Oh mechanic arrived and went for new fuse. Replaced fuse turned ignition on and it blew immediately.

Fuse is the one in the carrier that is directly above the battery. There is far be fuses in total in there, and it's the only 30 amp

Ok I'm sat waiting for Green Flag so though as eml is not on if check all the connections around the fuse boxs. Found the large green 30a fuse blown in first black box that Is situated above the battery. I'm guessing this is significant.

I'm guessing this is significant and may answer the reason why the eml light is not coming on

Omega General Help / Broken Down 2.6

Ok here's a weird one for you with more knowledge. 2.6 auto 2001.

I was driving along at 30 when we entered the 60 zone I accelerated slightly and the whole engine cut out. No eml light on so I just rolled it into the nearest entrance and tried to restart. The engine just turns over and does not fire at all.

Turned ignition off and back on and I noticed the eml is not lighting up at all even on just turning the ignition on which I thought it did. Tried pedal check and still no eml. Car still just turning over like there's no fuel however I've just put £40 in and yes I've checked the receipt it was petrol lol

I've phoned green flag to get her sorry butt dragged home but with no eml I have no idea where to start, any ideas

No there's no other car keys on the key ring. I have however taken the key apart, cleaned and put back together.

Since then it hasn't done it again so hopefully fault solved.

When I first start it there's nothing, then after it cuts out and you try to restart it then the eml is flashing.

After I've left it a while, this doesn't flash

Omega General Help / More Fault Codes

« on: 03 April 2016, 14:09:11 »

Ok this one is strange. My 2001 2.6 started acting strange.

Occasionally on start up she would just die straight after starting and bring the eml on. Try restarting and she just turns over. However leave it a couple of minutes and she fires straight up and runs fine, on checking the fault codes I get the following:

1110 Intake manifold valve voltage
1612 Immoboliser no or wrong signal Immoboliser
1613 Immoboliser no or wrong signal Immoboliser

I have no idea what any of these are and could cause, any ideas folks???

From what I can see there the same, but maybe someone else knows different 👍

I've never had to change one before.

I'd say bearing collapsing or running dry.

Start by removing aux belt and turn the tensioner by hand, mine sounded like this when it was on its way out.

Car Parts, bits For Sale & Wanted / Wanted - 2.6 Rear Multi-ram

« on: 12 March 2016, 21:22:20 »

As above really looking for a rear multi-ram for my 2.6.

It's the part that bolts to the rear of the plenum, has two bolts retaining it, two small bore hoses and a power connector that goes into it.

Yes that's the part. Bolted to the plenum on the corner with two small hoses to it, however this has snapped and ripped out the two copper wires so I think a new/replacement one is needed.

I will post in wanted. It starts ok and ticks over but not taken it for a drive yet, will teach me to be more careful in future

Omega General Help / 2.6 Advice

« on: 12 March 2016, 14:16:53 »

Ok I'm replacing the heater bypass valve on my 2.6 2001. I e removed scuttle and plenum and just fastening last spring clip on hose when I leant on the plenum and I heard a crack.

I had forgot to remove multi plug from the connector at the back right hand side of plenum. Question A what is this and question B will it run without it while I source a new one. Connector is fine, the part has broke in two separating the Diode and wires inside. Feel an idiot for not removing it and thought things were going well.

I've searched all my parts and think I left my only spare on the plenum I binned.
