No. Battery is charging in car. So bonnet left open. I think it is just the freezing weather causing the issue. There is plenty of grease on bonnet locker.

Thanks for the advice. A neighbour helped by bouncing on the bonnet, then it opened. Got the battery on charge now, fingers crossed.

The bonnet release doesn’t seem to be pulling the cable far enough. Is there anything else Ican try to open the bonnet? Battery is flat, need to get it out to charge!

Replacement of the bulbs is a mechanic job, due too the voltage?

Heard good things about OSRAM XENARC NIGHT BREAKER LASER D2S. Can anybody confirm if they have used them & they fit Omega? https://www.amazon.co.uk/XENARC-BREAKER-brightness-discharge-66240XNL-HCB/dp/B07FYTN7VF

Omega General Help / Re: Climate control panel, no power.
« on: 07 December 2018, 23:26:42 »
After much checking of relays, and replacing fuses with known working fuses, i bit the bullet and got the climate control panel, from ebay.
It works!
Hot air once again.
I recommend Omegas52 on ebay, item was very well packed and as described. I had a gearbox from him in the past and that was fine.

I’ve had a few bits of him as well. Always approachable if there were any issues.

Omega General Help / Re: Both wipers very slow

Or the mech stiff, causing motor to overheat

More than likely the mech is stiff. I've come across this problem a few times on Omegas, and in one instance had to knock 7 bells of sh1t out of the shaft just to free it, whilst turning it with a 12 inch adjustable spanner - you wouldn't believe how rusted up the shaft was, and I'm amazed that the motor managed to keep it running, albeit slowly.

Back to basics methinks, and forget about the smell, just make sure the spindles are free to turn in their bushings before you go any further. I think I might have mentioned that before  :-X

Cheers. I’ll give it that ago.

I forgot too say, how noisy the mech is in operation compared to my old mech. Maybe, they do just need lubricated. But what with?

If the mech is stiff, is there anything I can spray on the arms & mech?

Thought I’d give high speed setting ago & see how long the wipers lasted. Got 5 minutes, then they stopped. Left the wipers on high speed, they came back after about a minute, worked for a couple of minutes, then stopped again. Could smell an acrid smell in the car afterwards. Do guys think this is definitely pointing to the motor overheating?

Omega General Help / Re: Heated seats
« on: 25 November 2018, 14:15:40 »
It was only the front part of the seat, that was getting hot. Probably best to leave them switched off. As I don’t want a fire!

This is nearly as funny as Terry thinking brake bleed nipples were really being whizzed with an impact wrench!!

For better clarification -
The heated seat element is made up similar to a resistance mat. As it degrades over time, the bit where you sit becomes broken, so even at the lowest setting of 1, the only path left for the current to flow is the least stressed bit under your legs. It doesn't matter which number you select, it will still burn your legs and not heat the rest of the seat. This is normally a good indication there's not much life left in the heated seat.

When it was working, the only heat I felt was under my legs. Thanks for the tip, I’ll just level it switched off. I’m can live without it, I’d rather that then a fire!
Best case scenario is it stops working all together - just like yours. Worst case scenario is the seat catches fire. I hope that helps.
