Omega General Help / excess exhaust and coolant loss.

« on: 10 January 2012, 22:54:40 »

Had previously stated about coolant loss about a pint a week. Went to start the Miggy and lots of smoke from the exhaust, a thought here we go again this happened last year and cylinder head had gone. Surely its not happened again. Car drives fine and smoke eases off after driving for about 15 min. Is there anything else that could cause this or am I grasping at straws. Havent had time to look for gunge in oil. P.S only has about 40.000 mile on clock.

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / courtesy light not working

« on: 30 April 2010, 22:20:30 »

Changed the CD player then noticed that the courtesy light is not working anymore. checked all the fuses and they are okay. Lights in sunvisors and on door panels and above passenger doors all fine. havent checked the bulbs but cant see how 4 would blow at the same time. Is it just a coincidence that I changed the CD player or is there a feed from behind the dash I could have disturbed. Not a major problem but one I would like to rectify. Cheers in advance.

Omega General Help / wiring problem

« on: 25 August 2011, 14:56:19 »

Temp Gauge stopped working. Have located loose wire about 3 inches long coming from ecu temp sender. Have pic showing this wire connects to right of this  to temp dial sender. Problem I have this is the wire has a spade connector and the connection for the temp sender is round. Has a some sort of connection came loose and got lost or what. Any advice would be grateful. Awkward to post any pic as it is at the back of engine.

Omega General Help / Temp Gauge stopped working

« on: 25 July 2011, 21:37:15 »

Found the wire spade connector at the back of engine but for the life of me cannot find were it connects to. Hands ripped to pieces. Even tried jacking up car and tried looking from underneath still nothing. Would it be easier to remove skuttle or is there any easier way.

Omega General Help / Autobox update

« on: 05 May 2011, 23:30:39 »

Had Miggy back at auto transmission specialist who has said he tested the solenoids and says they are fine. Is now very doubtful that the torque converter is at fault as the P0743 is electrical and he thinks next step should be to replace gearbox ECU. Anyone think this will cure the problem or is this just a guessing game.

Omega General Help / How much would you pay advice please

« on: 21 April 2011, 16:18:55 »

How much would you expect to pay a garage to replace and refit a torque converter. Seen one garage down south which was charging less than half the price I have been quoted. Getting the feeling someone is tryin to con me. Maybe not will go with your opinion.
