Omega General Help / 5/6 speed auto box
« on: 09 November 2018, 23:15:04 »
Apologies if this has been covered before but are there any newer eg 5/6speed auto boxes that will mate easily to the 2.6 v6. Current have a 2.6 v6 auto but the engine seems wasted on the 4 speed auto box. Loving the car bur not sure about the autobox!

https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F352248011797 i was thinking of this one.  Haven't bought a car radio in yrs but when I was in my boy racer days kenwood was the go to make

The steering wheel is standard and has the 6 buttons, if I can program the bottom left button to answer/drop calls that will do for me. Saves any hassle. If I go for a Dab unit will I need to change the aerial as well?

I'm wanting to fit an aftermarket radio to my 03 2.2 dti cdx. Nothing wrong with original radio but I'd like one I can connect phone to for calls and play music through. Should I upgrade the speakers when Im at it? Also is it possible to swap the steering wheel for one that will control the phone and radio? If so what am I looking for and how big of a job is it?

I'd always heard that the 2.5 td were bulletproof and unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any available! I'd been told the 2.2 wasnt as good and that especially the diesel pumps gave problems. Hopefully I've got a decent one, haven't collected it yet but it's one owner from new and it seems to have been well looked after but time will tell. Will mostly be be motorway driving so hopefully won't have too many problems.

Omega General Help / Re: Where have all the 3.2’s gone?
« on: 09 January 2018, 11:47:01 »
I've got a 51 plate  3.2 elite 130k that I could be persuaded to sell if some1 really wants it. Not in any rush to sell it though. Wrong side of the pond for most but I can arrange the boat if cost reflects that. Only thinking of selling as Ive bought a 2.2 diesel and don't fancy paying £300 odd a yr in tax for each of them!

Omega General Help / 1st diesel omega
« on: 09 January 2018, 11:31:00 »
Been looking for a work horse for a while now and after not finding anything that really interested me settled for another omega. This will be my fifth but my 1st diesel. It's a 2.2 cdx, 1 owner and on 100k. I know that the 2.2 engines are prone to problems, is there anything I can do to prolong the engine life? Also I will miss the Bluetooth phone option I have on the saab, has any1 had much luck installing similar to omega. Not really fussed on one those ugly parrot jobbies if I can avoid it! Don't mind changing the radio but I'd like to keep the display and steering wheel buttons working if possible??

Omega General Help / Odd misfire problem
« on: 28 October 2017, 21:19:36 »
Purchased a 3.2 elite recently that had a few problems. Was severely dodgy on the idle but on getting it home and having a good look discovered multiple split vacuum pipes and the plenum was nearly stuffed solid! Managed to get all sorted anyway and only problem I have now is misfire on 1,3 and 5. I've chaged both cam gaskets, new coil packs and new plugs. The only problem I can see is that some1 has broken the little clip on the connector which plugs into the 135 coil pack. Would this be enough to cause misfire and how the heck do I fix it??

General Discussion Area / Re: Omega car cover??
« on: 29 September 2017, 21:50:37 »
Okay guys, thanks for the advice. Seeing as I'm not keeping the car myself and only keeping it until the new owner makes space for it I'll just leave it out without the cover. Didn't think a cover would do as much damage but sounds like I'm better off without it . Thanks.

General Discussion Area / Omega car cover??
« on: 25 September 2017, 07:11:21 »
Need to move one omega out of the garage to get another one in. Can anyone recommend a decent car cover or a link to where I can buy it would be great. I'd prefer some thing that I can tie underneath if possible rather than just the elasticated versions as it's fairly exposed where I live. Tia

Sweet. Thanks guys. I was pretty sure I hadn't missed anything so that's a relief. Was dreading having to take everything apart again!!
