I must say a big thank you to this Forum as the advice and technical sections have been very helpful.

This weekend I have cleaned out the Breathers and Throttle and fitted a new idle air control valve and fitted new rear discs and pads all as show in the technical guides.

I was very surprised about the extent of the breather blockage, the 'long bolt' that connects to three breather tubes in a banjo type fixing that screws into the throttle under the butterfly valve was completely blocked so much that i had to drill it out, it was that solid.
If i had not dropped the bloody thing in the engine bay and took nearly an hour to find it again it would have been a fairly easy job.

But I'm feeling rather smug as all that would have cost me at the dealers,

Next job when it arrives is the Heater Bypass Valve

An extra £60.00 if they'd have dropped it.  
Nice when you do sumat your self, because you save some £££ & you have the feeling that i've done that.

When I bought my Omega, I knew nothing about them. So when I noticed a huge pool of water under my car one morning, it was the guys on this site who came to my rescue and told me;

A, What the problem was
B, Where to get the part
C, Full instructions on how to fix it.

Replacing the HBV is involved, but fairly straightforward and a relief when it is done.

If you need any clarification or help, just ask me or anyone on here.
