Omega General Help / Door attack

« on: 03 January 2011, 12:34:04 »

Hi,
Ive had an attack on drivers door with probable intention to steal the car. However it being an auto they failed .
The drivers door lock has been pushed inside the door and although I have managed to get the other 3 doors open, I cant get this to operate. Central locking functioning on all 3 doors except the drivers. Its as though the deadblot is in locked position. Inside door handle doesnt respond.
Is it hard to get the interior door panel off with door shut?
And what should I be looking for in terms of something broken or uncoupled?

regards, Andy

Hi guys,
I own a Musso 4 x 4 that died this morning and will cost 1/2 its  value to get it going again. Wasnt prepared to do that so went out to local recomended sales place and saw a lovely automatic CDX V6 saloon which I collect on Tuesday.

I am also into old VW's and just sold on my prized faithful 1972 wizard and have a '78 VW Camper in restoration.

Will probably be popping in from time to time to get info etc.

See ya later,

Andy

General Car Chat / A very hectic week ...

« on: 17 August 2010, 23:09:39 »

Needed all of the following to go right in 5 days to end the week on a high....
1) get car tax sorted
2) look for a caravan
3) buy caravan
4) get towbar for omega to get the caravan home
5) get number plate for the "van
6) sell musso to pay for the caravan
7) find a storage site for caravan in Hoddam Castle and pay for it

easy you think....

Day one- Monday- sorted the car tax paperwork out. Bought caravan said I would collect Friday and pay for it( still havent sold Musso to pay for it) Phoned mobile towbar fitter to arrange fitting.
Day 2 Went for car tax but because it was being changed to disabled they sent the reg doc away. Do I need it for reg plate? Phone Hoddam for a storage site and they have 1 left. Took it.
Day 3 Went for rear reg plate - they will accept owners slip of the reg doc but needs my driving licence??? WTF??Also sold Musso and guy coming Thursday to pay and collect. Towbar fitted at work and working.
Day 4 took driving licence and got reg plate. Musso sold and money accepted.Went to get the caravan a day early  and towed it home.

Day 5 Towed the caravan to Hoddam 90 odd miles in pelting rain but got there safe.

This car is excellent for towing by the way. "van was 1/2 the max weight for the car. never pulled a caravan before and was only scared for the 1st 3 mins.

Class week - everything went to plan.

General Car Chat / Re: What fuel do you use?

« on: 17 August 2010, 23:24:10 »

For the V6 people of course!

Supermarket petrol I am staying clear of, I have just switched to Shell and am a member of the drivers club.
You do have to spend £45,000 before you're eligible for a free 10p mix of sweets but I am convinced there fuel is better and lasts longer!

I have heard that this supermarket fuel has 15% ethanol, which is 12% more than what Shell use.

Whilst on the subject of fuel, does anyone run their diesel omega on cooking oil? 

Also considering an LPG conversion, saw it advertised for £900 in one day, I think that's the best offer I have seen so far.

Where was the advert mate Im going to LPG it in a couple of months time.
