Dollywobbler's Omegawd - Cruisin' (old people can do it too)

[oldcars]

If you go for the nappy, get active fit. 

[gadgetgricey]

Hopefully a bit of common sense will apply (as they know you have been trying to fix it, but have been having issues with the seal)

 

Here's to 12 months MOT, then a slow drive home. Changing your nappy every few miles

[dollywobbler]

I did deploy my pants earlier. They're a bit too worn for reuse anyway. I thought I'd better remove them for the retest...

[Pillock]

I guess it depends whether the fail is the diesel was leaking, or the diesel is ending up on the road.

 

If the latter, a nappy should sort it.

[They_all_do_that_sir]

Nappies are a really good shout!!

Stick a rag under it and just drive it. 

[gadgetgricey]

Stupid question, but with the nappies and velcro.

 

Could you not create a nappy coccon round the pump to absorb the leaks,  but I believe they cant move anything so will have the added bonus of hiding the leak.

 

Would not normally suggest such a "fix", but know you'll get it fixed properly when you get the chance and the correct seal.

[dollywobbler]

YES. That is all. Home time.

Massive respect dollywobbler! I'm so pleased this awesome Omega is being rescued.

[gadgetgricey]

That MOT site is quick, just checked when I posted at 11:21 and was still showing as a fail.

4 mins later its updated as a pass.

 

Utter respect for your and the Omega, have a nice relaxing drive home in leather luxury.

 

Hopefully more pics to follow of it in all its glory.

[rantingYoof]

Oh wow, that's a win and a half! :-D

Get it home and give it a good Pampering 

[Jim Bell]

Three cheers for perseverance and can do attitude.

 

Hip hip etc

[danthecapriman]

Well done DW! Much respect!

 

Have a safe and comfortable waft home. It looks a great car and with some fettling should last a while yet too. Well worth the effort IMHO.

This thread meets the beige standard.

Indeed. I feel somewhat ashamed of myself for being a pussy and having the Volvo recovered home. Must do better I think!

[billyboy406v6]

Soiled nappy for a 2017 Calender shot ?

[Guest Breadvan72]

Big Huggies!

[Cheezey]

Superb. Looking forward to pics.

[Pillock]

You say bodge, we all know in 6 months time when this turns into a for sale thread there'll be a note about "small leak from fuel pump, keep a rag under it".

 

What you mean is you've done a permanent fix.
