Just seen your pm

While you’re at it when was the belt last done?

Happy to observe and guide (no cost) but currently in too much pain for much car work

Hi James,

Sorry to hear you are still in pain mate, I'd like to take you up on your kind offer to guide and observe if that's ok?

Not sure when the belt was last done, so I will add that onto the parts list!

Omega General Help / 2.6 V6 Rocker Gaskets

« on: 16 January 2018, 01:04:39 »

Hello everyone, I've found that the rocker gaskets need replacing on my new miggy, I've looked at the guide on here but it looks way to complicated for a newbie! 

I was wondering if anyone local would be able to assist, as I would much rather pay someone on here then the garage! I am willing to get stuck in, but some assistance would be wonderfull.

Quite happy to supply all the parts, bacon sarnies and tea! 

Thanks in advance

General Discussion Area / Trying To Find

« on: 23 March 2016, 18:57:32 »

Hi All, I am trying to hunt down my Grandad's old Miggy, it was a Silver 2.2 CDX reg X584 RDX. He died 10 years ago this year and i was just wondering where the car ended up! I now drive a miggy myself so thought where better to start than OOF! If anyone has seen the car or maybe worked on it could they give me a shout? Many Thanks

Omega General Help / Advice On Bumper Damage

« on: 31 March 2014, 19:15:01 »

Hi Everyone, Went out to the car this afternoon and found that some little oink had hit my miggy and caused this:


Of course they didn't leave a nice note with their name and insurance details!

Just wondering if you guys think that the damage is reparable using the halfords filler and paint, the scratches are quite deep, almost tears in the bumper, or is it a new bumper?

Thanks as always
Ben

Hi all,

Omega General Help / Re: Going nuts - locking wheel nut key

« on: 28 March 2014, 20:03:11 »

I'm not to sure if its fixable, but the code for the key should be on a white card normally kept in the locking nut case, I had to get a replacement key from VX cost £20

thanks for the comments so far everyone, the rad pipe heats up gradually, the system had a full flush after the head gasket was changed, the blowers are still giving me that initial blast of hot air then going cold? very odd one!

Blue are pipes that are cold, and red are pipes that are hot

Hey everyone,

Some more info on this one, the rear blowers are blowing hot air, but the front ones are still blowing cold, i have completed the reset and 'burped' the system, i've taken her on a run and she's running at 85-90C until i turn on the heater then she drops down slightly, i am trying up upload a picture to show the engine bay and which pipes are hot and cold.

Thanks Ben

Hi Everyone, having some issues with the miggy (again!) this time the heater will start blowing hot air, (Climate on Hi and not auto,) then 5 seconds later will blow almost cold air, i've checked the fan and everything i can see under the bonnet but no change, it has just had a coolant change and flush.

Any help would be most grateful as always.
