It is wet clutch, and doesn't slip. The oil spec is correct, and works well. Oil in ZX-10 gets changed every 2 - 3k as well (Kawasaki recommend 4k). The only bike I've had that needed a specific oil was an old Yamaha

Vx own brand semi for me. Goes in the Omega, the Rover, the ZX-10 and the lawn mower. No wonder I always have gallons of the stuff around....

I think MkII trannies were made up to around B reg (1984), not quite sure when they started...

Gutted to hear. Hope it turns up, and still in one piece. I guess the ol' bill are just giving lip service, or are they trying?

For such a large barge, the Omega is quite happy to be thrown around a bit...

I seam to recall you wheel spinning my 2.2 off the line Jamie, so its not that underpowered!

Didn't think it had a wheelspin in it...

Must be those rock hard tyres - they were a little 'slippery' around that little S bend 1/2 mile down the road

Way too expensive. I think this is the 2.0dti used in Zafira/Vectra etc. Probably not quite powerful enough for Omega. But then, nor is the 2.0/2.2 petrol lump

No, I don't need. Sell it to cover cost of proper stalk. At least we know you only need stalk, and that we got ecu enabled eventually...

get yourself a decent stalk for your facelift....

I really like that Diesel one you gave me, it has a nice soft touch for indicating and all its main functions work. I take it there is no point trying to make it work for a petrol?

Nope, it would mean stripping the stalk completely, taking out resistor network etc. Sell it on fleabay - the diesell stalks aren't as common. (Buyer may need to get cruise enabled in ECU - never checked a diesel to see if preenabled or not)

I would leave cruise on personally. If you get the seats working, I would put the proper mirror back on as well (they are only £10 - £20 from ebay - theres one on there BIN £19.99)
