That's good to here, but remember WD40 isn't a lubricant.

if you do do the thermostat whilst doing your oil cooler (as I did) the bolt securing the coolant tranfer pipe is called the Ba***ard bolt with good reason, good luck

I did think that might be what was ment but couldnt understand why a higher torque value wasnt just specified.

I've started changing the discs and all is going well old one off new one going on, my question refers to the line in the guide
"Refit caliper mounting bracket, doing the 18mm bolts to 95Nm then angle tighten 30 degrees..."
what is ment by "then angle tighten 30 degrees..."?

For some unknown and highly stupid reason, it seems you only get 2 replacement caliper bolts, when you should really get 4 ... several members have had this problem.
If I were to buy the kit again I would open it in the dealers and check/ask for all 4 bolts !!
Not a difficult job, allow a morning - to include coffee breaks ..
Got the bits and for the fist time they seemed to take the abs card so got every thing for the righ price.
Whilst there I opened the box and there were indeed only 2 bolts, pointed this out to them and after a bit of head scratching got me some more bolts, then he said TIS says you only need 2 and I said he was wrong so he asked the spanner monkey who was there and he said they only take out 1 bolt and swing the caliper out the way but this wasnt very good as it put strain on everythin, so that could be the answer as to why they only supply 2 bolts in the kit.
Just got to wait till tomorow so I can fit them

Quoteok so I've just got back from the MOT, and it did better than I thought it might, however it still failed, front discs.
Ive had a look through the maintenance guides but theres nothing about the brakes, so is there any thing I need to know and does any one have the part no. for discs and pads and rough price?
For your Omega stick to Vx discs and pads, which come in a money saving package 093175466 for £103 ex vat, or just £75.74 ex vat with Trade Card
Thanks lizzie, just what I was after.
Does that include discs and pads for bot sides?

Omega General Help / what do you think of these codes
« on: 10 July 2009, 20:23:58 »
I noticed whilst taking the mig for its mot that the EML has come on, I've tryed reading the codes and I think I've got 135, 57, 129.
I have had the plenum and intake manafold off to do the oil cooler, ran the engin for about half an hour after putting it all back together last thursday and didnt see the EML on, I havent run it since as needed mot (today)
any ideas what I've done?
