If Farage and Braverman had been more 'inclusive' like the NHS they would have been greeted with open arms. :D ;D

The left love to control and close down anything they don't agree with.

Don't think so

You don't need to be very right wing to be considered a right wing Nazi in 2024. :-\

Soviet style politics in the 21st century. Disgraceful.

Or a weak pump, or fuel pressure regulator...

That points towards an issue either with the cluster or the connection from the engine ECU.

The dash is the one major difference between the Catera and Omega, and without seeing behind the cluster there may be additional wiring/plugs for the extra displays/warnings.

I suspect that the alternator only feeds the charge light (and battery voltage gauge), whereas the rpm signal comes from the engine ECU information (crank and/or cam sensor).

If the pedal trick works*, any codes may highlight a discrepancy.

* It should as the car is DBW.

The speedometer issue is almost guaranteed to be unrelated.
But engine right on high rpm. Car starts to stall when accelerating. Maybe I should start with (crank and/or cam sensor)?
Previous owner said that they changed crank sensor from omega.

Fuel filter ok?

if it miss fires on acceleration that points to ignition voltage and coil packs
I'm expecting fuel filter too And I will start to change it first soon.
Coil pack are new. Engine is not misfiring.

I thought that wishbones that had the harder polly bushes fitted had a tendency to crack  :-\ :-\

Only if you fit them to the back,

I knew there was something about polly bushes ..... it's been a while since my Omega days  :y

I reckon Robsey's V8 "Omega 2.5 estate" was pretty much perfect. Before he gave the game away by poking a blower through the bonnet!

Was this the one with Monaro running gear?
Yup :y

Still going strong. Basically it's a short wheelbase Commodore wagon that happens to look like an Omega... That's to say the entire drivetrain and subframes are Monaro/Holden VZ rather than Omega B.

I’ve only ever had one genuine ballpoint fail. And I ran all mine on genuine wishbones, which just kept getting refurbed apart from the first time when I bought a pair (back when they were dirt cheap).

That’s where I get that idea from.

Virtually all of the shagged ball joints I’ve seen have been on pattern arms. Most of them the shit provided (when they can be arsed to post) by ATP
Had no issues with Febi or Delphi ball joints fitted to aftermarket arms.

I didn't have the budget to spend £500 on wishbones so was quite happy to accept the life expectancy of cheaper arms and refurbish them as required.

I thought that wishbones that had the harder polly bushes fitted had a tendency to crack  :-\ :-\

This.

A vast improvement at the time, but only lasted about 7k miles. I don't recall the make of the wishbone that failed, but it could have been anything from GM to ATP special.

However, when fitted, those  rear polys made one hell of a difference to the way the car drove.
