« on: 29 January 2009, 23:54:09 »

Got Radio Cas + Blunket Multidisc player out of an omega. Can you buy the wiring to wire it back up as didnt have a chance to remove it. Not looking to put in the rear like before but the glove box if that makes a difference

Update

Managed to borrow a crane for a week on sat/sun (15 16 feb) to finish it off. Also got a small bonus from work which would be willing to pay for someone to do it. Talking to someone else apprently theres only ~2 1/2 hours work but they are abroad at moment.

Tried a load of local people off map but no luck. Or does anyone know someone else that may be willing to help?

Omega General Help / Replacement Wheels?

« on: 28 January 2009, 22:12:25 »

Odd question but looking to scap an omega (premini) and wondering what steel wheels will fit? Reason is both omegas have decent tyres (NCT5's) both with lot of tread and alloys are in decent nice condition.

Just wondering would steel ones off say an old vectra work?

Omega General Help / Re: ATF again!!

There isnt a emptying plug on the auto box iirc

Omega General Help / Re: ATF again!!

« on: 28 January 2009, 18:00:20 »

£100 isnt much realistically due to the cost of ATF and gaskets.

IIRC Fluid is ~£6 a litre upwards and needs ~7 litres so thats £40+ there + Gaskets + Labour

If its an auto, I'd recommend taking the gearbox out with the engine - trying to realign the engine onto an autobox attached to the car is a right bastard.

Easier that trying to line up clutch splines in my case -just got the angle right (jacked the box right up to the body and she slipped straight in (ooh err missus!!).  Getting the bellhousing bolts lined up was a little trickier, but still only took a few minutes.

ste_bla - sorry, can't offer any physical assistance as a) not local and b) spending pretty much all of February abroad working..  Swapping a 4-pot is pretty easy though - with a couple of helping hands, its a day job i reckon with sufficient tea and bacon butties...(hint..)

Thats alright Kev (kpassmore1974) is coming down (a fair distance) to help (aka do ) it for us on sat. Bacon Rolls? Bah Takeaway Chinese

TheBoy just wondering if I could borrow you for 20 mins one night, as just wondering now if the AA man was right about the diagnosis of the broken bottom end. Actually I'll PM you also.

why do you disbelieve the AA man?

any fault codes?

He didnt actually properly look and just towed me as "that sounds really bad mate prob bottom end so will tow you" and a neighbour said he doubt it was bottom end as when his went there was nosie first for a long time and it didnt judder this made a really bad sound all the time.

Paper clip shows nowt and no EML on
