Title: Any omega mechanics in London?
Post by: sneakypenguin on 10 September 2009, 09:08:08

Morning everyone, just wondering if there are any miggy mechanics in London at all? Got a few things I need sorting out, coolant leak somewhere, suspect rocker cover gaskets and a few silly electrical gremlins. Thanks

sorry!!
changed split rad after overheated slightly, along with cam cover gaskets, and cleaning the breather pipes/assembly on top of plenum.  problem is now an oil leak that only appears with engine running and runs down the drivers side of the auto box housing (had a look in the bell housing and no oil leak present there).
upon further inspection it seems that the leak is from further up, any help would be great!!
was also running lumpy after re-assembly, but im pretty sure that it needs new leads due to the cam cover gasket problem!! cheers!!

Probably the new gaskets, they are quite fiddly to refit esp on the passenger side.

If anyone wants to pop around to Camberley area I can have a look this weekend.  I have a colleague coming round to get his brake pads changed so I can have a look then.

Were the gaskets used genuine?
