General Car Chat / Corsa Brake light problem.as in they dont work?

« on: 19 November 2017, 19:55:41 »

Corsa 2005, C I think.

Checked Bulbs ok (upper led one doesn't work either), checked volts on bulb holders, nothing, checked earth on bulb clusters, ok, checked fuse, ok, checked fuse for volts on fuse holder, nothing, did a Peddle Trick (to check the Brake peddle switch), that works fine, stops giving codes when brake peddle is released.

Any ideas? Relay somewhere? something Im missing, any weird about these Corsa's, poss still could be Brake Peddle switch if its a multi wire type?.

General Discussion Area / This sort of thing really Pisses me off.

Whats wrong with people today, surely if folk choose to sit in a Designated Disabled Seat on a Train, Bus, etc, then you should be prepared to give it up for the needed.

Omega General Help / Another Crank Sensor question.

« on: 13 November 2017, 16:59:07 »

Ok with reference to the later 2.6 and 3.2 Oval Plug ones, are all the Oval ones the same now?, ie, Oval plug fits all?, or are we still doing  the need to be the correct Part Number to be the same as the one that came out? Thanks.

If they are different whats the part number range for the later V6's please.

General Car Chat / Found This - MID Type Information Computer for Older Type Vauxhalls.

« on: 12 November 2017, 20:52:10 »

I know some of you (including myself) also run older style Opel's / Vauxhall's that never had the MID type Info Computers option, ever wondered how easy or difficult it would be to retro fit one?, normally a non starter. Well I found this, an Czech Website that does that, add on modules that will power older style TID's into Info Computers.

Maybe of use to someone?

Omega General Help / Fault Code 2106

« on: 02 November 2017, 16:20:44 »

Ive the Following Codes, spanner light on.
0650
2106
1612

3.2, been stood for a while, new battery, fired up first time, no issues, then after a min or 2 starts to stutter, initial thoughts was missfire, restarted, fine then stutter again, go to pull away drops revs, almost like fuel starvation.

Peddle tricked for codes, I think the 0650 may be one of the bulbs is out (airbag?), googled code 2106, comming back as generic, Throttle / Peddle Sender? Is this the case for Omega?

Car now wont start, it does but ticks over low then stalls, any effort on the throttle stalls striaght away. Going to consetrate on this fault first but where to start???, help pleasd.

Code 1612 could be a red herring as batt now low (no flashing Spanner).

General Car Chat / ELM327 Bluetooth OBD2 Dongle Offer £1.21 Delivered.

« on: 01 November 2017, 15:44:51 »

ELM327 Bluetooth OBD2 Dongle, cheap n cheerfull but does what it says on the tin, Ive used these before (when Im not loosing them) and they work fine with the ScanMyOpel App.

These are slim enough to fit in the ODB2 Port on the Omega so that you can still shut the fuse box lid, so good for driving around (Live Data). but dont forget and leave them in as they could flatten the Battery after a while.

ELM327 Bluetooth OBD2 Car Diagnostic Interface Tool  -  BLUE £2.90
On Check Out Use CODE ELM327UK                             Total £1.21

Free Shipping on a Slow Boat from China, or for less than a Quid more, can come as Registered with Tracking Number.

General Discussion Area / Birmingham - Roundabouts

« on: 13 October 2017, 16:11:43 »

Having just spent another week up there, I know its a great place and they are lovely people (abeit they talk a bit funny  ), but my real beef is why do Brummies insist on calling Roundabouts, Islands?, and when I asked what they call there Islands (oylands) meaning kerbed bollards, I get a funny look. 

And what about SatNavs that must be confusing for them or is there a Special Midlands Speech pack you can download for it.

Anyone know, and what do you call Roundabouts in your area.
