Omega General Help / Help please. Doorlock gremlins

« on: 25 July 2015, 16:22:30 »

Hi folk. Can anyone advise me on how to open my dead 1996 omega?
It appears the battery has gone flat and fob won't open the doors. Trouble is the key won't open the door either. Nor will my spare key. Surely these should open a dead car? They open the boot but I can't get or see anyway into the cabin from there.
Just need to get power back in and hope the fobs work .
Is there a way to open the bonnet from outside?
All help muchly appreciated.

General Car Chat / Who has?

« on: 11 June 2015, 10:25:46 »

Hello folks. Hey Just a question out of curiosity. 
Who has the oldest Omega and why are there so few of them left on the road? I often go browsing but there seems little or none of the p/f model left.
Mine is a 1997(R) and there seems to be none left older. These were launched in 1994 on a (L)? Are the Omegas gonna die quicker and become as elusive as the Cresta and Victor?
Maybe it'll be worth banging a couple into a bubble and stored?
Anyone driving owning a P/f and older than mine?

Omega General Help / Road tax prices?

« on: 12 May 2015, 22:16:33 »

Hey folk.
Have been looking at 2.2 Omegas post 2000 ones...
What do you guys who own these pay on road fund licence?
The one I did a search on shows that it's a  231 g/km so according to the charts it's £490 per annum? Is this right? Just one band above that..? 
Shocking if it's true.

Omega General Help / reverse light issue.

« on: 06 April 2015, 12:50:53 »

Hey folks, just wondering if anyone can advise where I can solve my lack of reverse lights.
They've never worked since I bought it and it's become tedious now. Checked the bulbs for known good ones and now I have had the car in the air to check the switch on the gearbox. That is intact and wires all look fine etc, so unplugged it and reconnected it. Still no joy. Is there anywhere else to look please? Really doing my head in reversing with no lights.

Omega General Help / wanted sunroof window motor

« on: 22 February 2015, 11:28:45 »

Hey folk. I think my sunroof motor has blown or burned out. Checked the fuse and that's ok, it's just not moving and had to close it manually. 
It's a 97 cd model if there is any differences. Anyone close by that has one? Are there other vx I can look at using if I venture to a scrap yard?
Any help or info would be appreciated.  Cheers. 

Apologies for wrong section post, couldn't add it to the desired one.

Omega General Help / location of coolant temp sensor?

« on: 14 October 2014, 20:03:25 »

Hi people.
 Can anyone tell me where to find the cts on the 97  2.0 eco four potter please? On occasions the idle revs are erratic; I was lead to believe that this is the source of the issue. Had tried looking in the Haynes,, no help there for a change.
Thanks in advance.

Omega General Help / rejuvenate.

« on: 16 September 2014, 20:56:25 »

Hi folks. Having enjoyed using my ole motor for passed few weeks I am thinking I should start to treat the car to new items which will consist of, plugs, oil filters etc. I remember rightly, these have a external fuel filter outside of the tank? Are they easy to find and then fit, considering renewing the fuel line with copper one that I have excess of also, just so there's no cr@p left over. Are these fuel lines all rubber through to the front?

Omega General Help / few thoughts please?

« on: 01 September 2014, 19:57:32 »

Hey folk. As you know I am new to Omega's. Have a couple of questions about mine.
It's a preface, 97 2.0 CD. I have noticed the top of dipstick is snapped off, how it's happened is beyond me. Can I get one from any xe engine?
I have also noticed that the reverse lights dont work, changed and checked bulbs so it must be switch or wires off it? Where is the location of the said reverse switch please?
I have a cheap nasty aftermarket cd player which doesn't work with the date/time etc on the computer. What was or what gm cd player can I get to work normally please?
The computer screen has lost its pixels, are there still replacements about for this? The odd trim bit missing but I hope to sort these along the way.
Hope you're all still reading and I haven't bored you?

Newbie Welcome Area / Hello to you all.

« on: 31 August 2014, 13:08:44 »

Hello folks. Thought I'd drop in and say hi. Just acquired myself a CD spec 2.0 petrol saloon, on a 1997(R) plate. I am happy with it but it needs some tlc which I shall give it over time. I am sure I shall be asking a few questions in time as I set to task with it.. I shall go browse about now and see how this all works.
