Strange thing is that the omega i have just sold i only had to touch the button and it opened, so when i did the same to the one i have just bought and it didnt open i thought it was faulty...But oh no  twas user error    :D

I've only owed a MFL car  ....... the good ooking model  ::) ...... so have never had the problem with an Omega. I believ Vauxhall chnaged the operation of he button from a simple push to open, to what you have on later cars. I/we have a Smart Roadster Coupe that has a push to open switch ...... I'd like that to work like you later Omega does, I've caught the buton a few times now which means jumping out at ligghts/etc to shut it again! ;D (forunately the Smart is smart enough to prevent it from being opened when on the move  ;))

You could always do the "Hilper mod", meaning your boot/tailgate will open with one short press, with keys in or out, on the move too.
