Things I need to brush up on
« on: 31 January 2008, 12:12:46 »

I would probably consider myself to be an amatuer mechanic when it comes to the omega, but there is some knowledge I rekon I need to improve.

To be specific, I could do with brushing up my skills on:

1) Climate systems. I don't know much about how climate works and
    what the vacs operate, etc.

2) Brakes. I could do with doing a few fluid changes, and rear handbrake service.

3) Suspension. Could do with more practice with wishbones. Also would like to have a go under supervision at doing springs/shocks.

I'd also like to have a stab at a wheel bearing.

Additionally, I must have a go at a thrust washer too next time I've got an AR35 out of a car.

i need experience on everything on the omega, i've only done the cam cover gaskets, breathers and a pair of droplinks.

i'm more used to astras.

you're are braver man than me james, i wouldn't fancy getting the gearbox off my car.

I think you grossly underestimate yourself James! Some of the jobs you get stuck into are quite outstanding. :y
