 ok i can only hope its the right code
   have tried this:  ignition off, radio off, press and hold "AS" button, radio on, release "AS" button , enter code using keypad, switch radio on, the key was in the ignition whilst doing this, have also tried with ignition on,
  always same result, radio goes from "SAFE" to "RADIO SAFE" ,  no try attempt countdown :-?

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / ccrt700

« on: 23 August 2009, 11:55:58 »

 well thanks everbody for the warm welcome to the forum
 my omega came with the ccrt700 (phillips siemans stereo) with phone kit , still atached and blaupunkt cd changer in the boot.
  the guy i bought it off had got the car from a friend in leu of money owed and when i bought it he said he didn,t know the code for the stereo.
  however, i found a scrap of paper in the center box, with radio code written on it, and a 4 digit code.
  ive tried the method described on here, to activate the code but to no avail 
  all i get is the "safe" message on the dash display when the radio is off, and "radio safe" when its switched on 
 i have been using the keypad on the right of the unit to enter the code, the changer in the boot will eject the mag and try and load when re inserted.
 i have a spare head unit i can stick in it but it would be nice to use the original equipment.
  also, how the hell do you set the clock on the dash display ?, i cant figure it out, and its stuck on 0.00 and the date is stuck on 1998 (the year the car was made)
  well thanks for reading this, and any advice given

another newbie,
 i liitle about me, and my miggy?
 onlyjust discovered this site, looks pretty good too
not long just bought my omega, used to run a couple of carltons many years ago, the MK1 version,(saggy in nerwings) then a opel , then a MK2 carlton
 went 3 yrs without a car, just my pushbike, then saw my omega for sale round the corner from where i work (very cheap) and took the plunge, so far so good
 now the 3rd keeper of a mettalic green, 2.5 v6 (ECO-TEK) cdx, its got a couple of rust patches a few scratches and a slightly road worn look, but it goes like stink, and all the important stuff works. always loved the look of the omega
 MOT due in mid sept, fingers crossed it goes through with out too much pain, brakes may need some attention, handbrake needs adjusting (easy job?)
  i drive a truck on uk work, wrong side of 40, 4 children, and 2 grandchildren
 well thats me folks, thanks for reading

General Car Chat / nice to be back....

« on: 13 March 2011, 22:00:59 »

.........behind the wheel of a miggy.
 well my old cdx bit the dust, pretty dire reliability problems and an enormous thirst led to its demise, couldnt afford to waste anymore money on it, kind of like flogging a dead horse really, so although iloved a lot of things about my omega it was time to get rid.
 bought a pug diesel for the reliability but it turned out to be a nail, then ended up in my partners cast off corsa,  :(but i missed that big old miggy, so isaved my pennys and bought an mv6 estate
 well its not got all the toys, but its got the kit i wanted, reasonable millage for its year, and loads of history and old bills, and in a fetching shade of mettalic green, the same colour as my old cdx.
 so i,m back for a look around and i thought i,d say hello.

always liked them rovers, had a spate of SD1,s, followed by a few 800,s, then when i was looking for a big classy estate it was a toss up between a mg ztt, volvo estate or a v6 mig, the miggy had the best space and to be honest i think is the better car, but it was a close run thing between the mg ztt or my mv6

  would have liked to tackle the pads and discs myself but, gave all my kit away after the divorce (lack of space) so if i want to try a service i would first need to buy some new kit, got quoted £120 for the service, wich i thought sounded pretty resonable.
   got a slight leak on the rocker cover gasket, witch i think seems to be a common fault on the v6, s , and it looks like a knightmare job, so i think i might trust the proffesionals rather than make a mess of it myself

General Car Chat / mot time (deep breaths, cross fingers)

« on: 12 September 2009, 09:17:54 »

  hello all
   well the moment i had been dreading had finally arrived, having not long just bought the car i wasnt sure how she would do.
   knew the brakes needed attention, and maybe the exhaust, but it was all pretty much an unknown.
  asked my sister to take it for me and borrowed her corsa in the mean time (aaargh) as i was busy at work, and left instructions to get a quote for any repairs that might need doing (and if it would help , she could offer to sleep with the tester to get a pass)
   well, miggy failed, as i thought it would, BUT, it wasnt too bad. new front pads and discs, new track rod end, broken rear coil spring, hand brake adjusters siezed, stop light bulb (i checked the buggers before i went!)
  £285 quid later , i was the proud owner of a crisp new mot certificte, and the miggy stops better too
  couple of advisory items, front bushes and brake pipes, but nothing too bad and i,m over the moon.
  saving my pennys for a service now, and gonna try and fix the sunroof, and go on DND s site and get the cd multichanger de coded.
   for a car that only cost £325 quid , i am a very happy bunny
  thanks for reading, please excuse the poor spelling grammer, lol.
