yippy my omega is running and with the gamble i took with second hand gearbox and is running cool with nice smooth gear changes,, how ever i took it to get the mot done and failed on welding needed, i never had to get a car welded so im curious of what this is going to cost     here is what mot failure sheet says ,,.,.,.,.,.,NEARSIDE FRONT (CLOSE TO STEERING ARM MOUNTING POINT) STEERING COMPONENT MOUNTING PRESCRIBED IS EXESSIVELEY CORRODED [2.2.C.1G ]   ANY IDEAS ON COST IS IT BIG JOB ECT   THANKS STEVE

[sparkyw666.]

it really depends on how bad it is . Could range between £40 to £100 if its that bad then you really will have problems :-(

[steve78]

just was not ment to be 

[sparkyw666.]

if you can get a photo of it then we can tell if its bad or not . It should be marked on the car. Ie a yellow circle but not always

[steve78]

yeah it was marked with yellow and not big but kinda medium,,, its in garage so she be on road soon, mechanic says 160 to 170       but i really cant be arsed to mess about no more it starting to get depressing lol

[sparkyw666.]

wow mate 160 that is steep . Make sure you underseal it once its done save it rotten . It will all be worth it when its on the road

[Shallow Al]

Anyway, well done Steve, you gave it a good go and fixed what you set out to do.
Top Man.

[steve78]

yeah i must say i did get a sense of acheivment when i first put her into drive when i changed the gearbox and it moved lol so yes i am chuffed with my amature mechanical skills, well i hope to pick it up any min now and the welder did say he was going to seal it with underseal,, tax her tomoz and enjoy the life of driving lazy in a automatic hehe 

[sparkyw666.]
