Omega General Help / Elite R/V mirror, wats it do ?
« on: 02 January 2009, 11:10:24 »
Hi, not sure what its meant to do in terms of dipping ?
silly question possibly but I have seen people mention it actually moves down when selecting reverse, mine does bugger all apart from making things look a bit strange on the motorway after dark and rattle a lot!.
breaked or not breaked, that is the question?

Omega General Help / mayo in oil filler tube
« on: 29 December 2008, 15:28:02 »
Just noticed a light smearing of mayo when toping up the oil, dont appear to be losing coolant and oil and water appear clear. Temp is spot on and driving fine.
Would this be likely to be due to new job being 2 miles away and not getting the motor hot enough? used to do lots of miles and aint seeen it before!

Been running my Elite for 4 months now and noticed a steamy ? exhaust when sitting at lights when all other cars arent producing any vapours.

Omega General Help / Door/Bumper mouldings, paint or not
« on: 09 September 2008, 11:53:54 »
Hi all, I am considering getting my black door strips and bumper bit's colour coded as the rest of the car is star silver and I think it would make the car look a bit more modern.
Has anyone done this and could suggest a reasonable price a paint shop would charge, or could some bits from a facelift model be used to update my car( mini facelift ) i.e door strips / bumpers.

Omega General Help / Had my belt done,good job too
« on: 11 August 2008, 14:34:37 »
Hi all, like most new v6 owners I was shitt*ng myself about the belt going,it had been done 39,000 ago and considered doing it myself but didnt have the time. I phoned round but most garages wouldnt touch it and those that would wanted £550-£600 just for belt and tensioner.
I managed to speak to a friendly VX tech who was happy to come to my house with the dealer kit and fit gen vx belt+ tensioner , idlers,water pump aux belt and fresh coolant for £320. Im happy with that!
When he removed the timing cover, horror of horrors dots of tippex on the pulleys, locking tool wouldnt fit either bank and he reckons it was 5 degrees out at least, the tensioner was weeping grease big time too, basically im glad as hell I didnt wait any longer. The guy is based in North west and I could put people in touch if interested.

Sounds dim but are there any switches etc ? I have a 3 litre elite and it's got every other piece of kit imaginable so would expect it to have.

Omega General Help / V6 locking kit question
« on: 02 June 2008, 17:58:37 »
Hi , Had a lovely day phoning local garages for quote on a 3.0v6 belt and tensioner change, you would have thought I was asking for one of their kidneys by their reaction, and they all seem terrified of the job, why? None bar the main dealer would touch it.
I have a good guy who would do it but doesn't have the locking kit for a 3.0 but does for the 2.5, Im curious if these would be actually the same kit? I would rather get a second hand kit or hire one than pay £450 to vauxhall. Any suggestions. Im pretty handy but havent done a belt and dont fancy starting with a v6.Cheers Jon

Hi all, Picked up my omega last night, 2000 3.0 elite with Lpg from new. Expected a few issues and knew it was a bit rough on gas. Its been standing for a bit and needed a new battery which I fitted this morning.
Oh Lord it makes a lovely noise!
Will post in the wanted section also but need an insert for the front lower bumper in silver if anyone has one. Looking forward to posting lots of questions soon.
