Omega General Help / key fob in the wash
« on: 25 February 2019, 20:19:52 »
Managed to leave my key [3 BUTTON TYPE} in my overalls and they got washed at the cleaners. Happy to see it again after massive house search but wont function remotely any more. Its dry inside and tried new battery. I can open doors using keyhole and then start car to stop alarm . So chip still works ,but is there a way of fixing remote part or replacing that part without new programming?
thanks for any help Paul

Omega General Help / heater fan push switches on main dash panel
« on: 04 January 2019, 20:24:53 »
Hello i have an issue with the fan switch area on my 2002 elite 2.6 which became kind of sticky. i attempted to clean off the stickyness with spray dash cleaner but ended up taking the black off the small fan control switches and the other two switches on that panel.
I would need to replace the whole panel which includes boot release and rearblind amongst other things.
my question is how easy is it to replace the panel(the one that surrounds the stereo)and can i get hold of a used one ?
thanks for help

General Discussion Area / Top 10 future classics in decline
« on: 01 September 2018, 21:17:15 »
Reading the latest issue of practical classics the Omega came in at number 5 in the above list:
It stated :number on the road first quarter 2016 = 10,197
number on the road first quarter 2018 = 5,213
A 48.9 % decline at this rate Omegas won't even reach classic status ! Is it rust killing them or just running costs?
Its quite a rapid rate
They might not all have been scrapped some could be sorned.
