Omega General Help / Re: Climate Illumination woes

« on: 18 November 2007, 19:07:27 »

It just seems strange that 3 of the bulbs stopped working together, and I was unable to get them working even with fresh bulbs.  

 Could be that by reassembling you've put pressure temporarily in the right place...

I think they changed the setup so it will work with the engine running... mines a 2002 02 car and it will. It is ~3 seconds though. I'd say it took me a moment to realise but that'd be a terrible pun...

Rules that out then!

Don't know if there is a fuse relating to the socket anywhere  :-/

 Indeed... or maybe a loose connection to it?

 Aye, I think most generic readers won't work on the Omegas - I've had three tried on mine.

 You might need to run some wiring into the fusebox? Just a vaguely educated guess...

Omega General Help / Sticky passenger door lock

« on: 19 November 2007, 01:07:43 »

 Ey up

 The passenger door lock opened and closed as I wanted, using the fob, when I got the car. Then it went a bit temperamental... then it would only lock on the second press (deadlocks on the rest?)... now it sits there doing precisely naff all.
 Where am I best to start looking? A squirt of the old WD down the side of the door pin... a loose connection somewhere... or the motor/ system inside the door?

Cheers
Pete

Omega General Help / Re: Aircon (good time of year for this one)

The A/C won't come on below 4C regardless...

 Ah, it was somewhere between 0-1C... that would explain it. Just need to swap the thermostat then.

 Mine seemed to not demist at all the other night - I'd been in it for a while, and all the windows were fairly heavily steamed up, but even after 5 minutes or so the effect were negligible - would a regas cure this, or is there likelt to be a deeper problem?

Omega General Help / Re: MV6 - Elite?

« on: 19 November 2007, 16:44:03 »

should also say Elite on or above the door trims

Now why didnt I think of saying that... possibly the easiest way to tell if its an elite...does what it says on the badge !

 Didn't plodwagons have "Elite" on the doors, but weren't inside?

« on: 18 November 2007, 21:21:40 »

Or just unlock with key (key doesn't disable alarm).

 Also, this.

Drop window of one door, shut all the doors, lock with the fob. Then unlock that one door, or maybe just wave your arm around inside.

An old Irish "mechanic" used to say to me..."...just tighten the oppsers down."  

Another variation of the theme was from a work mate. Tighten till you fart  ..... then another quarter turn!!    

 "Tighten them til you feel it in your left/right knacker (according to handedness)"

Omega General Help / Re: My first Omega - couple of heating problems

 The heated seats take a while to warm up - about 5 minutes, in my experience.

How would one go about fitting a phone kit to a facelift? Just swap for a phone-enabled headunit, fit the mic etc, and be done?
