Replaced the bush on the drivers door stay - to stop that crack noise and removed the mudflaps that kept hitting every ramp

[05omegav6]

Drove it after 3 days sitting idle Noticed a few things... in no particular order:

Really agile, goes exactly where you point it, frost or no frost. Sooo much nicer than the 800k Daf suet I've been driving
It really relishes that nice cold ice cold air albeit at the expense of fuel economy.
Heated seats are great, but why no steering wheel heater nearly put gloves on to drive home
The coolant warning was on, checked it, only to find level ok, but a big white golf ball bobbing up and down in the header tank guessing the level sensor has expired

Might treat it to a quick hoover tomorrow, assuming it's not snowing

Pretty much the same here.. After about 2 months idle... Not the Omega though. Damned right on the heated steering wheel.

If the flotat has come off, you want to get the little plastic washer/clip that holds it on before it goes around coolant system.

If the washer in question is about 3/4" in diameter, it has been fished out intact, guess it wasn't glued on very well

Thats it, same plastic as the bottle itself.

I think its heat welded on. So nothing a soldering iron can't fix

[TheBoy]

or superglue, but don't allow it to get on the float itself.

Shall add it to the list of associated jobs when the cambelt is due, along with a new radiator will try and squeeze 18 months out of the one I got from uncle Albert

[symes]

Today did neighbours 2.5 v6
Fitted thermostat and temp gauge sensor
and Reverse sensors

[albitz]

Put £75 worth of petrol in it and paid £47 for it.That should last me 6 months or so.
Im really hoping for a dry and not too cold day before Thursday so I can change the Dispack & stat on the Omega and once again delve into the problem of the Cavalier vac pump oil leak.

[Elite Pete]

Picked up SP-32s (Steve's) old Omega, think i'll keep it

[albitz]

Had plans for today,and tomorrow,but you know what they say about plans.
Spent the whole day at the hospital (nothing wrong with me personally) and will be back there again first thing in the morning.
Starting to agree with TB about shutting down the NHS altogether after todays events.

Treated mine to an oil & filter change
