It may be worth mentioning that the Lens is not glass but Polycarbonate/Plastic-dont put any kind of solvent or anything scratchy near them!
Some have mentioned using Toothpaste!

Droning noises in the back can also be down to Inner Drive Shaft bearings on the Diff. Relatively easy to change.

Omega General Help / Re: 3.2 rear brake disc removal (or not)
« on: 04 April 2011, 03:11:04 »
Get underneath and slacken off the adjuster,you'll have to remove a heatshield first. The brake shoes tend to catch in a groove that has been worn into the drum part.
You can slacken off the one side at a time through the little hole in the drum/disc assembly. Trouble is knowing which direction to go! Its a right pain in the backend.
Far easier to slacken off as suggested,underneath where the cable splits in two,that way you are doing both sides at a time.

Check your (front) tyre pressures,low pressure puts quite a load on the pump!

A 1/4" socket set with a 'wobbly' connector will get at the 4 bolts holding it in. Then limber up your wrists and fingers!

Check your front tracking,too much toe in can make the steering very lively!

If it is a rear door watch your positioning or it will catch the rear edge of the front door when opening.

Omega General Help / Re: Seized piston in rear brake caliper!
« on: 12 April 2010, 22:27:52 »
I had same problem on a front caliper. by removing the outer pad and dropping the caliper back over the disk I was able to pump the piston out a bit further. Plenty of silicon grease under the rubber boot on the piston surface and then used a Ford rotary retractor to squeeze and twist the piston back in.
I did this a couple of times to lubricate and free up the piston. HTH.

Omega General Help / Re: Urgent help required please re handbrake adjuster!
« on: 09 March 2010, 21:23:37 »
Please be aware that which ever direction works for one side will be the opposite for the other side!
I 'think' it is up on drivers side and down on other side.
The so called toothed wheel you are working on actually has rounded cut outs as opposed to straight like a cog or gear wheel.
If you are trying to adjust Handbrake travel then you are working on the wrong adjusters! You should be under the car working on the handbrake adjuster which is just before where the cable divides to each side.
