Anyone reccomend a decent insurance company??? done the compare sites and they vary between £460 to £1200!!

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / wipers

« on: 21 May 2012, 21:26:39 »

Me again
Could someone with rain sensing wiper's be so kind as to look at the windscreen where the sensor is mounted and let me know:-
A, Where the sensor fit's to the screen

B, Should there be any blackened screen around the sensor?

I only ask as i'm trying to sort the non working pulse on the wiper's and having removed the plastic inner cover i've found that the screen behind said cover is painted with black gloss with the sensor loose in the cover.

Omega General Help / Cheap 2.2dti

« on: 20 May 2012, 21:43:46 »

Evening all!
I've been offered by a friend of mine a 2003 Dti cd saloon for it's scrap value. £250 was mentioned.
The problam he has with it is the IP.
It Failed last september and he bought a tested working used unit to fit on the car. His spanner man has fitted the pump but the engine will not turn with it fitted.
He say's it's not an immobiliser fault because the engine can not be turned with a spanner on the crank.
I can't see what can be wrong without looking at this car but i can't for the life oe me think what would cause this to happen.
The guy doing the work is a mechanic he's used for years so unless there is something peculier to the Omega setup i cant see him doing it wrong.
My one and only thought is that he's got the static timing very wrong and valve's and piston's are meeting.
What do we think boy's?

Omega General Help / 2.2dti emmissions light

« on: 06 May 2012, 00:50:08 »

Morning all

2003 2.2dti with a hiccup
Plod's along ok around town but when it go's on a motorway or similer the emmission's light come's on drop's the power slightly then go's out then come's on then go's out......you get the picture!!
Seem's to be when power is needed.....uphill etc.
No code's stored using a Maxidiag eobd reader.
Checked all vac pipe's, oil  level and electrical plug's and all seem ok.
From past experience with a Renault Trafic van i'm thinking EGR and/or MAF...
And the opinion of the collective is???
