It's just more evidence that Britain is totally and utterly broken.

Quote from a newspaper today " The world is laughing at the fragile state of the UK after yesterday's fiasco at Heathrow airport"

At least we're giving everyone a giraffe!

Is the snsor just popped off or wet?  suspect latter, and its constantly cycling through broken/good

I had the whole arm off for refurb and never put sensor back and as was going to just try and replace the system. I might just put the switch back on for now.

I should have said leave the sensor off and hope it doesn't complain

Replace the system with what

With nothing, I didn't put the sensor back on.

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Headlight aim warning can't turn off

« on: 30 January 2025, 18:54:34 »

This stems from I need to fix the adjuster thing on the LH wishbone for headlight aim. In the meantime whenever I get the warning I just tap the bottom left steering mounted switch to turn the warning off. Recently after the car being laid up for a bit over winter it now doesn't turn off when I click the switch, any ideas why it won't turn off now? Is this the car getting pissed off I'm not fixing it?!

Cheers

Mm, that’s how conspiracy theories start and of course however unlikely, sometimes,  there’s no smoke without fire. No pun intended.

And the city fire brigade went woke

Your 2.6 still looks really good.

 Luton registration.  Quite a popular place to register Vauxhall's in the past. Be Peugeot soon.

My 2.6 CD is also KW02, but is now far away in Scotland!

Omega General Help / Re: Bonnet latch loose

« on: 02 November 2024, 09:36:18 »

A wee get out of jail free tip if the lever won't open the bonnet - and you don't have an assistant to push down on the bonnet. Jam one of the keys in under one of the corners abover the light so it's holding the edge of the bonnet up then it should pop. Usually do this with my omega as it gets lazy when hot (the catch).
