yup wayne im with you mate, you are right to be cautious going into the unknown, its the same as anything, its called "learning", we all have to start somewhere as nobody on here was born with a spanner in their hands, anyhow before you know it & a bit of confidence youll tackle anything your miggy wants to throw at you,,,, good luck mate

[jjleonard]

Agree with the posts above. I've read this thread with interest, and whilst wayne has appeared, in some instances, to be a bit panicky, it's absolutely understandable given his self confessed lack of knowledge about cars.

He has established, through the advice given here, that he has a problem with his HBV, rather than a head gasket problem; that knowledge alone has probably saved him hundreds of pounds of garage costs.

Some of our posters appear to have forgotten that this forum, and the General Help section in particular, exist to help Omega owners with their car problems. Personally, if I can't constructively contribute to a thread, then I won't post in it.

I'm well aware that I'm utterly contradicting myself here, so i'll shut up now.

I'm glad you have got to the bottom of your problem, or at least you think you have.
Hopefully this will have saved you some money.
As far as some of our other members go, i can't speak for everyone.
All i know is some of our members have started to take it upon themselves to sound a little above other users, just because they have got lots of knowledge, but everybody has to start somewhere.
This site is starting to get overly bitchy, i don't know how it all starts, and i don't know want to know why.
All i do want to know, is that when i'm in this situation there will be somebody on here that can help me.
Otherwise what is the point of being a member on this forum?

Hi Wayne!

This last post I recommend you place into "General Chat" as a new thread, not as a continuation of the old one.

More people will read it then! 8-) 8-) 8-) 8-)

i just read all the 14 pages of this riveting stuff.......ps might try to catch u in the walkabout in barnsley wayne..but can't help with your car cause i'm mechnicly useless as well

[Toponetoe]

LOOK, Why dont you go but a hbv relay and a hbv valve and go to the village idiot mechanic, get him to fit your parts, check for a water leak( surely BMW minis have them) and then drive your car as normal and lose headless chicken mode,,,, Job Done

looks i have upset Mark, sorry mate!
im not running round like a headless chicken now! honest!

i bought some VX Red Coolant today and topped my car up this morning, it had dropped down about quarter of a pint, slightly more, no leaks anywhere..... maybe it was just settling itself from when i done the coolant change yesterday?
also topped up the oil with some 10W 40
put about 3 quarters of a litre in it

i also took some pics of the oil filler and cap, no sludge as you can see

Not entirely sure why someone should use only his fourth ever post, and his first since last December, to launch a rather aggressive attack on Wayne based on a post sent nearly three weeks ago when the problem has already been diagnosed, a fix prescribed, any previous tendencies towards headlessness quelled, and everyone has moved on.  :-?
