I still dont know why it dumped a lot of its oil, but I did find the small leak that made it necessary fro regular top ups. It may be that it had run a little low before it overheated and smoked itself.
The leak may be of interest as I fixed it for about 2.50p its a lip seal size of a ten p coin that sits in the side of the box with a selector rod going thru it. It ages since I did it so cant remember all the details but if it is leaking dont be scared off and start scrapping your omega just jack it up and an hour later youd have fishe out the seal and pressed in a new one. If anyone wants further info pls get in touch Ill climb under the car again and describe things better.

You will be advised not to chip until you have replaced the AR25 with an AR35, as the AR25 will not take the increased torque for long. I am a bad example, as I have done 28000 since chipping, and still on the original AR25. However, I now have an AR35 as a standby.

As you are dropping the box anyway, it makes sense to replace it with an AR35.

Hi
I fixed my ar25 in situ, had to do it quick because of  block paved drive.
What difference is there in the mountings prop etc to the ar35 ? or is it straight swap.??
