Omega General Help / Lowering

« on: 24 October 2016, 15:51:25 »

I'm looking at upgrading the suspension in the near future, not slammed but lowered to improve looks and handling but still be comfortable enough for long family journey's. Any suggestions? 51 plate 2.2 petrol saloon.

Omega General Help / Rough running

« on: 11 March 2016, 16:35:48 »

Hi all, my 2.2 petrol had developed a problem. Fitted the exhaust manifold last Saturday and took it for mot, passed with brake pipe advisory. Didn't drive it at all Sunday but what driving I did until Monday morning was spot on. On my way into work Monday morning the engine symbol came on and the thing is now running rough. It seems like it's missing/hunting. Is there anyone near Wisbech that has any ideas on what to look at or has a tester to plug in please?

Omega General Help / Passed mot

« on: 06 March 2016, 10:10:22 »

Well after a couple of weeks being off the road trying to source and replace my exhaust manifold I finally have an mot pass. So all I have to do now is before the next mot replace all the brake lines. Think I'll do an upgrade to some Goodrich braided hoses while I'm at it.

Omega General Help / 2.2 Front down pipe dilemma.

« on: 18 February 2016, 18:06:34 »

Needs some advice guys please? My exhaust is knocking under the car,  it is knocking where the exhaust bolts to the gearbox bracket but it seems to me that the down section before the first bend is too long. Did they make 2 manifolds and front pipes for these cars?

It's a 51 plate, 2.2 petrol saloon.

Thanks guys.

Would a boot spoiler off of a pre face-lift fit a face lifted model?

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / boot open button on front consol not working.

« on: 03 January 2016, 19:35:31 »

As per title my consol mounted boot release button isn't working. The switch on the key opens it but not the button. It still illuminates when the boot is open and there's night illumination as will, it just doesn't open the boot. Tried it with ignition on and off, key in and out. Doesn't wanna play. Would it still be the button or something else?

« on: 03 January 2016, 00:12:34 »

Are there any common faults re the rear end suspension set up on these cars? I have a rattle or light knock from the back whilst driving, sounds like a bush of some kind.

Omega Gallery / My new 2.2CD

« on: 31 December 2015, 09:24:53 »

Hi all, this is my 51 plate, petrol 2.2CD. Was my Dad's but he's had his licence revoked Sue to I'll health so I inherited it so to speak. I'm hoping to do some mild mods to it such as cruise control, leather interior, dab double din stereo, sportier suspension, Elite wheels, stainless exhaust and a boot spoiler. Hopefully I'll find out loads about these cars on here and meet up with like minded owners.
First things first though, need to fix the bonnet release handle back on. No idea how to do it yet though. Lol.

Omega General Help / car with spanner symbol

« on: 31 January 2015, 22:47:35 »

Ok so I've picked up my new Omega 2.2 and I was aware of the cat blowing. What I wasn't aware of was that after 5 minutes of driving the car with a spanner through it comes on. Car drives fine, picks up fine. Anybody got any ideas please?

Newbie Welcome Area / re - introduction

« on: 27 January 2015, 11:20:42 »

Hi, bit of a re - introduction tbh. I signed up a while ago and introduced myself but not been on here much. Didn't have an Omega then but unfortunately due to my Dad having his licence revoked due to ill health he has given me his Omega. It's a 51 plate 2.2 CD auto in dark green. Needs some jobs done first though, main one being a catalytic converter, also a damn good clean.

Anyhoo, hope to spend more time on here asking questions and just generally looking around.

If anyone can help re the cat I'd be very grateful but otherwise I'll speak to you all soon.
