General Car Chat / Road tax
« on: 06 February 2012, 21:18:21 »
Just been looking at the D.V.L.A. road tax costs.....did not know that as from 1st march 2001 if you want to tax a 2.2 omega the cost is £445.....and if it is 3.0 ltr the cost is £460...add to that the cost of the insurance it may out cost the price of the car.No wonder they are a lot of car for such crap money..surely i cant be seeing things can i

Omega General Help / miss fire
« on: 22 December 2011, 16:37:25 »
Hi to all...help please...my 2000 2.2 omega has had a problem with a bit of a lumpy tick over......how ever that does not effect the general running of it at all....on monday i did 200 mile trip in it no problem...used it yesterday no problem....however to day when i went to star it it was very difficult to start and was only firing on two plugs.....i changed the coil pack no change took out the plugs to find that from the front of the engine...number 1 and number two plugs were black and not firing at all..so i changed all four plugs and still no difference.missing on the same two plugs......it does not use water or oil and the dipstick is perfectly clean oil no white stuff on it...it will not run to have someone to put a machine on it....any ideas as to what would make it run like this.....i was thinking of getting a new camshaft sensor to begin with...unless you can tell me different......any ideas or help will be gratefully received....thanks ray.

Omega General Help / vibration
« on: 03 December 2011, 12:24:45 »
my saga continues...2.2 omega automatic....on start up a ticking noise from the engine..this goes away when engine warms up several minutes later....when revs drop to idle the engine is not running lumpy but just sitting with foot brake on and in drive it vibrates up through the car...i replaced one engine mounting as it was split...no difference....other one is ok....yesterday i put her in drive brake on and i felt around the engine,,not realy jumping about...however i did notice that the front part of the exhaust system from manifold back to flexy joint was vibrating quite a bit....i let the engine go cold then removed the chrome heat shield which covers the manifold...i then saw that two studs were broken off in the head...one up top and one directly below nearest the front of the engine...i started her up and sure enough the ticking noise was coming from there...after a while the noise stopped......my question is do you think that although she runs very well while driving could this be my problem of the vibration when in drive and sitting at a standstill...only it is pi...ng me off...and doing my head in .any advice please mateys..thanks..

Omega General Help / exhaust cat
« on: 24 September 2011, 16:10:01 »
hi here i go again......i have a year 2000 2.2 omega and have been informed that i need a new cat for the exhaust. because it was registered before march 2000 i can fit a non conforming cat which are cheaper than those registered after march.....i think the later one is the same fitment and i would like to know if that is correct and if i was to fit the later one would it make more sense and would i get more value for money in the long run..i just do not understand the difference between them.....any advice please folks...thanks ray...
