Actually it wasn't the 3.0,it was an early 2.0 that wasn't OBD compatible, I stand corrected.

Can you do the pedal trick on a 3.2? did it on the 3.0 which worked OK.

Omega General Help / Intermittent spanner light.
« on: 17 September 2024, 12:08:25 »
I'm getting the spanner warning light coming on now and again, code reader says 1 DTC found, but never a code. I've tried it a few times but nothing, and car the is running perfectly. I know this is one of those 'how long is a piece of string?'' questions, but I've got a 500mile rounder to do next week and don't want to push my luck with a possible developing fault......if there is one??

Would that be behind the kick panel? as I took a look at the diagrams for it in the obvious places, and no luck

Worth investigation, I guess there must be access to the relay.....but as I say electrickery is not a strong point, so didn't fancy chasing my tail. I'm guessing the relay location is in the under bonnet fuse box?

Thanks, I've fitted battery isolators to all three now, just because of the lack of use and the coming winter weather. Also all the batteries are now fitted with C-Tek connectors which makes keeping them charged that much easier.

Ahh! you mean hitting it with the biggest hammer in the box 
but did the next thing....fitted a battery isolator, that'll do for the winter as the cars don't get used much. Thanks for the explanation Al

Is there any way to completely disconnect the immobiliser on the Elite.....got a strange feeling that it's draining the battery down, power sounder was removed a few years back.....BTW electrickery is not high on my skill set.

Omega General Help / Is it time?
« on: 30 August 2024, 18:53:04 »
Looking at the mileage on one of the 3.2's now showing at 251,000 miles I was wondering whether the time has come to change to a different grade of oil. This car has had documented oil changes every 3 thousand miles from new, and for the last ten years probably that period has come down to a thousand or a bit less. I'm only asking as a couple of people have suggested using a thicker grade, would appreciate your thoughts TIA

Nick W, the man at VX he say''no'' and various searches haven't turned up anything so far. Possibly somewhere there may be a small amount of new old stock which may eventually surface, so in the meantime I guess it's watch and wait.

I'm getting low on the plastic door bushes, was thinking whether anyone ever found an alternative replacement, i.e Corsa,Vectra etc......getting fed up with the stealers blank looks when asking for anything, as it's computer says no for virtually everything now.

Omega General Help / Steering dust covers MOT advisories.
« on: 09 May 2024, 16:54:43 »
Took one of the 3.2's in for a MOT today, and got some advisories. i.e track rod end ball joint dust cover damaged or deteriorated X2,. Also Steering linkage ball joint dust cover damaged or deteriorated. So took a look on ebay, but came away clue less, as it seems that there appears to be a range of sizes. Any advice as to the correct items would be appreciated. TIA

« on: 25 April 2024, 07:07:45 »
I have tried the ideas offered, but all the bulbs are to long and won't seat. So possibly that's why the H1 was used as they are a bit shorter and fit, maybe as a bodge. So will have to have a rethink, and have a look through Halfrauds bulb shelf, just to see if they have a 35w/55w H1 option.
