend under my car trying to figure it out, but if I know how straight forward it is then i'll do it myself.

Thanks, and keep the guides coming.

Even though you have missed my point againI doubt is would take all day to work out the you need to take one bolt and one nut off ;D

I suspect any abled body could do any job on the Omega.

The point of the guides is to give confidence, and also point out gotchas or easier ways of doing things.  All guides are useful to someone, be it changing oil, or changing a little end.


To the OP, I'm glad you found the guide useful. To those mocking the OP and the 'easier' guides on here, if you don't find them useful, thats your choice ;)

I find most spanner work quite easy, but I still often like to have a look at what's involved before I think about getting my spanners out. I wish there were some how-to-do's for this Smart of SWMBO. I could do with one for the timing chain.  ;)  ;)  :y

I quite like both the Smarts and the Roadsters. Both take some getting used to though - quirky!
