Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Remote Key Help Wanted Please?
« on: 12 May 2011, 23:05:03 »
Right, here goes...
At the time of writing this post I am very tired, I have looked through the site and probably missed the answer to my question, but...
The 1 and only 3 button remote key that I got with the car is pretty much destroyed. It works fine but is extremely cosmetically challenged, I have ordered off of Ebay from Hong Kong for £3.95 a new shell for the remote, and was wondering if there is a step by step guide or any guides for transplanting the case?
I have done this once before on my 98 R BMW 728 and as a result accidently lost the chip in the remote but luckily had 2 keys for the car at the time. But am petrified of risking this with the Omega as I only have the one key and no money.
Also I know this is a really stupid question but I AM BLONDE lol, How do you get the key and remote apart?
Cheers.

Key doesn't jab you in the leg and I think it looks better.

knowing me as there seems to be no way to attach it to a key ring i would loose it within days
There is a bit at the opposite end to the flip key bit the hooks onto your keyring.

Hi, I am considering buying a genuine GM 3 button flip key (Used) and wondered if they are compatible with Omega's? My Omega is the Facelift model and my current fob has the 3 buttons on it.

My jaw just hit the floor!!! 
For a good reason.
I emailed JPAT for the quote for the parts who have given me a 50% discount making the order including NEXT DAY by NOON delivery all in at £34.39!!! Without the oil.
Thank you for telling me to go to them
Prices as of today after the 50% discount are:
Front Sump Gasket £4.02
Rear Sump Gasket £3.39
GM Filter £10.50
Next Day by noon delivery £10.75
All from JPAT.
I will be placing the order on the 23rd September.
I have also just bought the switch cleaner from Maplin Ready £3.99
And just need to get the oil which is going to cost me
Dexron 3 Carlube oil from Eurocarparts £22.79 before the 25% discount.
So all in all a lot cheaper than I thought it would be thank goodness.

it never ceases to amaze me why people waste their money changing filters in the omega tranny when a simple sluice thro! with petrol, parafin or even white spirit will do.(if the filter is blocked then your tranny is already toast!!)gaskets is another , grab a tube of instant gasket and put the sumps back on, it will be fine
The sumps I want to put new gaskets on no matter what as I am not keen on using sealant on everything, but with the filter, it all depends on what state it is in. If it is perished I will change it or if the price isn't too bad from jpat I will replace it.

Thank you RobG, All makes sense again thanks to you 
But I cannot see on there sight how to order online, what I have done though, is used the list of part numbers you sent me and as you said check with them to make 100% sure they are correct for my car so emailed them my reg number and info as I am having a very busy day today. I have also asked for prices inc VAT and postage.
I have to say although I annoy a lot of people on here, this is the friendliest owners club I have ever been a member of.

I am planning on servicing my gearbox at the beginning of next month, and as per limited on budget, I am definitely buying genuine Vauxhall sump gaskets and buying oil elsewhere, but am not sure what to do about the oil filter, if it was cleaned up would it last a long time again? Or is it better just to spend the money on buying a new one?
If I can get away with cleaning the filter up, what is the best way to clean the filter up? Cheers
Nearly forgot to say, my car is the AUTOMATIC model on a 2001 facelift model.
