Omega General Help / Taking door panel off

« on: 07 January 2010, 18:31:11 »

This morning while defrosting the car i opened the O.S.F. window and the glass was froze to the rubber trim so it pulled all the trim away before i could stop it.
Have put most back apart from about a 6 inch piece which is inbetween the door panel and glass  so how do you get the panel off or at least enough of the top part of it just to tuck the rubber back in place

Omega General Help / Why two fuses?

« on: 08 November 2009, 00:47:02 »

having trouble with the interior lamps keep coming on on their own hence cant lock the doors as the light comes on and sets off the alarm (have posted in another section)
reading the manual it says there are TWO fuses for the courtesy lamp No.12 and No.20 i have pulled No.12 thinking if the light cant come on i can lock the car without the alarm going off wrong the alarm still goes off bit fed up now of not knowing whats going on but why??? are there 2 x fuses for the courtesy lamp and why do they work numerous other things like indicators etc etc

Omega General Help / EML would it come on if?

« on: 29 September 2009, 11:07:37 »

Saturday was driving along nicely when on turning a corner the EML came on and car started spluttering and jerking.
Pulled onto a nearby car park and the area stunk of fuel on getting out the fuel was hissing out everywhere.
Small pipe from tank to filter had corroded (fixed now) but why the EML light? i thought the engine was knacked or something and nearly had heart attack

Omega General Help / Facelift Windscreen how many?

« on: 14 September 2009, 14:40:20 »

Just had a new screen fitted (autoglass) but was asked yesterday when i initially rung them what colour tint my car had blue or green. I said it had a blue sun strip built in but they said NO not the sun strip but the whole screen so looking more green than blue i told them green, then they asked if it had aircon which it has so i said yes the end result is i now have a PURPLE tinted screen which aspparently is heat reflective (a solar screen)
How many different colours are there?

Omega General Help / Doors/Boot sensors

« on: 30 July 2009, 11:58:58 »

Where exactly are the sensors for
A) the boot and B) the doors.
Are they in the same place or not?
Just so i know where to point the keyfob to make it work the best as sometimes it doesnt seem to work from as far away as it does other times and the battery is new just 2 weeks old.

Omega General Help / Paint Sprays/Touch Ups

« on: 12 July 2009, 01:37:50 »

My car has the inevitable scratches and scuffs here and there and have been searching for a while now for either a spray or a touch up stick NO LUCK.
Anyone know if there are actually cans or sticks available as i dont think there are, can't remember the code off hand without looking and its late and hissing down but think the colour is premium blue.
There is a place nearby that will mix a can for around a tenner but it usually takes a few days so any ideas accepted cheers
