Omega Electrical and Audio Help / windscreen washer level sender

« on: 24 April 2010, 17:27:57 »

Can someone tell me where abouts exactly this is on the washer bottle please?

   If I take the fromt grill off, the pump is there right in front...easy access, I have tried to feel all round the bottle, but cant feel any wires for the sender.
  According to the haynes, the front bumper has to be removed, is this the only way to get to it?
  It's been reading as empty with the "check" light on for quite some time but this is the first opportunity I've had to have a quick look today.

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / facelift audio etc, etc

« on: 08 May 2010, 14:29:33 »

Couple of questions if someone can help please. First, is the radio aperture a standard double din size, so an aftermarket head unit would fit?, second, I know there has been some discussion before but I can't remember the outcome, is it possible to have the steering wheel controls work with  an aftermarket head unit? If I get the car I want, I'm thinking of one of those large screen(6") double din units with sat nav etc.

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Wndscdreen wash fluid level warning.

« on: 04 February 2010, 15:30:38 »

This came on a couple of days, so yesterday I topped it up expecting the warning to go, but it hasn't done, goes when I re-set, but continues on when I switch ignition on, with "check" still lit.

   Surely it doesn't have to be re-set with diagnostic plug, tech 2 does it?

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Light switch question

« on: 28 November 2009, 18:00:56 »

I'm after a light switch with both front and rear fog light switches, waiting to hear from Ian D about one at the moment, but I have noticed looking at ones on Ebay there is some variety in these swiches, mine is in very good condition but no switch for front fogs, my question is, is it possible to take out the blanking plate and just fit the front fog switch to my light switch?

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Key fobs/locking systems.

« on: 03 December 2009, 07:57:57 »

Am I right in understanding there are two different types of locking system on the Omega's? radio and infra red?
   The reason I ask is my ignition key is a two button with no infra red light, and the spare I got with the car, which is a blank has a litle red round dot on the bottom button, which I'm presuming is a light.
  I'm thinking that the spare  will not work with my car, is that correct? making it pointless to have it cut and programmed.

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Dim headlight?

« on: 25 November 2009, 10:14:25 »

When my car was tested last week, the O/S dip beam was/is dimmer than the other one, quite a lot dimmer actually, he passed it(the light) but it was touch and go.

I had replaced both headlights as the adjusters were broken on the original units, but I kept the original bulbs, those blue ones, they appeared to be identical, but I didn't check the power, just presumed they would be the same.
 Anyone got any idea why one would be dimmer than the other apart from a bulb wattage difference?
 I think it is set corectly for UK driving, but even if it wasn't this should not affect the power of the light surely? They both look clean. Projector lights by the way.

Thanks in advance for all responses and views.

   Also, when we came to swap units, there is a set of wires with multi pin connectors similar to the ones for the radio back there, does anyone know what these are for please?

Omega General Help / Heater/climate control dash part

« on: 25 April 2010, 15:10:54 »

Just wondering if it was possible to change the knob type one (which you turn)(98 mini face lift) for the push button type fitted to the same car model? both the round type if anyone undestands what I mean?

Are they interchangable?

Omega General Help / Window weather strips

« on: 04 February 2010, 15:37:01 »

What are these like to remove and replace? I've got a bit of paintwork touching up/repairing to do on the top of the door at and under the rubber strip.

  On the MK2 MR2 taking these of invariably broke the plastic clips, which are abot £1.75 each, and about 6 per strip. plus, little felt cushions came away as well.

  I'm hoping the Omega ones are better...anybody?

TIA

Omega General Help / Door check strap/bar help please.

« on: 26 December 2009, 15:47:34 »

This is the next job I want to do on the car and I've just had a look and the bar goes into the hole in the door, but there's nothing there to hold the bar. Drivers door by the way.
   I can feel metal round the edges of the hole inside, but there are no screw holes above or below this hole, so how does it fit please? what do I need to replace exactly?

TIA
Ken

Omega General Help / Another key fob question

« on: 11 December 2009, 11:30:29 »

Can someone verify  that the key fobs with the red light are all older type infra red operated and are incompatible with the later radio transponder system please?.

 I bought a replacement of Ebay as a spare, it was the same as mine (no red light) but was broken inside, the seller has sent me another one, identical fob  except this one has the red light, I think I am correct in thinking this will not work with my car?

Omega General Help / V6 air box clips?

« on: 09 December 2009, 16:28:54 »

We serviced the car last saturday, and when we came to put in the new air filter there was only one clip holding it together, and with the new filter fitted it won't close down tightly.

   I went to the dealers today to get new clips, and on the screen it only shows the one I have fitted, none at the back by the inner wing, which is where the air box is not properly seated. Should there be some clips here or how does it fit please? and if it does have other clips, has anyone got some to sell me please?

Has anyone got a diagram of the filter box etc they can post up. so I can see what's what?

Omega General Help / Ignition Key, programming??

« on: 12 November 2009, 16:42:32 »

I got two ignition keys with the car, one fully functioning two button, single press to open on one button, and single press to lock, second press to deadlock on second button, the other key is a two button similar key, but is a blank, and nothing happens when I press the buttons, does this need programming at the dealers? and what do they charge usually? obviously it also needs cutting at a key place.
