Drove it to Colchester to visit with Johnnycboy

I may have gotten involved in a rear wheel bearing change whilst I was there too

Yes and what a horrible job it is too.  Handbrake shoe pins were the worst part - bloody horrible design


Thankfully had a couple of close friends to help out though.

I went to calibrate the lpg so I tried to load the driver for the usb interface - no joy.  Download the drivers from the manufacturers website - no joy.  Try all sorts of drivers I find on the net - no joy.  Stumble across one on the Motogas website - it works.

Started calibration - one cyl ok, 3 = stall.

Suspect air leak - remove plenum and shift wiring around.

Restarted calibration again - one cyl ok, 3 = stall.

Suspect air leak in different place - remove breather ECOTEC Box and replace washers which were shot.

Restart calibration again - one cyl ok, 3 = stall.

break it - left it and tried to get on OOF - no joy.  break it - searched the internet for clues including the cached pages of OOF - no joy.

I niggling thought entered my mind so went to fill the lpg tank some more.  1st station the sat decides to take me to it via manchester.  I stop, reprogramme idiot-nav and get to fleet Total garage.  LPG nossle buggered - break it.  Went to M3 services (the back route)  almost get caught by a copper.

Filled up with LPG, it's a single hole tank so it took forever.  Drove home and restarted calibration - worked first time!

Arse!  Who's a rather eejit?! 

On the plus side, it rather works!

Yeah, I nearly had a heart attack when I saw them, the mot had them as an advisory 7 months ago being "a bit rusty" seeing how bad they were i'd say they had to be a lot more than a bit lol... Still they're done now.

All I've done to mine is driven it home far too quickly. Blimey can it shift when asked . Its so nice to be able to push it hard again, without worrying about thrust washer

I might have taken a little tread off TheDaddy's MV6 tyres . Don't tell him

[Lazydocker]

Driven it to numerous shops to take Mrs LD Birthday Shopping!

[micoandmojo]

Doesn't matter if you have worked on an Omega or another one of your cars which isn't an Omega, just share what you have been doing 

full valet then three hrs trying to get the bonnet open lol
