« on: 07 June 2018, 21:47:56 »

Hi.

Hope someone can help me.

Changed my cds the other day and popped the mag back in the stereo and it popped

Thanks for the replys.

Omega General Help / Sunroof with its own ideas.

« on: 26 March 2017, 19:45:19 »

Hi.
Just a quick note. Has anyone had this happen to them. When I sometimes close the sunroof, its gets over halfway
then decides - you know I would rather be open thanks - and opens itself back up.
Why is that?
When you do it again, no probs. And its only very rare it happens. Strange.

Omega General Help / Wiper Settings gone up the wall.

« on: 27 April 2016, 16:12:45 »

Hi.
I hope someone can help me.
My wipers have stopped working properly. I have the rain detector on the top of the windscreen
and now I have found the first setting - windscreen rain doesn't work. The second setting which is
occasional doesn't work. The only one that works is constant and quicker.
I recently had work done on it where the battery was disconnected. Is there a relay reset like the windows
and sunroof or is it more terminal.
Thanks for anyones help with this.......

Omega General Help / Mayo in overflow. Yuck.....

« on: 24 September 2014, 15:51:47 »

Hi
I have just dropped our 2.6 elite estate off to the garage to be checked for the
faulty 'oil cooler'.
It has mayo in where there was once water.
Been told by the garage that a replacement part (once got out for number) will cost
roughly £160+vat then about £200 to flush system with the rad and all pipes
being removed.
ouch.
Is this a good overall price or does anyone know a better way to go.
Other than this, the car was mint.
Any comments greatly appreciated.......................................

General Car Chat / Aint Omegas GREAT>>>>>>>>>>>

« on: 21 August 2014, 09:40:42 »

Just a message because I wanted to say how good these cars are.

My wife's omega had an mot 2 months ago. 1st one since we have owned it so  unknown what we would find.
It passed with no extras except 2 new tyres please. Excellent..........

Then 2 weeks ago it was my car's turn. Again haven't had an mot on it since owning it so not sure what we
would find.
And again a pass with no extras except 2 tyres also being told how clean and free from rust was a bonus.

Not being a big head here but god damn what good cars Omegas are......
 

And thanks for this site as it is extra useful......

Omega General Help / Fault code P0304

« on: 14 March 2014, 10:14:12 »

I have used radweld yesterday for my slight leak. Ran the car for the time. Let it cool and tested. All looked good.
Went to use the car last night and it started fine but as i went to pull away it seemed to misfire. The engine management light started to flash
so i turned it off till today.
On reading the fault i have found this code. Is it a coindecense or something nasty.

Any ideas b4 i start looking would be great.

Omega General Help / Saying goodbye to an old friend.

« on: 16 October 2013, 17:41:16 »

We are getting rid of our 2.5td elite r-reg estate next month when the road tax is up.

Just a quick question........... where is the best place to part with it.

It probably has a shed load of parts so breaking for someone would be useful but we dont have the space.

Any ideas would be great.

I dont have enough posts to sell this at the moment.
