hi there
I'm a newbie to this so please bear with me.
I've bitten the bullet and bout a 2001 omega elite, the 2.6, and have not even had the chance to enjoy it yet due to having a few problems with it the minute cash changed hands. The joys of buying from an auction. Here goes,
I got up this morning to hear what sounded like a fan constantly running so chose to leave the car at home not wanting it to break down. When I got back the battery was completely dead. Upon investigating I found that removing fuse 27 killed the noise. I believe this is to do with the self levelling. Any ideas why this is running constantly? I tried finding a relay for it but had no joy as I cannot locate a diagram with a layout of the in cabin relays. Also I didn't get any pass code or wallet with the car so I haven't got the code for the radio. It's a CCR-2006. Is there a cheap way of getting the code? Failing this can I use an aftermarket system with the Bose system? I have read differences of opinion, some saying yes others saying no. Sorry this is a bit long winded, any help will be greatly appreciated

Get a replacement carpass from Vauxhall, (which will have the code on it) for about £25 IIRC. You will need the code every time the battery is disconnected.

Someone will be along shortly to advise on self levelling.......

Only if you haven`t "disabled" it

F27 could be a number of things. Was the noise coming from in front of OSF wheel, or in the cabin, or from the rads?

For radio, ring around a few dealers for carpass. To replace, you need to replace radio, amp and speakers all at the same time.

The noise was coming from the OSF wheel under the bonnet

Many thanks for that, it was very informative

If struggling with the code, I can do this for you, but the radio needs to be sent to me
