And what do you mean by the TC being always on and not the other way around? You mean that I would have to turn it off every time I start the car and it won't stay off once I turn the car off?

Dont think your gonna need the TC when you turn the car off.

Funny thing.... I used to think OOF was a place where people came to talk about Omegas.  Now it seems that it's a place where people come to get abuse for wanting to talk about Omegas. 

I agree with you there Sir Tigger, while he might rattle on a bit he's not doing any harm 

I only rattle on because I'm a persistent fellow. I know what I'm after is difficult to find. You have to keep tackling it from different angles to try to crack it and absolutely must keep the motivation up. 

But I thank people such as yourself and the others who still try to help. Very much appreciated.

But why, or why did you change your avatar? It made the whole thread brighter and easier to look at.

No problem

Are there any videos showing the safety of the Omega by the way? Showing the airbags deploying etc? I looked for it but didn't find anything.

This video shows the side airbag. It's not that clear but if you skip to 1.09 it will give you a rough idea. As it's fitted to the seat it will always favour the front seat occupant.

Why dont you just buy a Shell and make it up add the bits as you go along 

If merely retrofitting safety features to the PFL is such a daunting task, I would think what you propose would be close to missing impossible. 

It might actually be easier, as you could get all the right looms in place then....    ....though removing a loom from an Omega without damage is pretty challenging.

I guess speaking from the individual task themselves you are right it would be easier. But I would think looking at it as a whole, starting from scratch would be a lot more time and work.

Surely not. What I meant though is if it stayed off when you re-started the car. But The Boy already cleared it up that TC is re-enabled at every start.

Which actually makes sense, since it's a safety feature. It is also better. From a safety point of view it's better to forget to turn it off then to forget to turn it on IMO.

Thanks for the link. The side airbag also seems quite small.

And another round on the merits or otherwise, especially on V6s, of old-fashioned paper oilfilters.

The guy is trying to thoroughly research a subject before a potential considerable purchase.  Omegas may be throwaway cars here in the UK, but still carry price tag in other countries.

Why not cut the guy some slack? I'm not quite sure why some members are being so hostile - that's not what we're about here

I agree,he's doing no harm at all and is amazingly thick skinned unlike some others here

The frustration stems from the fact that every single thing that is asked in new threads has been addressed repeatedly and in detail in previous threads. The questions have been raised and answered in plain English, so I don't think it's a language issue, more a comprehension one

OP is very quick to nitpick on detail, yet all we are given to work with are words... not a single picture or link of any actual cars, which then raises suspicion as to the authenticity of the OP and what they're hoping to achieve.

Only three or four people know where the OPs IP address is, he pertains to be an expat in Germany, but could just as easily be Daz on a wind up.

That's why Ken left, he felt that somebody, somewhere was taking the piss (actively rather than banter) and he simply wasn't prepared to take it any more.
