Omega General Help / Lowering Springs - Help?

« on: 22 June 2009, 12:20:52 »

Hi,

We use one of the ex-police Omega's we have for trackdays and whilst it has been fun cornering on the door handles, it is time to get the suspension upgraded.

The question is...  with what?

Your opinions please?

What experiences have you had with aftermarket springs and suspension kits?

Don't want to spend a fortune, but equally don't want to waste money on crap lowering springs that ruin the ride and make the car handle like poo.....

Look forward to responses, cheers!

Martin.

Omega General Help / Brake Upgrade

« on: 22 June 2009, 12:41:36 »

Hi,

Anyone know of any decent brake upgrades for the front of the Omega?

Do Vauxhall Monaro calipers/discs fit, or Pontiac GTO is the same car in the States, I think?

Cheers,

Martin.

Omega General Help / Air Con....

« on: 09 July 2009, 09:27:47 »

My A/C kept going hot after a few weeks and the A/C man diagnosed a leak on the condensor. So I got a new, aftermarket, condensor for £119 inc VAT - is that a good price? It was vastly cheaper than the £350 that VX wanted. In changing the condensor the Radiator sprung a leak, must have just been old and fragile, and I souced a new, again aftermarket, item for £80, which again was vastly cheaper than the £230 that VX wanted..... Did I do good, or are there even cheaper sources out there?

Cheers,

Martin.

Omega General Help / Heated seats

« on: 18 January 2009, 19:26:45 »

Hi,

I have an ex-Police omega 3.2 manual '04 plate.

It has poverty spec cloth interior and is NOT heated and has 'blank' switches on the dash.

I have bought a leather heated trim.

Questions;

Does every Omega have the same loom?
Is it plug and play - get the switches and away we go?
Do I need the whole loom from seat to switch to enable me to conect them?

Cheers,

Martin.

Omega General Help / Exhaust

« on: 29 December 2008, 10:14:43 »

Hi,

I need to replace my exhaust on my 3.2 V6. It has rusted through on the joint between the middle section and back box, on both pipes (normal I think?)

Should I go for a OE Vauxhall replacement or an aftermarket one?

Any idea what I should be paying for either?? Happy to fit myself as I have access to a 2-poster ramp, etc.

Cheers,

Martin.

Omega General Help / Brake hoses

« on: 10 August 2008, 11:40:42 »

Hi,

The flexible brake hoses on the front of an 03 reg facelift omega (from the body of the car to the caliper itself) - are they the same fittings as the earlier style Omega - i.e. are the pipes interchangable between old and new shape cars?

Thanks,

FYS

Omega General Help / HELP! Headlight removal...

« on: 05 July 2008, 15:17:38 »

How do I remove the headlamps from my 04 reg Omega?

I can't see a way of changing the main beam bulbs without removal and I can only see two bolts on the top slam panel that secure them.....

Anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks,

Martin

Nothing to do with me, a mate sent me the linky and suggested I buy it to replace my crashed car.

Cheers,
