Omega General Help / Re: Help needed with key fob

« on: 15 March 2007, 23:27:36 »

Thanks for the offer mark, it's very kind of you.  Unfortunatly It's my only key.  That's why I'm panicing a bit.  Should realy invest in a spare anyway!!!  

Also, if I use the key manualy.... the car locks ok, and unlocks ok, but the alarm goes off aswell when I open the door.  Is this normal???

It's the solder joint on one side of the unlock button that's gone on mine. It would probably resolder on, but not by me..... I am crap at soldering and would only make it worse.

Omega General Help / Help needed with key fob

« on: 14 March 2007, 13:42:45 »

The electronis in my key fob are knackered and I don't have a spare.  I have seen second hand ones on ebay. My question is this..... If I bought a second hand one, could it be recoded to my car or will I have to buy a new one???

Omega General Help / Re: Removing gearbox selector switch

« on: 08 February 2007, 19:19:45 »

Speak of the devil and he shall apear  

It's on the passenger side of the box, held on by 2 screws/bolts.  If the gearbox is off the car it should be a doddle.  If not, you'll need to undo the 2 bolts with a socket (10mm, I think) slide it off the selector, bolt thingy that goes into the gearbox.  You might have to unhook the gear linkage first I think.  And disconect the electrical connector block at the top (this bit is a real bugger to do).

If it's on the car and you have to jack it up, please be careful. The though of people laying under a car rested on stands makes me cringe!!!   I always feel nervous when I'm under one myself.

If you have time and a small torx bit, the switch is held together with approx 6 screws.  Might be worth a look inside to see what condition it's in.  It's quite delecate inside though, so be gentle.

Hope this helps.

Ste.

MICK,

Checked fuses and everything looks ok...  I'm not lucky enough for it to be something that simple i guess  

But it was worth a check, so thanks for the info.  Will just have to pray that it is the selector switch and nothing more serious. :-/

Cheers,

Ste.

Thanks mick, I will have a look at the fuses.  I'm pretty sure it's the selector switch by the ware inside it but I'll give anything a go at this point.... Maybe I'll get lucky and will just be a fuse.....  God I hope so!!!

Don't suppose you know which fuse it was???

Cheers,

Ste.

Well, managed to get the selector switch off.  Took it apart and it was full of gunky crap.  Have cleaned it out but it looks like there is a fare bit of ware and corrosion damage to the metal contacts/strips.  Hasn't cured the fault anyway.  It certainly looks like the likely cause of my problems.  So, next question...... Where could I get a second hand selector switch from, or does anyone have one for sale.  If anybody can help me (not a shrink.... I'm too far gone for that now), I would be eternally grateful.

Many Thanks,

Ste.

Sorry, should have asked!!!

Is this easy to do.  I'm not mechanic....  Quite technically minded though and don't mind getting my hands dirty.

Is it something a keen novice could do?

Thanks again,

Ste.
