Omega General Help / Head Gasket

« on: 30 December 2014, 17:57:22 »

I think the head gasket may have gone on my 3.2 Elite - Came back from France 500 mile round trip and noticed a strange rubber/plastic petrol smell and what appeared to be some black smoke coming from the engine bay.

I have also noticed that it looks like steam coming from the exhaust and when I checked the oil filler cap there is a small amount of white sludge under the cap.

Strangely though no sludge on the dip stick and the water expansion tank appears at the normal level and no oil drops in the water.

Not being an expert I think that possibly the head gasket may have just gone maybe that is why there are no definite signs.

I have booked the car into my local garage next week, but I would be grateful on your opinions!

The car was running really well so will be annoying if it is the head gasket as the repair is likely to be more than the cars worth.

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Headlight Switch Removal

« on: 03 December 2014, 22:46:49 »

Can anyone asdvise on how to remove the rotary headlight switch asst which I need to replace.
I have seen a picture of the new switch asst and it looks like it is held in with 2 spring lugs,1 each side if the unit.
Was thinking maybe a thin flat bladed knife could be pushed down each side to compress the spring lugs!
Any advice gratefully received.

I was told about the car by a customer of mine,a elderly couple owned the car and only drove it 7k in the last 4 years!
It had full main dealer service history etc,so very pleased with my purchase
