Hi Greg,

Welcome to the site  :y

We need a little more information to help you out there, is your car a facelift Omega or pre-facelift?

Easiest way to check this is you electric windows, are the buttons for the windows:

on the centre column (gear stick area) =  pre-facelift
on the door = facelift

2000 was just on the changer over.... so thats why we need to know as there were some major changes in the design  :y

There's a "how to" for the washer jets here (http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1152616577).

1) Switch can be a prob, check switch with meter
2) Blocked gauze, check link Bo Bo sent
3) As this car is new to you, check you have actuator and cable under bonnet. Check stalk is correct on. Check correct brake and clutch switch fitted
4) If its leather, can be a PITA. Cloth apparently easier. Before doing, check wiring to seat, but be careful with side airbags and seltbelt pretensioner!!

1) I would need to check the diags. Yes, failed switch could stop it working
2) :y
3) Are there 2 throttle cables going to throttle body - one goes through bulkhead to pedal, other goes to actuator mounted on driver side inner wing...
4) PITA = Pain In The Ass

they do one for the pre-facelift, the engine is the same on the facelift models, most of the mechanicals are the same anyway ...

Hayes say the differences in the facelift did not warrent a new book.

However since you have a 2.5 that is much the case, your engine is the same as pre-facelift.

Got the crusie control sorted had a clsoer look at the actuator cable this morning and the 'ribbon' going in to it was snapped, so got another of a preface lift from the local scrappys for a tenner and now is working fine :y

the electric window is really confusing me the switches seem ok checked the passenger that was fine but tomuch going on in the drivers to see really where to check. on sat im going to take of the door card and check the motor and conectionshopefully this will sort.

Also going to look at the heated seat on saturday, anyone got anyideas where to start looking.

thanks for all the help so far hopefully one day ill be in a position to pass on my wisdom.
