Omega General Help / guessing game

« on: 12 June 2009, 17:34:38 »

As stated in a previous thread I thought i had "blocked breather misfire syndrome "
 plugs now changed and all engine sensor connections cleaned = car running clean and quick for about 10 minutes
Misfire back with a vengance  mechanic  says it could now be one of the Lambda sensors or a blocked cat as one cat hot one stone cold
Any Ideas  car is a w reg 2.5 v6 on 79000 miles auto

problem is i wouldn't even know where to start to fix it
I have no tools to do it and a budget of £0 to be honest

Omega General Help / misfire woes

« on: 08 June 2009, 19:41:47 »

My mig decided to start misfireing today
looking at the engine drivers side bank plug 1 and 2  are filled with oil
i presume its blocked oil pipe causing pressure to blow the cam cover gaskets
how much is a fix on this ?
I'm kind of thinking i'll take sensible offers to take it off my hands
its a 2.5 v6 w reg with just shy of 80,000 on the clock

Omega General Help / service .. is my chain being pulled

« on: 04 February 2009, 18:22:48 »

I took my 2.5 v6 gls for a service yesterday and when i left the spanner monkey said they hadn't checked the auto box as its a sealed unit with no top up facility on it
I dont belive him can anyone on her tell me the truth and if possible show pictures of where the fill port is on the box so i can head back over there and get the service i paid for

Omega General Help / 2.5 v6 auto Brake upgrade

« on: 27 January 2009, 13:26:04 »

I've got a w reg 2.5 gls,
now its my first auto after 16 years of driving and my style is still quite late and hard on the brakes
I was wondering what brakes anyone is running  
I was thinking grooved ebc discs with greenstuff pads ?
