Omega General Help / Re: please bare with me

that the 'oil in the coolant' is usually really obvious while the 'coolant in the sump' is less so

he has drained about 3 pints of coolant out of the sump I believe

Other way round! A faulty oil cooler puts oil in the water.

Omega General Help / Re: Air con query??
« on: 15 June 2016, 22:53:51 »
No you don't need to worry. Lots of cars lose the gas in their air con plus the compressor will not run anyway unless you turn on the air con inside the car.

Thank you to Lazydocker, Flyer0712 and Migmog for your constructive replies rather than the posters of the unhelpful comments I received earlier.

Nick W ...thank you for a sensible reply. I was only asking if there was a way in without my causing damage, I was at my garage about 5 miles from home, i had plenty of tools available and i got in the car myself but not without causing some damage...not visible however. If the reply here was it cant be done i would have left it at that....however the first reply to my question suggested it was possible but it was unwise to tell me publicly.

Insert QuoteAs I recall, everyone who has ever asked the question has been given the same response...

If you can't understand why then that's reason enough for the advice you have been given...

Yes I can understand why which is why i asked for a private reply! Seem to think this has happened in the past when others have had the same query. I assume those of you who know how its done (if there is a way) have been told by someone else and not worked it out yourselves?

Indeed it is...just thankfull I didn't wait, get a taxi home and rely on getting help here to get in as there has been none. So much for helping each other out and that's what i was under the impression it was all about....still you live and learn.

Nick, Even if i had a duplicate key cut i would not carry it around with me everywhere i went...this is the first time ever it has happened so it really is an infrequent event (i hope)   only really happened because i was repairing the ignition lock.

Am I missing something here? I have asked for help how to get inside my car without the key if I'm locked out. Simple question I thought......seems I'm wrong.
Go to the nearest, cheapest place that will cut  a key.

That is advice I didn't need, I'm not simple and well aware I can do that....but its no help if I'm locked out nowhere near where a spare key is hanging is it!

Ive been a member of this forum for years and posted a simple question for some help....is it so difficult to actually answer the question I asked? I know for certain I am not the first member to ask it .

There is, but in my view, its not something that should be discussed on an open Forum.


Could you enlighten me in private then?

Omega General Help / LOCKED MYSELF OUT!
« on: 05 December 2015, 18:58:53 »
My ignition key had become awkward to turn, requiring a good amount of jiggling to start the car so I decided today I had better follow the guides and sort it out....which I managed ok. On refitting the barrel in the steering lock housing I accidentally pressed the lock button and locked the doors although the drivers door was still open. As I left to fetch a screwdriver todays high winds blew the door closed and I was locked out with my key in the ignition lock and I have no spare. So now I am locked out of the car. I have now got back in and retrieved my keys by the best method I could think of at the time. However I am wondering if there is a way of getting in I didn't consider that would not have caused any damage. My car is a 2000 V6 ESTATE

Omega General Help / Re: boot gas struts died overnight?!
« on: 15 August 2015, 22:15:42 »
The struts on my car have done similar...been fine for 3 years and now they wont hold the tailgate up ,it comes slowly down! Only fails on cold mornings at the moment but I expect it to get worse....just bought a new pair of struts but not fitted them yet.

now showing 9.2 ltr per 100km rather than 6.9. not in any way scientific!

Unless I am reading this wrong your fuel consumption is now worse. Its taking 9.2lt to do 100km instead of the 6.9lt it used previously.

Something strange going on with these belts then....although I expected a genuine GM belt to be marked correctly!...seems not though.
