Is the sensor replaceable or is it integral  with bottle?

Omega General Help / Re: windscreen

Doesn't sound a bad price. I had a screen replaced on my '96 elite and they had a hell of a job getting the outer trim/rubber seal to fit properly afterwards, so make sure its all to your satisfaction when completed.

Thanks for the useful tips guys. I will start with the condenser and receiver dryer and hope the compressor seals are ok.

Omega General Help / Air Con faults

« on: 17 March 2007, 12:14:27 »

The air con on my 97 elite hasn't worked since I got the car, I have assumed that this is due to lack pressure  or no refrigerant in the system. My reasoning behind this is that when under the front of the car changing the oil I noticed that the frame at base of condenser was detached at one side, so I have assumed the condenser leaks. I am going to replace the condenser first but I wanted to canvas opinion on what else I should or can check before taking it to an aircon specialist for regassing. Any input will be much appreciated.

Omega General Help / Re: Q s re cam followers

« on: 17 March 2007, 14:31:12 »

I've got the same issue but I think mine is EM gasket, when I kneel near the offside front wheel I can hear the tapping from under the car and it seems more pronounced.


Can cam followers be done without removing head (just taking cams out?)

~The small ends on mine all had jubilee clips on, can you not put a jubilee clip on the large end of the pipe?

Omega General Help / Re: Exhaust Manifold leak

« on: 14 February 2007, 13:40:24 »

I think I have the same problem with mine and was wondering how much the manifolds warp and how difficult it is to get them flat? Another question, does any body know how much the manifold gaskets are?

Omega General Help / Re: Spare tyre size

« on: 08 February 2007, 14:26:43 »

Mines a 205/65/15" & looks like it's never been used too....

that works out at virtually the same size as the 225/55R16 that all my other wheels are.

Mine has a 15" spare but I can't remember the tyre size. Think what you've got is what you should have.

Omega General Help / Re: Alloy wheels

With the centre cap ii sounds like the threads are stripped so tapping may not help but its worth a try. Brake pad warning Had the same problem with mine so i just linked the wires together at the plug now MID is clear

Omega General Help / Re: EMERGENCY HELP NEEDED PLEASE

don't think starter solenoid. Solenoid problems would mean no turning over or starter not engaging. Crank sensor is a possiblilty though.

Omega General Help / Re: Omega with a strange problem

« on: 12 December 2006, 20:06:45 »

Hello Everyone,
 
I have a 2.0 16V omega with a strange problem The indicators don't work and the brake lights don't work either, The hazard indicatorS work fine when switched on. I have checked the fuses they all seem fine, I was wondering about the relays but I don't have a manual and I am not very good on this sort of thing, so any help would be really appreciated.  
 
 
Thanks

As said in welcome thread, may be worth checking if hazard switch contacts are ok...

Hazard switch is definitely something to look at. When I changed my centre console the indicators stopped working, it was the hazard switch not latching in the off position properly which disables the indicators

Omega General Help / Re: Engine Temperature + Fans

« on: 08 December 2006, 20:17:45 »

Sounds like the temp I get on mine. Not too sure which fans are running though, but they definitely cool it down.
