Thankyou gentlemen.
 
Tony i was gutted i couldn't make the last one but it was unavoidable due to being abroad on business

I am presuming you remove the switch from the inside of the car as opposed to from underneath? - i don't mind "experimenting" on the day!!

I am going to try and make it (in my old elite) if that is ok Tony    - I would appreciate some pointers on the gear selector cleaning process - still don't grasp the realignment bit. Will get some switch cleaner - is anything else needed? Thankyou.

P.S. A Tech 2 session would be great too!

A Paperclip test threw up a knock signal circuit 1(16) and telltale (checklight) voltage low (135).

A couple of days ago a new brake light bulb was replaced so I am not sure if this is related to 135?

Does the 16 code mean a new knock sensor or is it a red herring?

Any advice would be appreciated.

P.S. The symptoms of slow acceleration have not happened for the last week despite being driven every day.

I started the car and it was not the battery light but the engine management light on - also noticed the gear selector lights flashing like a xmas tree when moving from p to d.

Before i could do a paperclip test my brother needed to go to London, so will have to do it another time.

Brother called me and says the car struggles to get up to 20mph and the red battery light is on. Its happened a few times. Just drove car again and its ok? I'm afraid I don't have multimeters etc.. but does anyone know if this is more likely to be battery or alternator issue. I will look at the car this weekend but any pointers appreciated!

Thanks - so could I take the key to a standard key cutting shop to get a copy or is that just to naïve of me?

Thankyou - we still have one full working key (this was the "spare" before the "main" key was lost) - I will pop to the stealers and see what they quote.

Thanks I will look into this but I have just come across this and wondered if this would be programmable?

It's been a while since I've been on but my brother has my old Omega and has lost his 3 button key.

I am after a complete key with blade, little chip / all innards and a cut blade - is there a one stop shop for this as I cannot seem to find stores that do the inners or cut the blade. Might someone have an old key that I could get reprogrammed?

I understand it would need a tech 2 session. I have the car pass.

Thanks!
