Hi Sam..I think you should try Serek at SOS Automotive,in Huntingdon, as he breaks the odd Omega. I've been taking my three Omegas there for many years and he has an infinite knowledge of the beast, having owned quite a few himself, and comes highly recommended on OOF. I don't have a phone number to give to you as I only have his personal mobile number,.and can't give that out. But they are on facebook, and have a website also.

I remember that name from many moons back, i think i brought some bits from him a few times, i will reach out. Thank you  :y

It's the only thing on the 3.2 that would make that noise as there's none of the emissions BS that the 2.5/3.0 are afflicted with.

Ahh okay, thanks for that, every day is a school day  ;)

Hi Sam, welcome back. I remember you and your DTi.
You came down to Essex to buy some parts from me years ago, when I was breaking Omegas.
Sounds like all you need to do now is pull the fuse for the self levelling pump. Not much point in removing it imo.
You should check the rear springs youve bought though. You may well have been supplied with springs for an Elite, which will be too soft for standard shocks.

Hello sir!

Wow, blast from the past! sounds about right, i was blasting everywhere for bits for the DT hahaha

So I've just checked the springs i brought, they are listed for the 3.2 Saloon without rear self levelling, so sounds like you could be right, just need to pull the fuse (just need to find out which one)

Interesting, I've already changed the rear springs as one was broken, however when changing I'm 99% sure the rear shocks have been changed already for non self levelling ones - in this case I think it maybe a case of just removing the pump - just to clarify though, the noisy pump is in front of the driver side front wheel, is this the compressor then? just on my VXR's that's exactly where the secondary air pump is mounted

As title suggests, would like to find an MV6 Front Bumper for my Elite project

Cheers

Hi Everyone,

Sam here, some of the OG members may remember my high miler 2.2 DTI which i did a full interior swap from cloth to cream leather, xenon retrofit and a few other bits.

Picked my 03 Plate 3.2 Auto Elite up about a month ago, usual rusty areas are due to be addressed - had many platforms over the years, however this is my first 3.2.

Absolutely love it!

Glad to be back, I have some weird and wonderful niggles to sort which no doubt the OG members and people a lot cleverer than me will be able to help on.

My main annoying thing is the Air Injection pump in the wheel arch is proper noisy when first starting up - just wondering if there is a way over servicing them or its just a replacement jobby

It would need the Front Washer Drilling

Its blue unfortunately...

Your more than welcome to it though  :y

Hi All,

I'm looking for repair panels for my FL TD, I keep finding rear panels for the pre facelift, will these fit the FL?

Is there any difference in the rear quarter/ wheel arch between PFL and FL?

Here are a few I've seen
