Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Alarm going off at night
« on: 28 March 2020, 13:32:36 »
Hi

Just like to publicly thank robbo299 for this:
http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/index.php?topic=90675.0
And the more recent post in this forum.
My alarm started going off at night annoying neighbours, backup battery problem, and I was able to go right to the source and temporarily castrate the old girl (if that's a thing!!!). 02 2.6 CD, abused daily runner, 3 consecutive MOTs, straight through no advisories! 134k miles.
People take the time and trouble to take photos and post etc and they save a lot of head scratching.
Many thanks and hope you are all keeping safe in these times.

Newbie Welcome Area / Here for help and advice
« on: 04 April 2018, 20:20:42 »
Hi All!

Not really a noob, bit old for that. Here for help and advice. 2.6 V6 CD auto 04 plate 130k. Had her about 18 months. VGC except A/C compressor gone and one heated seat doesn't work. Wanted to restore my 22 year old Disco but couldn't afford, so sold her (very sad, I'm still sad, a long term relationship of 19 years). Was offered this, she just goes to work and back about 8 miles. No expense spared on her, shes getting fluffy on the arches. Flew through MOT in August, no work, no advisories. Bit thirsty .. yes. But a nice car, quickish yes, quiet luxury .. yes. She shines up well. Under bonnet very clean, no leaks, nothing. Was running great.

Problem, random misfire, searched your forums, lot of options. codes were 0300, 0302 only for 2 months now 0304. I reckon nearside coil pack (RHD) and change plugs unless you know better. I happened all of a sudden, smooth and then permanent misfire. Don't like randomly changing parts? Whats the best pack vs money? Stop, take out key, wait, restart, problem goes away for a bit? How do you reset ECM as normal GM ... just leave -ve off for 1/2 hour like I am now? Oil looks like olive oil, clean, some scum on filler (lots of short trips and extremely wet weather). But when firing on all cylinders, lsmooth, no power issues etc. Or should I post this in technical?

Other cars, '96 Chevy Z28 (so when I say the Omega is quickish there's some perspective and something called an Astra DTi which is 15 plate, but is actually not bad.

Cheers
Tom
