No problems with speedo. There was a thump when it eventually changed up. It sticks in the low gear, revs hit the roof, then it leapt forward. After stopping, restarting, all has returned to normal. Gearbox oil was changed by James after it happened three years ago. Mileage since is a very few thousand, under ten.

Thanks for the replies. I know you chaps know more than me. But what is causing it. Since the light came on the other day, and went out as normal after restart, It has behaved perfectly again. There has to be a reason. How can a fault disappear for two/three years then pop up again, then disappear again.  :(
Baffled from Brackley !!! ;)

Oh...btw, the car has done 79,000 miles (gently driven) :y

Omega General Help / Spanner light update
« on: 15 November 2019, 15:09:28 »
Hi all, this is a continuation of my previous post from March this year
 
https://www.omegaowners.com/forum/index.php?topic=144508.msg1895652#msg1895652

Since this post, and TB finding nothing wrong, the light has come on again. The smells I thought were oil, turns out to be water from leaks under the scuttle.
Chris found rusty water in the plug wells. It has NOT come from the engine, as the water level is constant full. New dis packs have been purchased but not yet fitted.
Old ones damaged.
Now...the spanner light. When Chris picked the car up, he said the light came on, when going slow, and went into limp mode. On restart, no light. I have come down to Dorset, car ran a dream. I have done nearly 200 miles, but yesterday, I had to stop on a hill in Corfe. When I was able to carry on, the car stayed in low gear, revs hit the roof, then a big jump as it changed up, and the spanner light came on. It drove ok to Swanage. On restart, it performed as though nothing had happened, no light and is still ok.
Chris said he was going very slow uphill, and my situation was the same. On torturing the wife for earlier details, it seems its the 'slow' is the common denominator.
Chris thinks, possibly a sump off job/service, which it could probably do with. Any other ideas or similar experience.  There is no noise from the box, and changes are normal (imo)

Me and the other half are like quivering wrecks tonight.....every time a firework goes off, we leap under the table, expecting the roof to cave in as half a garage  (or worse) falls from the sky. There has to be a law against it !!! :(

Oh bugger...he is at it again. I suppose I have to get the blast proof shields out !! :(

Did think of Tunnie's, but I assume he will sell the engine complete. :)

Omega General Help / Coil packs
« on: 03 November 2019, 14:29:53 »
Hi chaps...
Coil packs on my 2.6, 2003 vintage, are cracked in places, and also rear ones are rusty. Obviously ingress of water into bores. Now cleaned out, and scuttle and wiper spindle sealed ( I hope).
Need new coil packs. are both banks the same, and is there a variation of the connector. Visual ads seem to show oval type.

Thanks

Reference our chat, TB...my comps run on unbuffered Non-ECC ram. DDR3.
If you have spare sticks that you are going to 'dump', send them this way. The more I have for my flight sim here and at the caravan, the better. :)

Real shame about the ECC stuff, that would have been the bees knees !!! But it won't run on my PC's :(

Thanks to TB for the computer....I now have a computer that is nice and quiet in the bedroom so I can watch iplayer and Amazon video, etc.
Bloody near broke my back carrying it upstairs, but worth the hassle. :)
Thanks, TB...much obliged. :)
