Omega General Help / Re: Can the distance parking sensors be turned off/on ?

« on: 13 November 2016, 12:37:49 »

I think it can depend on the system fitted as to whether they can be turned on/off at will.I'd suggest that if the towbar is firing the system off then the sensors are not correctly spaced?

General Car Chat / Will it fit?

« on: 13 November 2016, 12:27:52 »

As stated elsewhere I've managed to get Omega to my rented lock up.The rear tyres have a habit of going flat[not punctured],so until I can get them sealed on the rim/new valves or whatever I need something to put in their place.Obviously the spare from the boot will do for one side,the question is will the alloy wheel from a Senator B fit?It's not as though the car is going to be driven anywhere whilst it's fitted so road safety is not an issue.

Managed to get bonnet open,refitted battery,inflated rear tyres.Then drove it[first time it's turned a wheel since last November!]quarter mile to lock up garage.Happily it just fits in[this was my main worry when renting the garage]so it will now hibernate until warmer weather returns next year when I'll fit the new oil cooler and other bits I've got for cooling system.

Yes perhaps what Vauxhall/Opel could have done with/could do with is a "premium"brand as Toyota did with Lexus and Citroen are doing with the DS range[there are no Citroen badges on the new DS's]whether or not GM could pull it off is another matter.Sadly badge snobbery/status is alive and well,people buy into the marketing that the likes of BMW,Mercedes etc are better built from better quality components,are more reliable and so on it all comes down to peoples perception of a particular brand.

To make it clear,yes I do still own a B2 Omega[I kept it for a purpose which I have not yet fulfilled,when I do I will get rid of it.I joined the forum as I owned[own]an Omega and wanted to know all sorts of stuff about it.I'm not knocking the Omega per se just that for me the pfl/mfl styling is too effeminate,with the fl being better in this regard.I would say that interior wise[in Elite guise at any rate-the only type I've owned]then the B1's were far better.I'm not "pimping" ???The XJ I no longer own that either.These are just my personal opinions and if you disagree-as you obviously do-that's fine it's each to their own at the end of the day isn't it?The Steinmetz version does look well,but then that's not a standard production version which is what I was basing my opinions on.

To be pedantic if you're using 1993 as your base date you'd need a picture of the XJ40,the X300[pictured didn't appear until late 1994.Anyway the Jaguar had style.The Omega B1 is for me very effeminately styled and lacks any kind of road presence,the B2 partly made up for this with its bigger bumpers,mirrors and wheels,although I think the grille could have been better integrated-but that was the corporate "face".Would I have another B1?No I wouldn't,but then nor would I have another B2!Would I have another X300 yes definitely!!

The big difference with Trump is that his party has majority in both Congress and the Senate,and is therefore more likely to get what he wants than Obama could.

Omega General Help / Re: cracked manifold

« on: 09 November 2016, 19:19:00 »

I have known manifolds on other makes to be welded,but with varying degrees of success.I would imagine that a new manifold would be a dealer only part[could be wrong though]Is a known good used one a possibility-from a reputable source obviously!

Indeed if the Astra[or any car for that matter]does what you want it to,when you want it to then why change just for the sake of it?
