General Car Chat / 0-60 Omega's
« on: 21 August 2013, 21:20:08 »
What is your 0-60mph time in your Omega.. Just curious.. So i can compare. ?

Been trying to find out the true 0-60 times on my Omega's... Next best thing to a rolling road, Well more fun anyway's..

These where done in the exact same pieces of road for the 2.2/3.2 flattish.. Both had "Sports" mode engaged...

Had someone make a few video's so i could check on computer.

Did 2 videos with the 2.2 1st 10.0 Seconds roughly 2nd 11.0 seconds so i would say average 10.5 Sec ? .. It's running 235/45/17 not the 16" it should have...

Did 3 videos with the 3.2 1st 7.0 Seconds roughly 2nd 8.0 Seconds 3rd 6.0 Seconds, Average 7.0/7.5 say...

Presuming I've calculated these correctly, I'm pretty pleased with those figures.. Well not the 2.2 so much.   :)

Omega General Help / I have an A/C question for all OOFers...
« on: 21 August 2013, 06:02:50 »
I have an A/C question for all OOFers to answer, When you use the Air Conditioning on your car do you use Air Recirculation at all ? What's your set up for winter/summer ?

I've never used it to be honest in Auto or Manual mode, I don't even use it in Auto mode either...

Would using Air Recirculation be better for keeping the interior cool in return less strain on the system and better mpg so a win win option OR would it get stuffy on a long journey with the same old air going around ?

Daft question I know but after following the instructions regarding the need to put it in Air Recirculation mode to use this A/C Bomb cleaner got me thinking, Is there a more efficient way to use Air Conditioning...

Thanks, Will be interesting to see the responses to this..  :)

General Discussion Area / Let's play a game

Let's play a game, Run any Youtube video in a browser (won't work on iPhone/iPad). Press pause. Click somewhere outside the video. Type 1980. Defend yourself!

Saw this on another site, By doing the above a mini type game pops up.

Was just searching for something to clean the windscreen properly like IPA and stumbled across this website.. Some amazing products (presuming they work like)..

Similar to RainX but lasts 3 years  :o
http://max-protect.co.uk/protective-coatings-automotive/ultimate-glass-coat-pro.html

Similar thing as above but for the body of the car Nano film membrane :o
http://max-protect.co.uk/protective-coatings-automotive/ultimate-nano-coat-r.html

Similar thing again but heat resistant say for tip of chrome exhaust  :o
http://max-protect.co.uk/protective-coatings-automotive/max-protect-ultimate-nano-coat-v3.html

I'm either easily amused or these are some wonderful products then again they should be at these prices, Like the idea of the 1st link though.. And maybe the exhaust one but the middle one you'll need more than 15ml to complete an Omega  :o :D ;D

... and on uTube  ???, Not that I mind or anything  :-*, but that's an official video made by these so called artists.. Anyhow.. I best add not for the faint hearted does contain wobbly melons.  :-X

Omega General Help / Armrest noise
« on: 27 July 2013, 06:50:32 »
On the Elite like a type of squeaking rattling rubbing sound nothing really but only makes this noise on the Elite maybe because of the leather hard to know as there seems to be enough of a gap.. Can put up with it just a little annoying tbh...

Then again door pins ain't a bundle of joy either although they can be done easily enough.. Has anyone had a problem with their armrest on a FL saloon ? I'm not 100% it is the armrest but its coming from that area  ???

Will try and make a video of the sound when I get a chance..  :)

Omega General Help / Screen wash additives
« on: 26 July 2013, 20:55:05 »
Have just been using plain old tap water since that last time i used some screen wash additives it turned a nasty sewerage type smell...

But since this warm weather the screen soon get loads of dead bugs and tar and all sorts of scrap thrown at it and plain old water ain't doing squat , If anything making smear marks (wipers are only a month or so old Bosch classic type)...

The only way to clean it to do it manually by hand say once a day... Just wondering is there a recommended product to add to the water ?

Thanks  :)

General Car Chat / Traction Control
« on: 25 July 2013, 03:20:05 »
Just been looking it up on OOF searches as to be honest I've never thought about it much on Omegas and seen as the 2.2 doesn't have it although a 2.0 Vectra does is beyond me, Anyways I've had the 2.2 some 4 years and have managed fine without TC and when I got the 3.2 some months ago i presumed TC was OFF!!!  :o ??? and have only last evening pressed the button presuming it turned "ON" the "Traction Control"  :-[ (now i suposse your wondering why i wanted to turn TC on, Well since the alternator incident i thought it best to have TC on trying to be like miss daisy :-X ;D) I didn't realise I had actually just turned it off till now, The exact opposite of what I intended to do ;D ;D ;D I feel so stupid  :-[...

I know now it has always been on but have yet to see the TC light flash as in this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9fNz0DA6o4c probably haven't tried hard enough then  ::)

Has anyone else made this mistake ? (PLEASE SAY YES)  ;D
