Omega General Help / Are the pre f
« on: 07 September 2011, 20:56:44 »
Evening
I'm hoping to buy an Irmscher spoiler but just wondered whether the boot lids are the same on pre-facelift/mini facelift/facelift? See I'm not sure what the spoiler is off so just wanted to make sure it will fit. It's an hour or so drive away whist isn't much but it's not like it's round the corner to physically check.
Thanks
Mike

Omega General Help / Re: Is it worth fitting an LSD?
« on: 03 August 2011, 18:17:33 »
Not sure what they are to be honest although I'm not convinced they lock up like a true LSD so more like an open diff??? This is however coming from someone that only knows as much as he reads or is told!
This was another thing I wondered - its likely to have been thrashed, what sort of life expectancy for ex-plod LSD?

Nice one. Already seen a few roundabouts sideways so think I've been persuaded now!

Omega General Help / Is it worth fitting an LSD?
« on: 02 August 2011, 17:45:53 »
Hello
I'm thinking of fitting an LSD from
a 2001 ex-plod MV6 to my 1999 facelift. I accept it's not a true LSD in the general meaning and don't want it for drifting so a couple of questions for you -
- Am I likely to see any real benifit re performance/handling?
- Is it a difficult job to fit? I asked cos it's not something I'd try myself so concerned the cost will outweigh the benefits?!
- Have I hit a midlife crisis early and is this simply an unecessary failed attempt to be cool?!
Thanks.

Omega General Help / Seat airbags
« on: 24 March 2011, 18:30:49 »
Hello. This is probably going to sound a little stupid but is it difficult to replace the seat airbag? Mines an FL but the seats are from a MFL. I don't think it's activated but the cover is split and I can see the airbag??? Can't be sure if it was like it when we put the seats in or not!
Thanks!
Thanks!

Sorry for the delay, been at the Cheltenham races! Drank lots of beer/guiness and lost even more cash!
Many thanks for your help here, appreciate it!
Take your point on the modifications I know you have to be careful here cos insurers will sometimes do their best to make life difficult!

I'm not sure. My mate did it today while I sloped off to work! Definitely disconnected the battery on mine cos I had to reset the radio code, not sure about the other
car. I'll have to find out! Is it a diffucult job?

Ok, so here's the update!
I should probably start by clarifying my error cos mine is the facelift and the doner MV6 is a mini facelift! The seats are in mine now and I have up and down electrics. As you said, heaters have gone!!!
This remains work in progress (by my mate) but I also have the airbag symbol on the dash but the seats do have airbags! Am I stuck with this do you think?
It's me being greedy i guess! Should of held off for a set of facelifts to come up but couldn't resist at £100!

Thanks. They told me they'd replaced both rocker cover gaskets. If they did it seems non genuine parts cos I've only done 1000 miles!

Omega General Help / MV6 seats
« on: 12 March 2011, 12:36:13 »
Morning. Just treated myself to a 1999 3.0l manual MV6. Think it's the mini facelift or facelift. It came with 18" upgrade alloys and stainless steel exhaust. Had it serviced and it seems mint but maybe rocker cover leak! Mines got the cloth trim but I want the leather.Just wondered whether the seats from a 1998 S pre facelift would fit mine? Also would mine have an LSD?
Cracking forum!

Thanks. Shame really cos i know someone with a set from the pre facelift they've also got the air bags, would it definitely mess with the insurance? Guess you'd need the heaters with leather seats!
