**Omega General Help / Re: Thievin Bas*ard**

« on: 25 November 2008, 17:12:55 »

I have a spare one with a 5mm stud. I bought it for my 2.6 facelift but unfortunately the stud is the wrong size, I need 4mm. If you think it would be suitable for your Mig let me know.

Omega General Help / Re: What are these wires for?

I have got the same wires on my 2001 Elite saloon and have often wondered what they are. Hope somebody will know.

Omega General Help / Re: 2.6 V6 MPG Figures

« on: 09 May 2008, 18:57:58 »

Most of my driving is of the around town variety and I record about the same MPG as you. Fortunately my annual mileage is only about 5-6k so the fuel bill is not a mayor consideration. That was my reasoning behind buying the 2.6 as opposed to something more sensible, and then within a couple of months of me buying it, we had the budget, and the £440 road tax announcement!

As a long haired one who has had a pint of hypoid (from a Singer Vogue) squirted over my head, I can confirm that the smell is awful!

Best get some Fairy Liquid in

Omega General Help / 2.6 V6 Number of Valves

« on: 21 February 2008, 19:15:04 »

I assumed that my 2001 2.6 Elite had 24 valves, but when I was speaking to the local Vauxhall dealer today he stated that is was 12 valves. Is he correct?

Hello.

My owners manual is missing the pages refering to cruise control. Can anybody please tell me how to operate the cruise control, Omega 2.6 Elite. Thanks in advance,

Omega General Help / Re: Elite electrical problems

« on: 03 February 2008, 15:25:37 »

Thanks very much for the replies.

I thought the reversing / blind thing was b******s, the dealer has apparently ordered a new blind for me, but now I know for certain that the reversing sensor isn't connected, he can sort that out at the same time!

None of the heated seat lights illuminate, so again I guess that sounds like a fuse. The dealer can look at that at the same time.

As for the boot switch having to be pressed in for 3 seconds or so, I wondered who would be the first to spot that! (feel a bit silly now).

Thanks again,

Richard.

Omega General Help / Elite electrical problems

« on: 03 February 2008, 14:39:23 »

Hello all.

After 10 years with a Carlton I have just bought an Omega 2.6 Elite and I have a few of little problems with it.

The rear blind will not go up properly and the reversing sensor emits a continues beep when reverse is selected. The dealer has told me that the two problems are connected as the blind automatically goes up when reverse is selected, and as it's not working properly that causes the beep from the reversing sensor! Sounds like nonsense to me, but I thought I would check with the experts before going any further.

None of the heated seats work, but to me that suggests a fuse rather than switches / heat pads?

The boot will not open with the internal switch but is fine with the remote, the switch itself perhaps?

Any thoughts or ideas gratefuly received.

PS. Other than the above the Omega is fantastic, wish I had bought one years ago!

Richard.
