Set it to Auto mode... It's not particularly well explained, but it is mentioned in the manual 

I have neither the car nor manual any more .....

The steering box isn't adjustable.

That's to say, get it half a smidgen of a gnats arse wrong and you'll be fitting a new one...

Omega General Help / Re: V6 Rear Crank Seal

If the mounting face has any damage at all, it will leak.

More important to be meticulous about not marking the housing than how to fit the seal.

That said, press it home evenly until it is flush block of clean pine and a rubber mallet should do the job...

iirc, Haynes references the process

Haynes isn't the correct wiring diagram for your car, but we've already been through that.

I still think your problem is butchery behind the fuse box.

There isn't a speedo sender on the Omega B

What's the 2? pin connector on the rear of the box then? High on the box, just in-front of the prop-shaft flange.

Presumably it's the gearbox output sender... Tells the gearbox ecu what the propshaft is doing relative to the input shaft for shifting purposes.

Omega B speedo is ABS ecu generated... BlRt wire that connects the ABS ecu to everything else. Literally.

She didn't sell all the hospitals, schools or gold
