Nice result mate.
Have to admit, MOTs always worry me. Even though I do about the same mileage as you.

I can feel your relief…!!

Yes. Spot on. It doesn’t connect to that valve. It just pops down into the gap in front of that shiny coolant transfer pipe.

Seemed odd to me at the time but…

Well, unless I’m corrected by someone more knowledgeable I’d say that’s the same one.

Seems to come from left (passenger) side of the transmission, hoops over the back of the engine towards the drivers side then seems to go down to nowhere.

No evidence of a pipe clip, hose connection or anything. Just seemed to tuck away at the back of the  engine. I was informed that it’s an auto transmission breather pipe.

Is this auto transmission ??

Just tried on another computer and your image just shows as a black & white ‘no entry’ sign.

I ask that question because I can’t see your image in the post.

Does it look like this?? No evidence of a pipe clip or clamp etc. ?



I posted a similar question a while back on my clattery noise topic and mine turned out to be a breather pipe from the transmission. Just a thought…

Car Parts, bits For Sale & Wanted / F/S Omega Roof Box Kit
« on: 03 November 2025, 15:58:32 »
OK, it's not specific to an Omega, but the shape of the box looks great on an Omega Estate, so...

FAPA Alto 460 roof box.
Top quality piece of kit (not flimsy nonsense), with instructions, roof bar brackets, keys, load securing net, garage roof storage straps and brackets. Gas struts have lost most of their strength now, apart from that it's in great condition, having only been used maybe 4 or 5 times. You will of course need roof bars to mount the box to.
External 1940mm long x 780mm wide x 370mm high.
Internal about 1840mm long x 700mm wide x 335mm high.
Capacity is 460 litres.
£100





Thule 853-2341-01 Roof Bars (x2).
Includes 755 foot pack. Overall length approx 1040mm
Usable rail width is approx 830mm to 980mm. With instructions and keys.
Used on my estate with 940mm wide roof rails.
£40 the pair.






Thule FreeRide 530 roof mounted bike carriers (x2).
For carrying bikes in an upright position. Length approx. 1460mm, max. width approx 210mm. With instructions and keys. Needs roof bars.
£40 the pair.








We're not going to use these again at our age, so someone else should be able to get some use out of the kit...!

Welcome to the forum. Tell you what lad, if you want to repair, maintain, or do anything else to your Omega, you’re in the right place here.

Been massive help to me. All the best with your Omega.

P.S. Nothing wrong with champagne. Was my first Elite colour…!!

General Car Chat / Re: So what have you done to your car today?

Blimey! The Signum…
I remember that being on the Company Car list. Folks couldn’t work out what it thought it was. Hatchback, saloon, estate?
Most gave it a wide berth, and by the looks of it many others did - only in production for a short while.  (5 years?)

Another one that comes to mind was the Sintra van. An even shorter run if I remember. Only one guy opted for it. Probably because he had 5 kids…

Peut-être, mais malheureusement je n'ai pas beaucoup de cheveux pour être blessé !!

I think we may have exhausted the beer jokes.

Hope you can see the strength on it…(9.0%)  :D
