The plenum is held on by just 4 Torx drive bolts & the bagpipes at the front of the car  ;)

Your call ........... a bit excessive for a £35 valve.

The plenum can stay put for doing a HBV, it's the plastic scuttle tray & wiper arms that need removing.

This fella: http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=5519

Bigyin, if I was any good with the spanners mate, I'd be all too happy to help out, wherever you are?

I've got the sockets, just not the skill, but I'm off Thursday and I'll gladly give it a go if you want, seems like a pretty simple job

Not hard to do.Take plenum (and possibly manifold off) to try to see where water is leaking from.Might be a case of one person blowing hard into the header tank while the other looks for water spurting from somewhere.
Should be plenty of info in the guides section on removing/ refitting plenum. :y

Nope, I've not been in contact with anyone about any problems, or had any texts?

The OP did make contact last night though, so happy to see if I can help.

Bigyin54 - just checked, and you are 53 miles from me.

Would your car make it that far? At what rate is it leaking, and is it pressurising or running hot?

If you could get it to me, I'll take an initial look free of charge, which will include any obvious leaks that can be fixed whilst plenum is off.

Cheers
James
