Omega General Help / NCDC2013 a question for the boffins

« on: 23 February 2024, 18:34:51 »

Hi Guys
I have managed to reacquire my Miggy after having serious sellers remorse only took 4 years but I have her back a few gremlins have crept in two which are niggling me are on the Head unit
it wont take a date does the time no issue but every time I set the date it defaults back to 1 Dec 2004 silly but it is annoying when it comes up on the display
the second is a pain someone tried to remove the head unit from the car without the right keys and pulled the plastic facia plate away from the head and damaged some of the clips so it does not line up right and all input has to be via the steering wheel controls any one know of a head unit repair guru or maybe a dead head unit I can work with

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Key programming

« on: 08 February 2022, 14:49:19 »

Hi Guys
I have just got my Omega back sold it as I could not afford the fuel with the mileage I was doing now retired so I can and she was for sale so got her back. Problem only one key and that was ropey so the stealers say keys fobs of Omegas are now a non serviced item. But they gave me a source in London who have original GM stock keys and fobs not cheap [KLCK.Ltd]
But they dont program them so is there a Tech 2 master in the Saltburn/Redcar area who could reprogram my new fob for me.
its the 3 button remote for a 3.2 Elite saloon
cheers Richard

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Sat Nav help needed

« on: 24 July 2016, 22:09:16 »

Hi All
I have a 2001 51 plate 3.2 Elite saloon which has been behaving fine until the last couple of days the sat nav has been showing a problem its lost I live in Bromley Kent and the Satnav thinks it's in Sutton Coalfield hence no sat nav its using a proper disc  and has worked fine up till this happened anyone have any idea what its done
If it helps the disc ejects fine. Sat nav accepts destinations can still see previous and stored destinations it just says in the case of my home that I'm 79miles away when I'm
sitting on my drive way.
and to top it all I'm about to need it as I'm off across the country in two weeks time
Help!!
Cheers

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / One head light fails to rise and the dread warning in the HID

« on: 13 January 2016, 00:11:02 »

Hi Guys
I just want some advice the Miggy has decided its time to give my wallet another bashing I have a 51 plate 3.2 Elite saloon [and I love It] I have the dread beam warning on start up  and it seems that the drivers side headlight has ED in English it no longer rises as required leaving the drives side pointing down there is no sign of flutter or judder as in the light flopping around as some have described so that's the state of play now the question is it the damm bit of plastic which has failed or do I suspect the motor which drives it.
I have ruled out the sensors being at fault as the other side behaves properly is there a way which I can see or check which it is without dismantling half the car to get the light out
I'm being cautious and asking for advice as old age has caught up with me somewhat and the days of working under a car are gone I can still get down there but now I would need the engine hoist to get me back up.
As always your comments [the printable ones] are always welcome as is the advice
Warm regards to all
