Stupid Omega!
« on: 30 October 2011, 21:53:27 »
Went to use the 3.2 this afternoon: turning over but won't fire.

Posting in gen chat, as I think it's human error: no petrol!!

Range indicates 12 miles, but reckon it's lying!

 what tools am I blaming? I think you'll see my first post openly held up hands to 'human error'....  ;)

I have been looking at the red light for a while thinking 'must get some'... But it wasnt flashing yet!

Maybe the 2 mile walk with a jerry can will teach me to fill up sooner!!!!

Was it lack of petrol or was it something far worse than  that turned it  into a non starter   ??? ???

The Omega goes to 1/4 - red but I'll run the Astra to 470 miles on the tank which will take it to the wrong side of the red sometimes .................  ::) ::) ::) but then they both get topped right up.

One thing I need to take note with the 3.2, is when that fuel light on it really does need fuel  ;D
