Hi on my way home from work this morning the temperature suddenly when right up and the warning light came on as I was on a dual carageway with no where to stop put in neutral and started to coast the temp then dropped and light went off so up in drive again and sure enough the temp started to rise again. ?? so did this to get me home Checked water and oil when it had cooled down and found nothing wrong. Any ideas ??
Always disconnect negative side of the battery as it just depends on where the alternator rotor has stopped you may be unlucky and it will damage the rectifyer if in the wrong place.
watch out when removing and fitting the electrical conecting plugs as you can easily bend the conectors or push the socket into the gearbox (especially if the plastic on the socket as gone fragile)
don't need a facebook account to view that link. tis a public link silly me didnt try bending it though and have now discovered is a cam cover seal... duh!!!!
hi all just removed sump on my v6 to clean pick up pipe as i have had oil light comin on when warm and found a washer with four indentation on the edges in the sump anyone got any ideas what it could have come off http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=202355&id=757234280&l=38d376b37a
Third omega v6 I have had each one at some point I have needed to change the head gaskets may be running on lpg causing the problems or just the mileage I do each car has been over 150 thou. (always at the speed limit )
going to try and see if they fit as being multi layered steel they will act like the uprated ones you can get for k series rover engines .As driving hard for 70 miles a day means head gaskets only seam to last 12 months (running on gas as well.)
Hi can anyone tell me if there is any difference between a 2.5 and a 2.6 cylinder head gasket ? Also my 2000 2.5 omega as started used lots of oil (no leaks) but oil light started to come on went warm on tick over but goes out if revs increased slightly any ideas ?
