Ok, so I've just bought my Omega, am liking it a lot so far but there are some small niggles. I have done some searches but would like to clarify some things:
First, the main one. On some occasions the autobox shifts erractically, sometimes causing an almost shunt in the car. Other times it holds its gear without changing up. I am assuming that a fluid change is the place to start? Could this be anything else? When the problem arises I get the check light up on the MID. It'll reset and be fine if I switch ignition off and back on again. Am I correct in assuming the box uses Dextron III? Which box am I likely to have?
Secondly, my sunroof squeals a little sometimes, now I've never had a sunroof on a previous car so am not familiar with the setup. What is causing this and where do I lubricate?
My drivers door does not lock in place, door check strap? If so is it the actual strap or the bush that I have noticed in searches?
One of my headlamps is slightly yellowed, the other is nice and clear, what can I use to clean it and bring it up clear again?
Also, if if I select Auto on the Climate control and it decides to select a fan speed greater than 6, or if I manually select such a speed, the fan makes a nasty noise. Am not sure how to describe it other than similar to the noise that a powerful electrical transformer makes. I hope you can understand what I mean.
Sometimes on the steering there is a slight knock which I can feel, not all the time, just occasionally. Is this play in the idler? Where is this located?
Next, my radio reception is sometimes poor, The aerial on the roof is slightly loose and the base rotates as well so I am assuming this is the cause. What can be used to stick this back on?
I know that seems a lot but I will admit to being a slight perfectionist when it comes to my cars,
I like everything to be as it should be. I need to take the dash apart move one of the dial faces down slightly. I've done this before so not a problem. Other than that it just needs a good clean, inside and out. Going to treat the leather too, any recommendations for that? Might get it detailed when I get the money.
What are standard size wheels/tyres for the Omega? Someone has fitted aftermarket alloys (which I quite like) so I just want to make sure the rolling radius isn't too far out.
I've also heard of EPC, is there anywhere I can get a copy of this from? I had access to something similar for Peugeots and Citroens and it came in very useful.
Thats all I can think of for now but am sure I've missed things
Hope I'm not asking too much :-/
