Is the site going to eventually have an "e-mail" link if a member wishes it to be viewable, or is it unworkable with the new software

Maintenance Guides / Removal of F/L front bumper
« on: 07 June 2011, 21:57:31 »
The front bumper is held on with a total of 9 fixings, 4 x torx screws and 5 expanding lift/push "plugs".
2 x torx on each side
2 x "plugs" under bonnet and 3 underneath the bumper
Pics of the "plugs" under bonnet. Release these by lifting centre of plug with small flatblade screwdriver inserted into visible slot.
Then remove under headlight trim, some are held in with a pushpin (the hole at trim end) but most are just secured with the rubber "hook". Release the trim and pull outwards steady, the other end unclips.
Pics of "plugs" under bumper. Same procedure to release.
This pic shows the "plugs" in situ with bumper upturned.
Next undo the 4 x torx screws (2 each side) at bumper ends.
You can now pull the bumper towards you to release it. Unplug the multi-connector near the horns
If headlamp washers are fitted unclip the connector at the washer pipe by pushing the retaining clip
If you need to remove the steel bumper bar it`s held on with 4 nuts (2 each side) and the washer reservoir is fixed to the bar via 4 x torx screws.
Job done

Maintenance Guides / How to disassemble door mirror
« on: 28 April 2011, 11:13:30 »
Seeing as some scrote on a pushbike snapped my mirror off I thought I would do this guide. It relates to a facelift mirror but I would imagine they`re pretty much the same across the range.
Tools needed are a Philips & small flat blade screwdriver.
Remove door mirror by carefully prising triangular section off inside door, remove the 3 philips screws then remove mirror & unplug connector.
Press mirrorglass inwards (red arrows) then pull glass towards you (black arrows) to release the clips on the retaining ring affixed to rear of glass.
Release spade connectors and put mirrorglass somewhere safe (unless it`s been smashed
). In this pic you can see the 3 screws holding the motor (plus a dead spider 
).
Now the colour-coded "shell" needs to be removed. With the flat bladed screwdriver release the plastic tangs circled in pic and the shell can then be removed.
Now the black trim can be removed by the same process, releasing the tangs
This is what you are left with
Reverse the process for re-assembling.

Maintenance Guides / Cleaning the sunroof disc. With pictures
« on: 13 July 2009, 13:01:58 »
There`s been a lot of questions raised regarding the Omega
"phantom" sunroof. Usually this problem can be solved by removing and cleaning the black disc within the PCB cover.
Tools req. Small flat-bladed screwdriver or similar. Philips driver and a male T20 driver bit.
Pull sunroof control off, carefully prise out courtesy lamp and disconnect then undo the 2 philips screws securing the motor cover.
Where the control knob sits, depress the two side tangs, push the spindle up and withdraw the cover.
Using the T20, undo the 3 bolts securing the PCB cover and disconnect the two multi-plugs and remove.
Unclip the cover and the PCB and disc will be visible.
This is where the bulb sits. 12V/1.2W, SUN ROOF 90512802
Remove the disc noting which way it`s fitted and clean with switch cleaner or similar.
Here is a pic showing the bulb.
When done fit all back together, reset roof, and hopefully the problem is solved in the majority of cases.

Maintenance Guides / Replacing SRS (airbag) Module FAO Jimbob
« on: 14 November 2010, 14:33:58 »
Follow instructions in this thread (courtesy of Albatross)
http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/index.php?topic=90589.0
REMEMBER TO DISCONNECT BATTERY & wait for 10-15 minutes
Then you can remove the centre console in it`s entirety. When removed you will have access to this once you have removed the heater ducting (just pull towards rear then slide forward to access the nuts)
Undo the 4 x 10mm nuts & remove armrest bracket and you will see the module
Undo the 3 x 10mm nuts remove module and unclip multi-connector
Fit new module (same ident, in this case EF)
Re-fit everything in reverse order, job done.
If it`s suitable Jimbob please move to maintenance. Cheers.

Maintenance Guides / Inside the powersounder
« on: 18 April 2009, 19:01:40 »
Powersounder showing part no.
Sounder opened, side view.
Sounder exposed view showing battery placements.
Sounder batteries.
I used a hacksaw on the join of the body needing to cut through about 4mm. Just need to source a battery supplier or alternative batteries.
This sounder is from the facelift model so not sure if a different battery set-up was used on the earlier models.
