Hi,My Dad has an Omega 2.5 V6 1997,he went to Nottingham this afternoon and car drove fine.When he came to leave the carpark it struggled to pull off and his words were "like when a clutch slips". When placed into 1 and 2 car drove ok,just not in 3 or drive.He got the car home and has since been out in it again and everything is back to how it should be,any ideas anyone,loose connection,possible ecu problem or gear box ready for a service?...any help/advice appreciated...Wayne

My MID screen is in "power save" mode (only uses about 25% of the pixels), so no loss there!  How does one reset the windows and sunroof(I sound like the newbie I am)?

here's the guide

Think i'm going to bite the bullet and replace crank sensor,anyone any idea how much they are at dealers,my brother who works for SAF (Mapperley branch) says he can get me one for £25+vat,anyone tried these or are they a no no?...Wayne

Should be fine.....and if it doesn't do the trick get it on ebay to recover your costs.

Make sure you route the wires as per the maintenance guide, makes it much easier to fit and keeps the wire away from the hot bits.

Thanks for that,starting to get depressed with it,keep repairing other peoples cars...and can't my own...lol
