All things aside it does look rather tidy from the pictures at least, 13 years is a long time to own any car

General Car Chat / Will these fit the FL Omega

« on: 26 April 2014, 07:54:39 »

Also would these rattle more I wonder or cure the common rattle the originals make... Mine are quiet currently unless driving on moderately/very rough surface roads thanks to silicone spray months ago, Just thought these would look good.. Anyone tried these or similar ?

General Car Chat / Not Bad At All...

« on: 06 April 2014, 22:56:38 »

Pretty happy with these MPG figures, This was today mainly on A & B roads, Outside temperature around 11oC, A/C was also on, No Motorways or Dual Carriageways.. Not driving like miss daisy either  ... Did put some Forte in it few weeks back, Wonder if that has anything to do with it... 

Past few months it's been hovering around 22mpg-27mpg... 29.2mpg best so far this year

Omega General Help / Omega FL Instrument Panel Bulbs..

« on: 01 April 2014, 23:40:51 »

..My local VX dealers haven't a clue what type the Omega have and want me to remove the fused bulbs and bring them in so they can order, Which is not happening, Why this is so complicated for them is beyond me... 

Can someone provide me with the name of the bulbs and all the different types.. or eBay links etc.

I need one main beam, EML, and right side background illumination bulb..

This would be much appreciated, VX are driving me crazy..

Interesting...

Can't seem to get the image of a Kia Pride out of my head though whenever Kia is mentioned 

Doesn't look like it's going to be sold in the UK anyway...

General Car Chat / Hmmm………............

« on: 27 March 2014, 03:46:36 »

Was just browsing as you do now and then 

..... and saw this… LINK

This appears to be one fine example of the LS430  , If only I had the cash 

These are really growing on me, LS400 not really, They look outdated, But still a hell of a car..

LS430 Going by AutoTrader figures the MPG is as good if not better than a 3.2 Omega, Would imagine those figures go out the window if floored mind.. Then again it's not the kind of car to get thrashed but to waft about in with enough oomph when needed, 0-60 around 6.7sec. Not forgetting the endless gadgets, Especially Like the idea of cooled seats for summer.

Like these as well..  But these LS460's are even more ££££ but you get a lot of car considering their price tag when new.

Omega General Help / How accurate is that Scan My Opel app ?

« on: 26 March 2014, 22:05:49 »

Thought I'd try it on the tablet.

I cleared these codes to see which came back.. No idea why some are red, orange, green.. 



These are after clearing few days later...



Along with live data (at idle)





I haven't a clue what any (well most of) that livedata means..
