Hello all. I'm new on omegaowners.com but i am an omega owner for 13 years. I have a 1996 Omega B 2.0 16V X20XEV engine 4 speed automatic transmission model. I wonder if my car has torque converter lock-up mechanism? Because i don't feel any feeling changes while cruising. I searched the forum and maintenance guides, found opposite answers and i'm a bit confused. Does anyone know or tell me how to know about it? Thanks a lot.

Sorted, phew.

That gives us a little more restbite from the ruskis and norks....

Database server is getting tight on disk space, so just need to increase a bit.  Should happen with no outage required, but shit can happen.

I'm only at the very start of looking at this Ste, but my initial thoughts are to leave the seatbelt as untouched Ford at both ends, which takes care of pretensioners. The only other SRS components afaik are the seat occupancy sensors. Something to be worked out but I'd hope to be able to take across the Ford items.

As I said, still early stage thinking   

Buy a cushion

I think the whole debacle displays the utter greed and grasp of the SNP/Greens and even Alba.
It's apparent that they will stoop to new lows to ensure they can continue to squander the future of Scotland and introduce their perverted beliefs to a populace that deserve so much better .
Last week it was handbags at dawn now fellatio is back on the menu.
If you took time to look at each of the main players in this tragic farce it would become so very apparent that they are all very peculiar people .
When I think of John Smith , Wuillie Ross, Donald Dewar George Robinson et all they were men of principle  who focused on the people of Scotland's well being and future not Gaza or sexual orientation lessons  for 5 year olds .
Save for two or three the current parasites  look ,act and debate like parish councilors .
I left Scotland many years ago but speaking to friends back there they are in a state of utter disbelief at the quality of leadership that sits in that dreadful ,dull and dated building in Edinburgh .
Frankly I believe that the whole assembly  should be deemed a total failure and revert to having a Scottish Executive again .

Just wait and watch the greens call their delusional and perverted  shots again ............

Are you sure you want to start messing around with airbag wiring, Jim? If you put the light on in the galaxy it could be a bugger to put right.

To be honest, unless something very obvious, somebody will have to get in boot whilst another hoses the car over.

Although it may he hard to believe, but from  work related experiences, a hose on a car to try and find a leak doesn't always replicate actual rain water falling from the sky!
Issues with cabriolets for example that were often prone to water ingress sometimes could only get replicated parked in the rain instead of using a hose on a tripod!!

If you have std shocks, you definitely do NOT want springs for SL shocks.

just had a look, it's these shocks that's on it, gas ones:

While the galaxy does everything we need it to, I do have one significant gripe with it - the front seats. The driver's seat has some wear which makes it less comfortable than the passenger seat, but even that side isn't particularly comfortable.

I was thinking of swapping in some omega seats, specifically the grey cdx mouse fur seats as we're in my estate. They would match from the perspective of being manual with electric height adjustment, exceptionally comfortable (IMO) and the grey cloth wouldn't look too odd.in the car. Now, some questions...

- Does anyone know the seat back/squab width? I've done a search but cannot see a post on the subject.

- does anyone have any seats for sale? The ones on eBay I've seen are roughly what I would expect to pay for seats with a whole omega attached. 

As always, any help gratefully received.
