Title: Hello old friends
Post by: omegaV6CD on 05 July 2009, 22:24:40

Hey guys, some of the older members on here might remember me, i used to own an Omega till couple of years ago. Now i have bought another one(Christian's MV6) that i'm going to bring up to scratch and sell it to my dad.
Drove the car back to darlington on Friday and it was a beautifull drive car behaved faultlessly apart from the steering feeling a bit unprecise(maybe i'm spoiled from the steering of the GTA). There is not much work needed but i have decided to do the following just to bring it up to 100% perfect condition.So here is the list of things to be done before the end of August:
Change oil and all filters
Change Gearbox oil and gearbox filter
Change Diff oil
Change coolant and brakefluid
Change Shock Absorbers
Change 2 tyres
Carry out full suspension geometry check
Fix cigarette burn in the drivers seat
Recharge the air con
Few cosmetic details.

Question though, where can i buy the gearbox filter from?

Thanks!

or jpat or autobahnstormers for the filter etc.

Although, to be honest, I have found they clean out very well with parraffin because they are only a fabric sheet!

Nice to hear from you again.
Thanks for the information, i never knew that you can actually clean these filters.
How do you suggest cleaning it? I never used parafin before.

Also,
How can i adjust the height on the electric drivers seat? It doesnt seem to work.

Thanks!
