whats happening with this tub now then?

[jonboy429]

Well at the moment it's sat at my work, looking very sorry for itself!

I've got the use of another car until I either fix the Omega, or replace it!

Can do without spending money this close to christmas as is with most people! Not really sure what to do!

Hi All!

Have been thinking of the best way forward on this gearbox issue, and have been given a suggestion by our mechnic at work..................

Converting the auto to a manual instead.

Any advice/suggestions would be welcome!

About the most sensible suggestion in this section today

[Omegatoy]

makes far better use of the engine characteristics, better fuel economy,much nicer to drive,

parts required,
td gearbox,clutch and flywheel,spigot bearing for the crank,
pedal box for a manual, clutch master cylinder and associated plumbing,
front half of prop for a manual,or a complete manual prop if you can find one easier than a half,
interior trim piece for the manual,

go for it !!

I will say, as much as I utterly detest the Omega manual box, I'd much sooner have a manual tractor than an auto. Petrol auto Omegas, no problem, but the TD auto is horrible. And mullers economy.

I still love mine after 13 years, despite the - current - high fuel consumption, which may be due to the faulty thermostat to be changed this week.

I was toying with manual conversion on mine, but somebody offered the right money before the summer I was going to do it...   ...I just couldn't get on with that auto

Sounds like it's a good suggestion then........

Time to start looking around then!

Nope, I've given up on her so she's off to ebay.

Don't have the time to tackle it myself and can't afford to pay someone to do it for me!
