Pop the rear door wiring out of the B post on your car and the breaker... if they have the same number of wires at the car side of the plug, then you simply need the front door switch and loom along with a large 30 amp fuse to go in the missing space in the fuse box beneath the steering column

If you have that extra wiring at the B post, and are swapping all four doors, then all you will need is the fuse

Might as well swap the ignition barrel, immobiliser ring and engine ecu over as well, then that way all the locks will match the new drivers door, which will save having to strip both doors to swap the barrel over does rather assume you have more than one key for the donor car though...

Would love to, but i've just sold the ECU set on ebay from the donor car! :/

Probably going to need the whole loom as well from the Drivers and back doors for the electric windows to work at the rear.

Heated seats same thing, if not there, Loom, relays?, switches at the back etc.

I plan on swapping all the doors complete as they are, that covers it surely?

Omega General Help / Electric Windows rear conversion and heated seats - GLS to CD

Right, i've got a X plate 2.2 Omega GLS, obviously by Omega standards, its pauper spec, but its getting there slowly.

Its now got pre-facelift Elite alloy wheels, i've fitted the front foglights, i've got the 'wood' trim around the console and gearstick, now its time to do more.

I've bought a 2.2 Y plate Omega donor from a mate that was simply going to scrap it, autobox failure, but most of the rest of the car is alright, done less than 80,000 miles

As it happens, the bottoms of the back doors on my Omega are rusty, so what I want to do, is simply swap the doors over in their entirety, given that they are electric on the CD as well.

Now, if I swap the door over, (its the same colour as well which is a bargain!), and fit the 4 way switch to my existing drivers door, will this be enough to mean that the electric windows will now be active in my GLS?

Other than maybe a fuse, generally Vauxhalls are quite generous with upgrading certain items.

Also, my drivers seat in my car is electric up and down, the seats in the CD are heated and electric up and down.  I did a test run of fitting the electric heated seat switches into mine to see if the loom was present at that end, and yes they were, they light up when you put the headlights on, and turning the dials activates the LED to show they are 'heating' the seat.

But obviously I need to know if the wiring is there in the floor to actually connect the CD seats into my GLS and will activate the heated seat function.

Ta in advance.

Omega General Help / mfd wiring in facelift omega

« on: 02 November 2013, 20:26:29 »

Just to confirm what I suspect, my 2.2 auto x plate omega GLS won't have the MFD wiring hidden anywhere will it?  I've found a cruise control plug for the stalk but not plug for the MFD or stalk.

Right, update to this thread.

Picked up an R reg 3.0 v6 Elite today, been stood up three years with head gasket failure.......fired up first turn of the key and drove onto the truck 

Unfortunately its not viable to put back on the road, but want to utilise bits of it for my 2.2 facelift,

I don't fancy putting the entire Bose system in, but will the speakers be a first replacement?
Guessing the leather won't fit and the xenon lights won't be a straight fit.

I presume you're talking a combination of sensors and airbags.  This preface lift Elite has side airbags, surely it has the sensors as well?

I also don't want to waste this car and want anyone interested in bits to let me know, will all be cheap.

bose speakers are no use without the rest of the system.

the leather wont fit as yours has S.I.P.S in the seats.

This pre facelift elite has side airbags in the seats, surely it would have the same sensor system as the facelift models if that's what you're referring to

That's a shame.

Hopefully the auto box is good and I can put that into mind at least.

Omega General Help / central locking motor

« on: 23 July 2013, 22:07:12 »

Does anyone know if a VectraB on an s reg (just before the facelift) front central locking motor boxes are  the same as Omega facelift at all? My front passenger lock is rather weak. Plethora of Vectras but not Omegas

You might as well just buy an Elite which has all those bits on already, lot easier 

No Vauxhall headunit will fit the Omega which has Aux/Bluetooth.

Bose is out of date really, if its there its nice. But if you want better sounds, there are much better choices for speakers. It also opens the choice of head units massively! 

Maybe easier but certainly not cheaper.  My Omega now has a years MOT and all in it owes me 200 quid

I appreciate that, but lots of the after market stereo surrounds to convert the stereo hole to single DIN are frankly really crappy made.  Toyed with the idea of sticking a DVD screen Double DIN stereo in it, but the shape of the Omega stereos doesn't lend itself to that at all

I might as well start the ball rolling as there's a bit of a list, gearbox fault..presuming that it's an auto,first thing to do is service the transmission with new filters and ATF,because invariably that's all that's needed to cure the problem,replacing the transmission is an option that would possibly the last of all choices to be made

That was the first thing that was done

Inspite of it only being a 68000 mile car, its got a towbar and I suspect its been put to lots of use hence the premature failing of the box.

Just occasionally its as if it loses drive and revs up, but if you either select Sport mode or just stick your foot down hard on the accelerator, it regains drive and doesn't cause anymore problems, its a tricky one to diagnose, because I towed a trailer with a Land Rover Discovery for someone and it didn't miss a beat, but the problem can sometimes rear up after 2 miles of driving or 40 miles of driving.

Omega General Help / A few Facelift Omega questions

« on: 30 June 2013, 20:42:08 »

Was going to sell the Omega I picked up, but no one wants it with a gearbox fault, and frankly it doesn't irritate me enough to do anything, it can still be driven.

So, when I can be bothered to replace the gearbox, will an autobox from a prefacelift V6 be a problem on my facelift 2.2?

I've heard it will fit no problems, just wondering if theres a difference in the way the car will drive.

Secondly, I want to update the stereo in the Omega, but have also heard my choices are limited if I want to remain Double DIN sized as most of the Vauxhall range are CAN stereos which restricts my choices.

Ideally I want a standard Vauxhall stereo with Bluetooth/Aux socket but i'm sure i'm not going to get that.

Thirdly, I want to add electric windows to the back as mine is a GLS model.  Both my back doors (ooer!) have issues, one has rust the other has a nasty scrape, so I was just going to source a same colour set of doors with electric windows already fitted, fit a 4 switch pack to the door and possibly a fuse, would that be all thats needed for the back windows to be operational?  Presuming the wiring for the electric windows is all there in the door plug in the pillar.

Also, what models had the BOSE system (another reason for sticking with the Vauxhall stereo), as i've heard that too can be transplanted over.
