Omega General Help / Replacement keys

« on: 14 July 2009, 01:13:36 »

replacement keys. Bough a beauty facelift from Dax & Pete both of the keys are WELL worn ( not blaming Daz or Pete for the record ) ( the second key will lock all the doors and start the engine , as does key 1 ) you press any key digit the red light shows up on the fob as working but open the car doors or boot so I am hoping that is just to rest (( key 2 this is )) I relaced and put in a charge battery  a battery in the second key ( worse  than the  that does just about work, so I hope it just needs re setting to the car ? I know that both keys will do this but I loose the central locking feature as will the key thats works

So my main question is. I would like to get at least one 100% working key, can I buy one from here / fleabay, and change the small chip in to the new one or is this a dreaded VX Dealer job ? If Yes to the second question any idea of a rough cost

Many thanks

Omega General Help / Door Dead Locks ?

« on: 23 May 2009, 21:41:37 »

Hi all , I have had the autobox changed by the garage , they must have had to disconnect the battery as I had to re enter the radio / cd codes, which I have done. But when I locked up the car earlier , it locked via the keyfob , I then pressed it again to dead lock it and nothing happened ? Any ideas please ?

Thanks

Omega General Help / Auto box help needed please.

« on: 16 May 2009, 19:36:36 »

Hi , went out today in the Mig , was overtaking on the motorway , accelarated down into 3rd gear then felt a thump under the car and lost all transmision , coasted to the hard shoulder and was towed to safety ( 400 yards to next exit )  by some very helpful ( I cant believe I am saying that ! ) traffic officers , had the kids in the car so was very gratful of the quick motorway exit. RAC man towed me back home ( backwards ) and dumped car at the garage ( which is closed till Monday ) he got in and engaged the drive to D and reved gently , which bought up , Gearbox fault on the centre display . I am doing the paperclip test tommorrow hopefully , but anyone any ideas or had similiar ? Gearbox oil and filter were only changed 3 weeks ago and have done less than 200 miles since . Any advice would be very helpful ,

Many thanks
