Omega B isn't sounding at all healthy. It started making a rather alarming engine noise just after it got back from the auto-electricians having had a new ignition contact(/switch) unit put in.
Had the thought that perhaps something went astray with the wiring and the starter motor wasn't disengaging so took it back they quickly checked and found that wasn't the case. They also had a mechanic around to listen, but he couldn't tell me anything without pulling it to bits. Gently took her home, then had a look myself and found that there is definitely feedback coming through the timing cover on the right cylinder bank. As in, put your hand on it and you can 'feel' the noise its making and certainly sounds like that's where the noise is coming from. Haven't looked any further into it because its going to be more than I can afford to fix anyway.
So.. does anyone want a project/parts car before it goes on trademe/to the wreckers?
217,000km
Wof runs out in the next couple of days
Rego 2/2013
Less than 60k since the last cambelt change and it has had a rebuild at some stage due to a cambelt letting go in the past, would've though it was all fine but apparently not..
Previous owner has caught the bottom of the bumper on something and cracked it (if you look closely you can see glue bottom right of image). Clear coat is lifting on the roof.
Also my wife reversed into another stationary car..
So nothing serious and otherwise all straight
Still drives and runs on all six, but I haven't driven it - except to the workshop and back - to avoid doing any further damage.
