Title: Ola!
Post by: SmiffyMan on 26 June 2008, 15:55:49
Hi all,

Just sold my 190E Merc (Bag 'o carp!) and decided to get me another Omega. This will be my 4th. Got a 2000 MV6 Auto (110K) immaculate. Runs like a dream but does have the optional plugs covered in oil syndrome. Smokes a bit.
Sucked all the oil out with a long piece of tube (By mouth!) and tightened up the torques nuts. After two days still leaking a little on the exhaust but no oily plugs as yet. Got me a gasket (£23.00) (right side) SO THATS MY SATURDAY SORTED! Great site. Hope to get some great advise and stuff. Cheers. Ian. (Married, 2 sprogs, a wife. 2 cats, a dog, an MX5 Elan lookalike and this MV6).

Hi and welcome to the forum :y

Make sure you clean the breathers, which is the reason the camcover gasket has blown ;)

Boody Hell - what a super friendly bunch you are! Don't suppose you all fancy comming round to mine and doing my cam-cover gaskets for me do you? I'll make you all a cup of tea!!  Cheers guys thanks for the welcome. I hope to do my gaskets this week-end weather permitting. I've read that Vectra alloy ones can be used - is this so and is it reccomended? had two new tyres (£52.00 each fitted and balanced - Admirals) fitted today coz they were both really bald in the centre (What has happened hear me thinks?) When the car was on the four post jack, I had a little look whilst the tyre guy did his thing - rear springs both snapped about and inch up from the bottom. How much do these cost? Any Ideas. Is it a big job?

Cheers  ;)
