« on: 07 August 2008, 13:24:25 »

Thanks for all the help - the winner was GRUMPY, I checked the connector to find it not there, 15 mins of firkling round the back of a hot engine and found it plugged it in eml banished   school boy error   still she's working now. I'm sending her off for MOT on Moday to see what they can find wrong I'm sure there will be something CHEERS

put a new battery on but it hasn't moved off the drive, couple of things though with her being stood for a while, and having oil in the spark plugs I thought it would be a good idea to let some of the oil into the pistons and turn her over by hand to make sure I didn't crack any piston rings, I have also had an issue with the "straw" like vacum pipes one had a hole or two in it so I have taped it up and can retain pressure.

Cheers for the advice I bit the bullet and borrowed my m8's Halfords trade card saved £25 on a battery ! I unplugged sparkies to find they were having an oil bath so I'm following the Very helpful instructions to replace cam cover gaskets. Once thats complete I strap on the new battery and give it a whirl.

Omega General Help / V6 wont turn over

« on: 03 June 2008, 00:24:51 »

For the last 2 years my V6 has been makin the garden look pretty, I thought it was about time to put her back on the road - so I drained fuel tank, coolant, and oil, changed the filters and charged the battery stuck the key in I have power but engine refuses to turn over - I would expect to here the starter motor clicking if it was shot, its a manual '98 estate by the way. Anybody got any ideas - the fml stays on and does not flash so I don't think its the immobiliser, I can also hear a relay powering on when the key is in pos2 and off when in pos1 I am a bit stuck - like my engine any help would be appreciated.

Omega General Help / oil on one valve V6 estate

« on: 10 June 2008, 21:47:30 »

I'm following the cam cover gasket change guide, got to the point of taking off the fuel rail and thought I would have a peer down at the valves, one valve (in closed position) has a little puddle of oil whilst all the others that are closed are dry is this normal or is it time to worry ?   She has been standing for 2 years and apart from oil in the spark plug wells she was running fine before I took her off the road, also there is no burnt oil residue on the valve. Any body have any thoughts ?  :-?

Omega General Help / Re: how do I get the throttle ball joint separated ?

« on: 08 June 2008, 16:21:16 »

After much swearing I got a torch it would seem a previous owner managed to break a pin and rotate it internally such that a new pin could be fitted, so I unbolted the butterfly from the plenum and moved it to one side ( as some one has suggested I'll have to clean this in situ thanks for the help though everyone

« on: 08 June 2008, 13:02:36 »

I'm following the working instructions for removing the plenum, (very good by the way ! much better than haynes !!) I have removed the pin but can't separate the ball joint, I have cruise so dont want to put too much force on the plastic connector, tried 2 screw diver technique but cant get enough purchase, tried levering off the linkage but it started to bend so stopped anybody got any suggestions ?
