Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Omega Alarm on the Elite

« on: 28 June 2013, 19:28:25 »

On the 3.2 Elite (which would be the standard VX fit alarm system) Siren/Horn doesn't work only the hazards flash...

I'm not sure if the power sounder has been removed or changed for a new battery.. Only noticed today as the key fob was flat (crappy eBay Duracell battery

don't last 5 minuets ) Opened the door by the key in the door and the hazards went off so i presume that's the alarm trying to power up $:-\$ ... Also i have removed the battery a few times a few weeks ago and the hazards never flashed so going by old threads that would suggest there is no battery in the power sounder..

Personally i'd prefer to remove the whole thing it just drains the main battery when the car is locked and the alarm system is armed and when the alarm doesn't work its even more pointless..

Would it be quicker to dismantle the alarm system or fix it going by this description $:-\$

Also, Is it possible that the horn or siren is knackered and if i was to change the alarm speaker unit would it still work without the power sounder if it doesn't have one, I presume it would just that it wouldn't when there's no battery in the car

Thanks

General Discussion Area / Considering Joining RAC

« on: 26 June 2013, 22:50:07 »

Have never joined any of these type of road side breakdown companies... But having checked how much it is i'm seriously considering it for peace of mind...

Roadside, Recovery and Onward Travel (package) £79.99 once a year or £8.25 direct debit monthly..

Anyone else on this package or is there a cheaper better deal with another company, AA etc. ?

Omega General Help / Sunroof

« on: 19 June 2013, 19:48:42 »

The matt black type paint on the sunroof is peeling on the Elite.. Have been thinking its going to be a little awkward to paint myself so am thinking about taking all the paint off and polishing the alloy.. Has anyone else done this ?
