Yes it revs fine even when cold it won't idle until it has run for 3 to 4 minutes

It's running rough it starts but have to keep the revs up for a couple of minutes or it seems to start running on one or two cylinders before cutting out after the initial warm up it will run but doesn't seem to have its full power or throttle response. It is the orange engin block that stays on constantly

Thanks Jason.
P'S.

To the comments below the pedal trick works on the 2.2 Auto but you need to put car into drive and then carry out test as described .

As a heating engineer not in any way a car mechanic looking at your photo boilers have similar parts take it to a plumbing merchant they will have complete sets of O rings you can buy separately replace them with the correct size and at the same time buy some silicone grease use this liberally on orange and shaft this will also help with the seal.

Omega General Help / hairy exhaust

« on: 04 May 2015, 10:09:04 »

Hi guys
I have got glass fiber coming out of my exhaust pulled out what was hanging out. Am I correct in thinking this is the packing in the back box and as I have only just passed an mot I don't want to spend any money It doesn't seem more noisy or have a loss of power so is ok to leave as is
Thanks in advance for your replies

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: have I discovered the only active volcano in Cheshire

I've checked the temperature sensor found it easily from your description but it was sited correctly and on inspection no visible faults or water ingress.  Is there any thing further I can do

C/F was my first thought but it is showing oC I will try and locate the sensor and check it's position but it's reading high even first thing in the morning with minus temperatures

Hi I have just bought new and unused in my local paper classified for £10.00 a pair of Excel wishbones for my 2.2 auto.  I wondered if any one had any experience with these and could give me some feedback

Suspension arms disc's and pads my questions are the arms are just lumps of metal with rubber bits on the three corners can I not remove them and replace the 2 bushes and ball joint. Secondly I am informed that I have a brake
Ware sensor on the front pads but can't find the sensor or any associated wiring
