Title: Refuses to start
Post by: Peanuts on 15 October 2006, 09:05:50

Hi
I have a pre-facelift Omega 2.0, ( only had it two months ), if I travel 12 mile round trip, then turn off the engine, it wont re-start, I get all lights on dash, and a click from around ( it seems ) the gearlever area, is there a starter relay anywhere that could be at fault. your help would be appreciated.

ps have fitted a new battery

Regards
Peanuts

Welcome Peanuts.   :y
if you post your problem in the help section you will probably get a quicker response, although I'm not sure you will get anything today as a lot of the boys are at Santa Pod.

Peanuts

welcome, as ross said - posting in the help section will get the input you need. Dont be put off today by slow response, as almost all members on here are at santa pod, and those that arent are meeting in stirling!!

Meantime - is it turning over, whats the milage, any recent work, does it eventually start - or only after cooling down.....im thinking sensor related but if you can provide some more info....

oh and finally you may want to look in the other areas on our forum, for the paperclip test - this is a test you can do that will flash u any issues your car has on your omega computer screen, it will also help us determine the fault.

All the best
mark

Hi
