Omega Electrical and Audio Help / towbar wiring

« on: 16 April 2009, 21:22:30 »

I'm going to fit a towbar to my facelift saloon, is it correct that there's a pre-wired loom I can use behind the rear boot panel?

is there any general problems with this? I've fitted and wired towbars to various cars over the years, but never to an Omega.

 grateful for any help and advice

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / CD Sat Nav upgrade

« on: 05 January 2009, 20:29:48 »

I want to upgrade the CDR2005 in my 2000 2.2 CD, I'm looking for better sound, and fitted sat nav, I keep reading different posts about the different displays  and systems available.

how good or bad is the BOSE system? I know a lot of this is down to personal taste, but for me the more it looks factory fitted the better, but saying this I have been thinking about an aftermarket double din unit with sat nav, but I'm sure that there must be better options.

which models have the BOSE system fitted, is it likely to be hiding somewhere behind my dash and just needs activating?

opinions please before I go out and buy a new Tom Tom, and leave the HU standard

Omega General Help / Autobox problem 2.2 facelift

« on: 19 November 2009, 16:39:49 »

Hello, any advice please, While driving to work this morning, the engine rev's died, the engine management light came on, and "Automatic Gearbox" on the display. the car limped back home in what I believe is safe mode. When I got home this afternoon, I tried it again, and this time starts no problem, the EML has gone out, and the dash display is clear. I plan to check the ATF level at the weekend just in case, but has anyone else got any other ideas on what it could be?   Thanks, Chris

Omega General Help / Cruise control 2000 2.2 facelift

« on: 10 February 2009, 20:53:31 »

I'm thinking of adding CC to my 2.2 facelift, as far as I'm aware all I need is to fit the relevant stalk, and then have it activated via tech2, is this correct?

does the stalk of any model fit, or does it have to be facelift, and is it engine size specific?

Omega General Help / Tech 2 before servcie

« on: 08 February 2009, 15:30:21 »

as soon as it gets a bit warmer, I plan on doing a full service on the mig, is it worth having it read by a scanner to see if any codes are there? or would this not be any benefit?

Omega General Help / facelift headlight, what fits

« on: 28 January 2009, 19:38:08 »

looks like I've definately got to get a new headlight, I've seen one advertised on an auction site which says 97-99 is this the mini facelift era? will it fit my 2000 facelift? or do I need to look at facelift models only?

if I end up having to find one at a scrappy, I will feel better knowing what fits what.

thanks in advance

Car failed MOT today on OSF h/lamp adjustment, the guy at my local garage (who I trust) said he had a quick go but couldn't get the beam to come across. Any ideas anyone before I source a new light.

I'm going to Service the Mig next weekend for the first time since buying it, is there any general preferences out there for manufacturer of items, eg NGK or Vx for spark plugs, factor parts for filters? what oil?

any opinions welcome, the cars done 85k and i dont think it had much tlc last year, time to give it some pampering I think
