Hi all.

Firstly, does anyone know if its possible to get a replacement washer for an coolant expansion tank cap? My flat rubber washer has split and doesn't provide a particularly good seal unless you really welly it up tight. I know I could go to a MD and get the whole thing but there is nowt wrong with the tank and cap so see no point on spending 40 to 50 quid on a complete new tank.

Secondly, I have just fitted a new oil cooler, thermostat, stat housing and transfer pipe. Everything is fine as it should be, however since putting it all back together my service light has come on. I think its the service light? Its the one with a car and a spanner through it vertically, amber in colour.

Anyone have any ideas why this should happen?

Like I said, all is as it should be or at least seems to be...................

Cheers

Left something unplugged. Check the rear muti-ram connector

I'm sorry fella but you've lost me there

Thanks for that, i'll have to take a look tomorrow.

Out of curiosity, I know a bloke who has the diagnostics unit that plugs in under the steering column. Would that give a deffinate answer as to why this light has come on? He charges a modest £15.00 to runa check on the system but if its inconclusive then there is no point.

Thanks everyone btw for the input

Save yourself £15 and do the "pedal test" http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/index.php?topic=90581.0

It would almost be quicker to get your hand around the back of the plenum to check the multiram connecter than get a diagnostic reader plugged in

Pedal test is cheaper.

However, if ever you get to Brackley, I have the proper diags kit for it, or with a bit of planning, get to Bletchley one weekday lunchtime

[Joiner]

Again, thanks everyone!

Like the pedal trick, deffo cheaper than getting my mate involved

Anyway, is there a comprehensive list on OOF for the code meanings?

I have performed the test now and got three fault codes.

10 3 10 10
10 3 10 1
10 3 3 10

Looks like I still have things to sort out

Sure that 3rd one is right?

First 2 are misfire related.

I'm breaking my 2.5 omega. You can have the expansion bottle cap for the price of postage if it's any good to you? (sorry mods, I know I'm not supposed to be selling stuff with a low post count but I'm actually giving it away)

Deffinately, checked and rechecked and all three readings are 100% correct.

Cheers buddy, very generous of you but I have since bought one from Ebay for a couple of quid. Thanks again though mate.
