Omega General Help / F/L Powersounder
« on: 10 September 2012, 19:58:58 »
Hope this may help others . . .
Car 2003 2.5V6 Estate - today alarms going off, car locks on remote then immediately unlocks - key in ignition and turn, alarms sound. Car got to stage where it wouldn't turn over, dash lights dimmed. Only way to turn alarms off is to press locking button on remote.
10 mins later and powersounder in bucket of water, gurgling happily - central locking working now ok, car starting ok.
Ditch that powersounder

Caveat Viator
Had sold my Elite Saloon http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/index.php?topic=100033.0 at the asking price with arrangements made last night by phone for the buyer to collect car today, eta 10- 11am. Took a day off work and waited in in vain - tried to contact buyer on his mobile a number of times to see what was happening but he wasn't answering. Totally pi**ed off as another interested party has now purchased another car (although he says he would have preffered the Elite!)
So to ensure this does't happen to anyone else on OOF, I'm naming and shaming - the guy's name is Tim Wicks, mobile 07932 367271. Tosser

Just refitted charged battery and got windows & sun roof working ok.
Radio is another matter - switched on ignition with radio off, switched radio on while holding AS button in display still shows SAFE, no numbers and wont seem to go to CODE. Any ideas?
