Hi,

I suspect rear O/S wheel bearing is grumbling.  Above 20 mph get a grumble, and goes if take a right hand corner.

They have never been done so probably time they were changed.

Car is a 2.5V6 manual, V Plate Mini Facelift, SALOON.

I have had look at the guide and I think best somebody who has done a few and has the right tools best I think.

Any advice or recommendations as to whom could assist in Wirral/North West ??

I would change and put new rear Discs on as well, and new handbrake shoes.

Any recommendation as to decent bearing ?  I believe Saloon has different size ????  Want to make sure I get the right one :)

Thanks in advance.

Andy.

Omega Gallery / MOT PASSED :) Scrubs up well.
« on: 14 November 2022, 21:20:54 »
She passed  :y
69k now.  Must take it easy  :o
V6 Manual, had from new  :y
1st advisory for several year, slight play on LH Inner track rod.  Ordered a full set of both sides from Autodoc while in stock and reasonable price, so can fit at some point if needed if my 1k miles a year wears it out  ;D

Happy days.

All tucked up back inside now poor baby  :D

Omega General Help / Drivers Grab Handle cover - Part number
« on: 15 August 2022, 17:39:31 »
Hi,

I am looking for the part number for the Drivers rubber cover / molding which clips into the grab handle - Black, and/or where best to get ?  If the are available ?

I found one part number, but it was Beige  (90433810) :'( but I want black.

Are the Front and Back rear door pull handle inserts the same ? (trim differs, but not sure if the insert is the same ?

Thanks in advance.

Hi there.

Noticed yesterday that the little black plastic thing you pull up with fingers on my Omega is broke in the middle thin bit.  Its a Manual Transmission.

It engages reverse OK, but appears it come away in the thin but under where fingers sit to engage about a fingers thickness down the shaft - This is thin but where it then widens again before on the Gaiter boot where that then sits.

Works OK.  Can the plastic lifter thing be replaced ? Is it easy ?  Can get Original Part ?  I assume would also need a new knob as well - Again can get original one ?

Looks like it may glue OK, but wanted to see if replacement was easy and doable.

Thanks in advance.

Andy.

Well the Opel (if you look at the Grille as I put a new one on  ;D - LOL) flew trough MOT, no advisories and nothing to watch out for as had a good chat to MOT fella.

Happy days and 67k on clock now  :D - 1,300 miles this year in her and treated her to a tank of Shell Optimax  :y as I hear mixed stuff on the E10, and she does sit for a few weeks in the garage all tucked up so a tank of Optimax 99Ron should be all reet and probably runs better on it :y

Well chuffed. :y

Hi,

I have a Front bumper for a Pre or Mini facelift Omega (with fog light holes so NOT a GLS LOL)

Its in good condition.  Are they worth Selling ?, just Bin it ? or does anybody need one ?

I got it a few years ago as needed a fog light  :D

Also have the reinforcing bar with it (or Iron Girder  :D).

Omega Gallery / The old Girl passed, NO advisories again :)
« on: 13 November 2020, 18:38:02 »
The Old girl passed MOT again, no advisories other than the MOT chap saying my word that's clean  :D - we all had a look at her  :y

All tucked up again inside now.

My Dads Y plate 2.2 Auto Petrol is looking for a new home.

We got her MOT'ed but needs some welding.  Not an issue to I believe (we even got a quote), but my dad is 80, health not good, so he has painfully decided to hang up (for the time being) his Omega Boots  :'(

Some highlights:
  • Cruise control fitted
  • Rocker cover gasket done (Genuine GM)
  • New Pads - Front and rear recently (Genuine GM)
  • Stainless Steel Exhaust
  • Oil and filter change recently as well
  • 86k on the clock
  • Towbar fitted - He had a little box trailer so no heavy Caravan
  • MOT I believe is 'valid' till 16h Nov on system
  • Autobox is sweet as a nut

As said, she will need some welding done.  MOT items to address were:

  • welding - subframe mounting welding
  • welding - near rear spring mounting
  • Headlight aim - Lenses need another polish - not that bad as I did them a couple of years ago but I suspect they just need another go over
  • Needs a couple new tyres
  • New wiper blade !

There were some other in relation brake pipes and a bush but not a failure.

Its a shame as my dad has enjoyed the car but time get rid now unfortunately. 

I am sure somebody could get her up to scratch, but unfortunately my dad being 80 has admitted to me today that he can't see him using the car even if he had it sorted (which otherwise he would have had done).

Typically done 1,000 a year, and last couple of years only a few hundred miles in the year, just 100 this last year  :'(

If anybody is interested, then let me know else it looks like she is destined for the great breakers in the sky :(

No idea what she is 'Worth', not much probably but seems a shame to terminate her just yet  :'(

If interested, let me know.

Andy.

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Keyfob buttons not working :(
« on: 13 September 2020, 17:05:48 »
Hi all,

Visted my dad the yesterday and the keybob (all buttons) do not work on his 2.2 Petrol Auto (Y PLate) on one of his keys.

I put a new CR2032 battery in and still nothing.  All appeared OK inside.

I did recall that you had to turn ignition on and press and hold a button on the Fob ?  I tried that but still no banana  :(

Any thoughts.  Key starts car OK, just no buttons work.  The Spare key is all OK.

Thanks in advance.

Andy.

Hi all.

Went to visit my dad and gave his Desmond (Y Plate Facelift 2.2 Auto Petrol) a once over and bit of an "Italian Tune up" as not used for months.

All was ok but when checked all windows rear drivers one came down half way then stopped and would not go up or down.  Bit of a clunk then now move at all !!!! :-[

I can hear the motor when press up and down ??  Am I correct that something has come disconnected from the bottom of the Glass inside ??

I managed to push, pull the window back shut.

Any advice gratefully recieved, and if rear door card easy to remove ??

My MFL V6 Had a nice run there and back  :y  I still prefer my MFL and the V6 :) but and advice on the window I can hopefully fix it for him next time I go there.

Cheers again,
Andy.

Hi there,

I am trying to help somebody with a battery issue on a 2016 Skoda Fabia Monte Carlo.

On looking in the engine bay, I note there is a small plastic module with a small sensor/monitor wire plugged into it.  Lead disappears into the loom.  Main battery negative is then bolted to body just by the battery.

Does anyone know what the small module and wire is on the battery wire at the negative terminal end, and what the little wire plugged in is monitoring ?

I am curious. If Google part number 1K0915181H then that shows a picture  :y
