General Car Chat / Life Has Moved On and the Omega Has to Go

« on: 26 April 2018, 13:54:14 »

 
The 21st Century is a ...busy place and time was never plentiful enough.

My Omega has been parked on the drive for a couple of years (needing a little doing) but "Senior Management" and other pressures on the space are forcing removal.  I've had it 18 years and though I've driven all sorts of cars all over the world, nothing comes close to the perfection achieved in the Omega.
Though I haven't posed on here for quite some time, I have to say this is an excellent forum with a great collection of helpful and knowledgeable members.  A very big thanks to all for the excellent help and support that I received whenever I needed it.  You never let me down!
All the best,

Martin

General Car Chat / Endangered Species?

« on: 23 December 2013, 13:50:06 »

Would anyone concur with my observation that there far fewer Migs on the road now at the end of 2013 than about a year or so ago?  Still plenty of us on here it seems but I am getting a bit lonely on the road...

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Alternator

« on: 21 December 2013, 20:33:05 »

Hello All,

As its raining again; to save me a soaking I thought I'd ask if the spec for my '98 2.5 Petrol Omega Altenator is a simple matter.  I looked on OSP website and it seemed there could be a few options.  Can anyone offer advice to save me getting the flu for Christmas?

Mant thanks,

Martin

« on: 28 October 2012, 15:09:48 »

Hi All,

I know this is in the wrong place but as I've learned befor, I don't have enough posts to use the FS/WTD section...

Anyone got a pair of Head Lamps for MFL (98) Omega by any chance?  N/S is most critical.  Even if they're a bit yellowish, the need is great!

I'm in the Birmingham airport region and can manage a bit of traveling.

MAny thanks,

Omega General Help / Oil Smoke!!!!!

« on: 09 May 2011, 10:28:23 »

Hi All,

I've done 6K since rebuilding the top end of 2.5 V6.  (new seals and everything) Every thing is superb but I recon I've got oil breather problems.  I noticed in the sunshine this morning that after about 10 minutes idling with the engine warmed, it was producing a bit of blue smoke (in the mirror) when throttled.

I hope nothing more serious to worry about.  Any thoughts what to check/overhall/change?

Many thanks,

Omega General Help / Dash Info Display

« on: 15 January 2011, 17:17:48 »

I'm sure a few years ago I read a thread discussing the dash display but can't find anything now.  My Mig is mini facelift 98 with the led type display.  It's starting to give up in that various of the lights either flicker or don't light at all.

Any fixes for this or failing that is it easily replacable?

Cheers Gents!

Omega General Help / H1 ?

« on: 07 November 2010, 16:29:49 »

Evening all... Now that I've got yhe mig back on the road (hurray - [off since about may '07]) I'm reminded how POOR the dipped beam projectors are.  Osram night braekers seem to be a reasonable solution but can I just confirm the the fitting I require is H1, for a '98 mini-facelift with projectors?

Many thanks

Omega General Help / Tech2?

« on: 23 January 2010, 15:12:51 »

Anyone got Tech2 capability near Birmingham Airport?  I've got a bit of a misfire particularly under load on 2.5V6.  I strongly suspect electrical.  (Diss Pack, I don't think leads, what about timing of injection??) Fault code says wrong timing signal.  New crank sensor made no difference.  Can be idled above 2.5K generally OK but doesn't like hard throttle and low idle is always on 5 pots!  Would Tech2 pinpoint the fault before I go and buy loads of stuff I don't need?

Cheers,

Martin
