Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Canbus

Unsure exactly what a canbus system is ? and does a 2003 Elite have this system or not ?

Electrics are not my strong point ;D

Omega General Help / B Bolt on 3.2
« on: 18 January 2014, 17:40:54 »
Well as work had quitened off today and weather dry decided to replace the doddgy thermostat on my 3.2 Elite.

After the usual vast amount of removing bits to get to the culprit eventually got it out along with managing to seperate the coolant pipe from stat body,despite having new pipe just incase.

Thought not too bad a job so decided to get things back together as had time today...3 hours later and despite my best efforts I cant get that B bolt to go back in.Can get it to locate fine with just the coolant pipe bracket and dipstick tube but when trying to fit the engine lifting tag I cannot get that bolt to pass through all 3 bits and locate into the head.I have tried pushing a thin drift through but still cannot get it to go through the 3 bits so somehow lifting tag isnt aligning properly.Really dont remember this much grief on my 2.5 when I did that but this is just silly.The lifting tag has a smaller hole below B bolt and also a curved plate at the end.Does this locate into a slot on the head area to get it all aligned ?

Have decided to call it a day today and may go for another attempt on Monday now but would appreciate any advise as to how this aligns.

As an aside whilst having alook around the top of the engine noticed that somebody before my ownership had been at the oil cooler maybe replacing it or sealing a new plate.On the N/S the middle plate bolt is "Missing" and had feared the bolt had been sheared off.On closer inspection hole was full of much but no evidence of a coolant leak so hopefully the 2 bolts on that side and the sealant are doing the job.Question is should I replace the bolt as have ran a tap into the hole and now its clean the thread seems to be sound just worried that I may crack the sealant if I now fit a bolt as remember the cooler goo goes brittle .Dont like the knowledge of a bolt missing but worried I may cause problems if I touch things there

Again any advise greatly appreciated

Omega General Help / Failing Thermostat
« on: 19 December 2013, 08:21:27 »
Lots of previous post on forum about thermostats partialy working.

If a thermostat is failing to fully open and car is always running below correct temperature what is the additional fuel consumption as a %.

Reason for question is my newly acquired 3.2 struggles to get gauge above 80 and top hose gets hot slowly not with a surge so failing stat seems to be the problem,but would like to understand what is the potential cost in fuel to driving with stst not functioning corectly

Omega General Help / Just to be sure

Hunting this "headlight warning error" and hope I have now eliminated most potential faults.

After good advise from Taxi Al have established that when parked around 3.0mtrs from wall on level ground ,headlights are turned on and then ignition both of the beam patterns move very slightly which I am assumimg means the motors inside both lights are working.

Attached a cheapo code reader which brought up fault code 3410 and advised low voltage to front headlight level sensor so just awaiting receipt of replacement then hopefully the problem will be resolved.

Quetion is about the headlight movement...should this really only be a very slight movement when ignition turned on ..more of a "jump" but both lights are doing the same.
