Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: Removing the facelift climate control panel

« on: 24 April 2009, 17:06:16 »

If you pull out the stereo and the heated seat switches, will the climate control panel slide out easily? or is there further work involved?

Have you looked here ....... http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1152745540    

Yes I have. Problem is, it doesn't say whether the climate control unit slides out or not. It just removes the entire walnut effect fascia without a discussion on whether the climate control panel can be separated from the fascia.

Therefore I wanted to know whether after having removed the stereo and the heated seat switches directly below, if the climate control panel can be slid out?

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: CCR2006 error CDC !

« on: 29 March 2009, 10:36:31 »

Just to put you out of your misery you could be suffering from having:

1 Busted mechanical mechanism (front cover)
2 A jammed cartridge (mechanical failure to eject magazine)
3 Laser failure

In my case I have 2 & possibly 3. I can remove the cartridge by hand, gently insert screwdriver on the right hand side. But when the magazine is reinserted it comes up with the same error message.

I haven't been able to resolve mine.

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: Xenon headlights confirmation please

« on: 13 March 2009, 10:29:00 »

Yes, I was really just after a second opinion / confirmation before ordering. The only thing that put me off was that he had advertised it as a 1999 -2003. I always though 1999 was a different lamp, that all.

Is there an idiots guide to removing the headlights on a facelift, or is it fairly straight forward and therefore not one deemed necessary?

Thanks.

All plastic...you can just t cut the yellow off the lens mate...with a bit of work they will come up like new...

Cleaned the outside with rubbing compound which removes the yellowing, but how do you clean the inside? Do you have to completely remove the headlight and then the lens? The inside is very dirty.

Just wanted to know, are the headlights plastic or glass these days. If plastic, will it eventually yellow?

Thanks. So pattern refers to whether it is set up for left or right.

One other question. Is it possible to get headlights with a glass lens or are they all plastic these days? If I buy these cheaper ones off ebay (Depo) in Germany, are they likely to turn yellow quickly?

A pair of new lights here costs QR4,000 which is about GBP 750. The ones from Germany cost about GBP 400.

I found some LHD headlights on ebay, item no 370126166731, these are pattern type from Depo.

Are these any good and what is Depo or pattern headlights?

Thanks

Is it possible to buy a set of headlights from a Right hand drive car and install on a Left hand drive? Would the auto adjustment sort itself out or are the lights just set up differently?

I have those horrible plastic lenses and I'm thinking of changing the headlights altogether.
