Well done. Mine too. Just a couple of rear tyres. £225 including MOT. Can’t complain for another year. Enjoy.

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Replaced passenger wiper moter now noisy

Would a spray of WD40 on the arm from the motor help? eBay part to pass MOT, as the previous motor had failed.

Got mine out, stuck in snow, using snow mode on auto box. Was surprised being rear wheel drive. How do other owners find the Omega in snow/ice?

It took longer to route the wiring tidily than it did to fit the rest of the kit. £10 well spent, although I should have paid the extra for body coloured ones.
If you stick the display upside down to the top of the rear window, you can use it in the mirror. It means you don't have to run the wiring through the car, and more importantly, don't have to look at the damn thing stuck to the dash.
That’s a good idea😀 the display I got is wireless. I’ll try it in both positions & see. It needs v12, But was going to plug it into the rear cigarette socket anyway.
Now a V12 Omega sounds interesting, but alas a V6 is as big as they went with a dabble in the V8 concept car
)
Wish they had over done a V12😀

The clip arrived today, but cannot get to the nut. My mechanic has very small hands, going to see if he can fit it. I don’t want to have to take the wipers and scuttle off, looks beyond my abilities😀

« on: 10 August 2017, 13:35:44 »Had a look under the bonnet with the wipers on. The metal rod from the wiper motor which should be attached to the underside passenger wiper, underneath the rear of he engine bay, has come completely lose and is moving freely. It there anyway of reattaching it?
The nylon balljoints wear and fall apart. You might be able to reattach it, but don't expect it to last long. You can buy clips to prolong the life a bit LINK but you really ought to budget for a replacement linkage.
Thanks for the link Nick. To fit that, do I need to remove the scuttle?

After reading the shuttle guide, I will first check the nut is not lose. Hopefully it just needs tightening up?

« on: 08 August 2017, 21:42:12 »i had this from kwiksht on a refill, got refund, went to f1 autocentres, they refilled it properly and been fine ever since
Similar for me. Had it regased twice last summer by ATS😤 had it regased this summer by Mr Clutch, eight weeks later still going strong. I knew when it took them 1.20 hours compared to ATS’s 40 mins they had done a better job. Note all three time I only had 250 in gas.

Drivers is fine. When lifting the passenger wiper of the windscreen, the metal part feels lose and moves too freely compared to the drivers wiper? Only happened today.
