Omega General Help / Re: Wobble under braking
« on: 20 April 2009, 21:14:13 »
Had the same problem on mine, replaced the discs, still the same, replaced the wheel bearings was better but then had my tyres checked and found out that the offside rear tyre was bald on the indise 
, might be worth checking that James.

Omega General Help / Re: omega towing limits
« on: 17 April 2009, 23:26:49 »
As miggy has suggested. When I went looking for a van I didn't know about kerb weight, train wieght etc, so I went to a couple of dealers had a look round to see what they had then checked with the dealer to see if the car was capable enough to tow it. One van that we looked at was a twin axle 6 berth Bailey senator (the top of the range Bailey) and they said yes but with you in it and the van fully loaded you are on your max. So off to another dealer found another van checked to see if it was compatible with the car and it was perfect and still enough for more. We have a Abbey vogue gts 420 2004 model top of the range van.

I would start looking at the gearbox as this has all happened since the new one was fitted. It might not have anything to do with it but you never know. Failing that then replacing the O2 sensors all round.

Omega General Help / Re: urgent. no idle on v6
« on: 18 April 2009, 00:02:42 »
The other problem could be if the timing is out when the cambelt was fitted, not saying that it was done wrong or anything, but the timing needs to be be spot on with these engines as TB pointed out to me when he done my cambelt replacement last year at Telford. Just a thought Jon.

Omega General Help / Re: Air con condenser
« on: 15 April 2009, 19:02:44 »
Well what they said to me was that they pressure tested and there were no leaks. When they brought the car back to me the air con pipes were very very cold. On my way home from Newbury it was still cold, by the time I got to Thatcham the air con was no more. 20 mins if i remember correctly.
I will get it checked again properly soon. The trouble is they didn't know neither did I as fit you up (yes I know) didn't refit the black caps back on.

QuoteI do appologise for hijaking this thread but I have an issue with my air con.
Had the air con regassed, twice, and give it a day and its all gone. the air con system has been pressure tested and no leaks, could this be the air con rad as well or something different?
Paul
Did you have the UV tracer added? If you did get the gasser to go over the system (inside the car too) very carefully, it has got to have gone somewhereThere is an alternative gas to the standard Freon but can't think of it of the top of my head.
I don't know if that was done but it only last not even 12 hours

Also check the crankcase breather pipe, its the one to the right of the engine looking from the front to the windscreen. You will se a hose with a bend in it coming from the cam cover.

Omega General Help / Re: HOW TO TOW
« on: 03 April 2009, 16:58:27 »
If you are traveling more than 60 miles then the rear of the car needs lifting of the ground.The reason why is that the rear axle will sieze. If you are traveling 10 miles down the road then you can tow the car without lifting or disconnecting the propshaft, the car can be towed with all four wheels on the road with no problems.

Trouble is Nicks key is part of the fob but not the same as the facelift ones, the fob is the key.

Omega General Help / Re: Age or Mileage
« on: 03 April 2009, 16:51:54 »Quote
I posted here a week back about the explod omega - having not bought it, just looking ofr some byers advice. A lot of meggys around 130K on 03 plates - If these have full SH are they a better bet than a lower mileage older car??
I currently have a lowish mileage '98 CD (94K) and the engine is great.... bodywork needs attention tho' - what would I get for that?
As long as the car has a full service history then it should not matter at all as long as the bodywork is in good condition.
As with a lower mileaged older car then you could get problems with the bodywork but it depends on wether the older car has full service history as well. If you are going to keep the car for a very long time then it shouldn't matter what you get if you are prepared to spend time and money to bring it back to standard.
