I like it, the throw is a little long, but I like fact can rest my arm on the arm rest in most gears.

There's an understatement!!!!!!

And as for resting your arm... Both Hands should be on the wheel

Seconded. I would be trying to take some of the travel out of the stick, and remove some of the sponginess, if I had a manual Omega.

Then again, I'm used to the Westfield and the MX-5 which both have short throw and very little slack in the gearchange. A manual omega feels like stirring porridge in comparison.

I'm another who doesn't like the omega manual box, despite preferring manual cars...

[tunnie]

maybe i'm just used to it now, I did prefer the much shorter shift in my old Mondeo. But i'd still have any manual over an auto!

...that he is trying to empty due to a leak. 15% full this morning, drive to work, check, 7% left. So went out at lunchtime, and after work gave it a very spirited ride home. When I get home, still running, although gauge needle hard against the endstop (marked 5%).  Took it out for another blast for about 10m. Still running. Leave it idling on drive whilst I tech2 the MV6, and try to resolve a diagnostics problem with MV6. The Elite is still running.

Locked it up, gave up, walked in.

Where is the leak, TB?

In the tank...

Just noticed that mine is leaking again - professional installs eh ?

Tank end or engine bay?

[albitz]

Tank again. Wind the pipes in a bit tighter again I suppose ?

I find it a little concerning that they keep working loose :-?

Oh I dunno, its been almost a year since last time.......
Might make sure no- one smokes in there for the next 9 days and then seek advice at the Essex meet ?

Nip them up again

[albitz]

OK,will do.

I managed to run mine out at last. Going sideways between Silverstone and Wappenham 

Anyway, get it home, it kept switching back to petrol immediately on idle, so thats as empty as I could get it.

Undone the polyflex connection at the back, not even a hiss. Undone the valve from the tank (only in 3 turns ), only a tiny hiss (and I mean tiny).  So the pickup can't be far out

Cleaned up threads, PTFE and liquid sealent, on 4 turns (couldn't get 5 - managed 4.5, but had to wind back half a turn).  Leaving to fully cure until tomorrow night or Sat morning.


Fingers crossed.

Hopefully that will sort it then

Pop 5l in, bring home, then check for smell?

Hmm... Tricky one that. Id didn't start leaking until it was full before :-/ :-/ But I'd be wanting to start with less than a full tank this time

When you do fill it, keep an eye on the pump in case the shut off doesn't cut in like before
