Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: A weird one to do with lighting...

« on: 03 December 2006, 13:49:47 »

I've never had a car that doesn't do this!

I've never had a car do it before!  Just looks weird with only one side of the car lit!

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / A weird one to do with lighting...

« on: 03 December 2006, 09:23:01 »

I've noticed that my facelift Omega has developed an interesting quirk whereby when the engine isn't running, pressing the indicator stalk into position will enable the side light and tail light for that side.  So if stalk is sat like / then the left hand side side light and tail light come on, and if the stalk is sat like \ then the right side lights come on.  As soon as the ignition is turned, the indicators operate as normal...

Any ideas guys?

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Foglight question for you guys

« on: 01 October 2006, 18:42:03 »

seeing as this should be the wealth of all knowledge regarding the Omega, hopefully you can help me and my garage solve an issue that has stumped us both.  As my car is a *cough* GLS, and so the foglights have been retrofitted, they need to be wired up.  Now the eBay seller included the wiring to connect up to the loom, but neither me nor my mechanic can see where the f**k it connects to!

Any help greatfully received (esp any with pics!)

Omega General Help / Cool Running Thermostats - Question!

« on: 05 December 2006, 13:49:07 »

Some of you may have seen this elsewhere, but trying to get as much info as possible!

I've been tempted by the cool running thermostats as sold by Courtenay et al.  I used to have a Rover K-Series, hence the fear of overheated heads!

Thing is, they all say they will cut the fan in around 10° lower than normal, but as far as I know, the X20XEV engine is thermostatically controlled to have the fans cut in at 92°.  Now my Omega tends to operate around the 85° mark during median temperatures with 22-24 on the climate.  Wouldn't this mean my fans were constantly on?  Anyone tried them and can give me real world input on this?

Omega General Help / Re: Front brake upgrade

« on: 01 October 2006, 18:46:24 »

I must admit there are times when my Omega's brakes are less than inspiring.  I've been wondering about upgrading them, as I think the 2.0 rotors are 280mm items, compared to 290 on the V6 models.  I have thought about seeing if Hi-Spec or someone like that would be able to supply 315mm items, ideally with a four pot caliper.  Rears are probably fine though

Not bad for a guy that lives in Telford eh

Not bad at all, although I did manage to spot a non-descript section of dual carriageway in Peterborough in a camera technique book yesterday

Very nice barge there

As a stab in the dark, would the top two photos be at the priory car park in Tynemouth?

Indeed, I was at Spanish Battery for those, well spotted!

You can have 1/4 point for that.  It's a bit special (even though the paintwork is knackered!), so if you can describe it that'll be good enough!

YEAH I HAVE TO AGREE iT IS A VERY SPECIAL mpv, I'll accept the 1/4 point, and leave the rest down to fate, as I am not really up on foreign mpv's.  

It's called a GT Resort.  Evo 3 running gear with a MPV shell.  Rare on the UK roads, so my mate enjoys beating the Saxos, Corsas, etc that try it on!
