« on: 25 March 2012, 17:07:24 »
If this has been asked before i apologise now,
so will prefacelift estate rear doorcards fit the facelift estate rear doors or have changes been made to stop this from being done.
I ask this as i have sourced some non rusty doors from a late car and wish to get rid of the rusty pre- F/Lift doors.
Thank you.

Hi all,
i have a question for all you people more knowledgable in Audio Hi Fi.
I own a pair of Vintage Scott floor standing loudspeakers circa 1966-69.
They are 3 way speakers comprising a 10'' sub woofer, 4'' mid range and a 1'' tweeter.
6-8 ohm impedance, 7 watts min input.
The Cabinets are sealed units and access gained by removing the speakers.
The sub woofers have started to rot away and need to be replaced.
I would like to replace the crossovers with more modern items at the same time, Can any body reccomend what subs to buy and which crossovers are best.
Please be warned i have no electronic knowhow at all when it comes to audio etc.
OVER TO YOU GUYS/GIRLS

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / RADIO SUPPRESION NOISE
« on: 19 November 2011, 15:56:10 »
A few months ago i conversed with Dave DND about terrible interferance on the am band on my cdr500 radio in my omega estate, and it was generally thought that because modern cars have so much electrical gizmos it could be anything causing it,
The noise is only made if the wheels are turning and it stops as soon as the wheels cease to rotate, Now the only thing that i can conclude is that the noise is being made by the abs sensor, and i can't think it could be anything else, but you guys may tell me more.
Is there any way that i can suppress the noise and even where the suppresor should be fitted, or is this something that i will have to accept as unfixable, over to you guys, thank you in advance.

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / radio noise.
« on: 11 March 2011, 16:56:44 »
You can call me old fasioned if you like but i like to listen to the am bands on my radio for the football coverage, but when i go to am all i get is loud noise which obliterates the program in the background.
Itdoes not appear to be alternator related as it does not increase with engine revs, BUT it does increase as the car starts to roll forward and stops as soon as ther car stops.
I guess this could be an earthing fault but need to throw it out there to gain some thoughts from oofers. when the ignition is switched off the reception is crystal clear and when the engine is running it is clear as well but as soon as the wheels move the noise returns.

I fitted it to the car and it works without the code being entered, but the display does not show the radio stations or track no,s, is this a display programing error or is it not compatable with my cars display(MID) i think, so can any one help me please, over to you lot, Gary.

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / DnD advice please,
« on: 26 January 2010, 00:59:58 »
Dave, my father has an 02 plate elite with an ncdc 2013 Bose head unit and gid screen with sat nav, the problem is that the cd mag wont eject and a local dealer says that they can supply a new h/u for it and will cost £900. An local ICE dealer has said that they cant repair it as thay have no way of testing it out of the car.
So he is looking at replacing it with something else, what are the options that he has as i am almost sure that for that kinda dosh there must be better to be had. thank you for your time, Gary.

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Another Alarm Problem
« on: 03 January 2010, 18:51:52 »
Hi there all, good new year to you all,
My father has a 52 plate 3.2 elite Saloon and has recently started having problems with the alarm going off when he has got in the car and closed the door. Could this be the power sounder as he has checked for the bonnet sensor being bent down. thank you in advance,
Gary.

Omega General Help / COOLANT LEAK.
« on: 13 March 2011, 01:14:12 »
I went yesterday the have a look at an R reg cdx with a coolant leak for a freind of my dads, in bognor.
the owner was having to top up the cooland bottle withappreox 1/2 litre of coolant every week, and has been for about 2 mnths.
I stripped off the plenium and intake manifold and sandwich plate to take a look at the oil cooler plate, for a poss leak there
Found nothing conclusive there although the area just below the coolant bridge was slightly damp.
On inspection the only thing i found was a slight weep from the coolant hose from the HBV to coolant bridge.
I removed the hose and cleaned the bridge connection and checked the hose for splits and found hose ok.
Whilst there i checked the HBV and found the valve to be compleatly dry and showing no signs of leaking.
Heres hoping the coolant hose was causing
the dampness and coolant loss. Alsoi am positive the drivers side zorst manifold is cracked as it quitens down when hot but is evident when you blip the throttle.
If gasket would it dissapear compleatly WHEN HOT?
Advice please. :-?
