Finally got my Omega 2.5 going again this week. It had been misfiring on two cylinders for a while and then completely refused to start so has been sitting idle since May :-[. So this week I:-

Replaced the DIS Pack (pictures of the old one below);
Cleaned the Breathers, Plenum and Throttle body whilst they were off to do the DIS pack;
Finally fitted the new HBV I bought ages ago;
Fitted a new Crankshaft Sensor; and,
today put some Wynn's Valve lifter cleaner in as it was sounding a bit tappety on start up.

All running nice and smooth now. Paperclip test shows up 3 codes: 13, 73 & 94 but the last one was my fault as I had not replaced the Cam Sensor plug properly so hoping that will dissappear after 20 or so good starts.

Pictures of old DIS pack - no wonder it failed!

Took the heater fan out as sometimes it'd been creaking. Fed up with it. As I have enough time I'll try to sort it out.

  Yesterday and today, gave motor a full service, breathers included, everything OK, apart from the off side wishbone, rear bush rubber has parted company for the centre metal core. Looks as if hole is being gouged out bigger as the wishbone moves.  :'( :'(  Ordered a pair of replacements from AllGermanParts, great service, arrive tomorrow, my job for Friday (with luck). Have read the "How Too" twice already  :y

Fitted Aluminium adjuster to one headlight on the 2.6, now just need it to go a bit darker in order to align it.
