Battery Range and lack of charging infrastructure would be one thing to look into  :-\
same as the UK
also goes for the electric cars ,
so buy one big enough to tow a big thirsty diesel generator on a trailer  ;)

Just not true anymore - having had 2 electric cars alongside the Omega, the charging infrastructure is more than enough for the current number on the road and expanding all the time.

Valves, condensor, pump in that order in my experience.

Condenser tends to not be a slow process like you describe so I'd start with the other 2.

If all is well it should stay charged for years.

Omega General Help / Re: Keeping brake discs from going rusty
« on: 22 February 2018, 12:28:10 »
Any good tips for keeping brake discs from going rusty on cars that are left standing?
I have a number of vehicles inc 3 omagas which i alternate, which means that some are left standing.
It annoys me that even after a few weeks you can see rust on the discs through the alloys.

For obvious reasons, i am reluctant to WD40 them etc.......

A quick emergency stop will resolve that for you once the car is in use  :y

The Tesla model Ss that I have driven can be set to maximum braking regeneration. Lifting off will drop a considerable chunk of speed as the energy get put back into the system...

Not a new idea, a decent truck exhaust can be set to slow the vehicle to almost a full stop when the accelerator is released. Certainly found the Volvo VEB+ to be particularly effective in this regard 8)

Both will show the brake lights, for those that wondered.

The only new bit here is the Nissan system will use the friction brakes and actually stop the car completely  :y

The e-pedal. You'd have to train your brain a bit before you went out with that bugger.

I drive my current Leaf with just the 1 peddle 95% of the time - very relaxing and the Omega takes some getting used to after!

The only difference with the new one is it will apply the actual brakes and bring you to a stop rather than only using regen.

« on: 12 February 2018, 19:44:14 »
for a few months now the battery on my mig has let me down on a few occasions but I have always managed to jump start it.. so within minutes its turned over. ecp are having  w/end 30% off sale. so picked up a 70 amp for £55 with a three year warranty. me thinks not bad.  :y :y  hope I can find my radio code.  ::)
Ouch :o

Suspect that's why I tend to get them from the dealer...
  I tried 3 dealers that are within 25mls of York & still do T.C & the answer from all was they no longer supply batteries that are suitable for an omega. my first thought was the initial dealer couldn't be bothered . then when the next 2 said the same thing then I assumed it must be right

They do in Bournemouth  :y

I buy mine from Vauxhall, their tradeclub stuff, not optiplex.

This time of year it goes in neat so i can keep the screen clear even wehn very cold outside.  Should be down to -20 iirc

Always seems to be £10 a box of 4x5 litre
I shall ring the dealer this week, see what he has :y.  I wasn't aware there was a TC one.

I've tried both and Opticlean is so much better - cheap on TC
