Wow so much negativity. Could well be hopeless, Lets hope those same people don't feel they have the right to moan the next time the government slaps on price rise.

Could have kept the cost down even more by fitting a 2.0 exhaust Cat Middle & Back fits straight on. Done it on mine no probs.

I am a fifty +er but my renewals seem to rising quicker than i am able to pull my socks on.

Omega General Help / Re: Wheel nuts working loose??
« on: 30 April 2012, 20:44:44 »Cheerrs guys for the answers,
I didn't use a torque wrench just cracked them hard, wheels are as they came out the factory and no powder coating.
I know from previous experience when some tyrefitter put them on so tght I had a real job to undue , but better safe than sorry I guess.
And Mr Sandune, I think I have been coming on this board long enough now to understand how it works, it may surprise you to know that I have not been sat on my computer day and night waiting for replys to my query but had to go that nasty place called Work!

Hi Holtender had this problem not so long back and till this day can not find the reason behind it, first thought it was the wheel bearing on his way out so bought one and RobG was going to fit it, took it up to him and he found that the wheel nuts were barley on. Rob tightened them and touch wood not happened again but as i already said why this happened god only knows. One suggestion was some one was out to nick them but maybe got disturbed.

« on: 28 April 2012, 19:38:58 »rather `ellTurns out the new one quoted was not electric. Andyc confirmed, £300 odd for new with NO motor. My dealer quoted £250 odd for motor alone.I noticed yesterday, after coincidentally leaving it up all night, that it clicked after retracting. It went up fine, went down fine, just clicked about a second after it re seated.Turns out they aren't that expensive IIRC?i rekon i'll be in the dealers 20mins buying a new one. Bugger thatwell i should 'av known better shouldnt I..... rear blind clicking like a bastward.You're on your own for that "20 minute job"
Wonder why your (presumably motor) keeps failing? That said, I can't vouch for that old one, it was 2nd hand when I got it, had it in the MV6 for about 3yrs before the annoyance with the faulty gearbox (rasping when closing) eventually got the better of me. And I use it a lot. It really annoys people following
A couple of uses with just a click, it then clicked constantly for about 2 seconds until mechanical sympathy maid me put it back up again, and the click stopped. It's stayed up since.
This one came from the Chav, and it was failed when I got it.
Better had then cant believe VX price
