Omega General Help / Re: A Sad Day! :-(

I have been given a low mileage Toyota, (25K) that does 55mpg and no longer get paid mileage so the Omega is no longer viable.

Omega General Help / A Sad Day! :-(
« on: 14 March 2013, 15:03:47 »
I have decided to sell my beloved low mileage FVSH Omega. Despite owning it for 5 years, I haven't amassed the 250 posts to sell it on this website so sadly Ebay must be the route that I must take.
The question under the 'Omega General Help' section is.... what on earth should I ask for it?
It has had all the expensive main dealer servicing done and millions of parts and runs like a peach at 90K miles.
Any ideas where I should pitch this? I am putting it on THAT website tonight and will slowly weep as it moves to a new home.

Yup, a change in crankshaft sensor again sorted the problem. This site is the best!

'Tis indeed a mystery. The garage assured me that it was a genuine part but I guess even they can become faulty - Unless it is a wire somewhere?

What a pain. Yup, a faulty crankshaft sensor and now it starts but it takes ages and ages to do so and there is a loud click every now and again when starting. Now it won't start again.
Any more ideas?
HELP!

I'll check when it stops pelting down with rain. Are Crank sensors dear or difficult to fit?

Thanks guys. What would I do without you. Fault codes. Would the AA know about them - or their sub-contractor?
If it is a crank sensor, dare I ask cost of part and labour. Be gentle with me!

The AA sub-contractor has given up. Any ideas?
My car is a 3 litre V6.
Thank you

Omega General Help / Re: What do you recommend for rear Springs?
« on: 11 June 2012, 14:49:23 »
Thanks guys. A source managed to locate me a brand new set with just a couple of months use. Nice and cheap and £50 for the pair including postage. The garage said they looked like new. I suppose they were!

Omega General Help / What do you recommend for rear Springs?
« on: 29 May 2012, 18:48:56 »
More gloom and doom. My 1998 Omega 3 litre car has just failed its MOT with 2 rear broken springs. 
So, I can replace them with original Vauxhall parts and use Tradeclub which brings them down to £450 - so I am told - or use an equivalent.
Don't get me wrong, I love sporty cars but I want to keep my Omega as original as possible and want to keep the same ride height etc.
So, if you were me which brand would you go for or should I stick with the Vauxhall ones?
Many thanks you lovely people....
