Omega General Help / Door Mirrors - Face Lift to Pre-Face Lift

« on: 01 November 2006, 06:57:46 »

Having seen a couple of photos in Vaux Mags in the last couple of months (so I know it can be done), does anyone know how easy/difficult it is to put Face lift door mirrors on a Preface lift car? (I'm talking elec/heated ones too)
The base plate looks identical (but I dont know for sure) - I don't think the Face lift door skin is that different from its predecessor - but would there be lots of adapting to do?
Are the electrics compatable?
Any advice greatfully recieved
Cheers
Matthew

Omega General Help / Radio display and C/C lighting

« on: 09 October 2006, 17:47:41 »

Hello folks 2 things I want to check:
My 98 Omega has the CCR 600 radio (Philips) and over the last year whenever I put the detachable section into the radio (I always remove it when parked up) and turn on it says 'PANEL'
This is ususlly remidied by trying one or twice more and/or blowing sharply on the back of said detachable panel. It then works fine.
My queston is:
Is this a common problem that is related to the age of car and radio? (ie poor contact) or
Is it doing it because I keep removing it from car so much?

The climate pixels on drivers side have gone very dim - passenger fine. You can still see the pixels but they have faded.
Any ideas?

Hello folks,
It doesn't seem that long that I was saying hi over on Vxon.
I was mailing Mr Mcburger about stuff he's got on ebay and he told me about this forum.
Absolutely lovely! A place just for Omegas! Yeehaa!
Lots of names I recognise from the 'dark side'
Nice to be back with 'Meega people!

« on: 21 September 2010, 11:54:43 »

Morning All!

Anyone got any advice or personal knowledge of the above?

I'm not after tyre advice but just those brands with hefty rim protection.

Contis do (but are mega expensive)
Ditto Bridgestone
Some Pirellis but not all

Anyone know of others?
Any help much appreciated

General Car Chat / Coolcar Aircon

« on: 25 April 2010, 10:55:32 »

Having posted a couple of weeks ago - my local coolcar aircon guy has just been.

Yup , will need a new condenser (what a surprise!)
Looking at it though, hardly surprising given that some of the fins were hanging out of the frame. (in the space between the condenser and the Radiator)

Paul said he'd never seen that before and was surprised given that the unit is so well protected.

What was amusing was giving him the 'Pre facelift condenser removal how-to' from this forum (which he's taken with him).
So top marks for
1. actually finding the problem
2. being honest enough to be grateful for specific info about the Omega
3. coming to me on a Sunday morning
 

Top marks too to OOF for the heads up about Cool aircon and RolandL for the 'how-to'
 

Should be done and dusted by Wednesday pm! 8-)
Sorted!
