Omega General Help / creaking suspension

« on: 25 March 2012, 15:25:23 »

hi all,
I have a creaking noise from the f/n/s when turning the steering,it also creaks when i bounce the car wing. I think it is coming from the drop link but reading old posts they are more likely to make a knocking sound when worn.
Incidently i have found a pair on ebay for a tenner,are they that cheap because they are rubbish?

Any thoughts or advice most appreciated.

Omega General Help / bonnet release lever

« on: 25 February 2012, 20:35:52 »

Hi,
Can anyone tell me the correct way to refit the bonnet release lever. As the pictures show the cable is attached to the plastic and i am guessing it connects on or in the metal slot shown. I was wondering if it may have a piece broken off as i cant get it to fit.
Any advice would be a big help.

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / ccr 2006 faulty

« on: 11 February 2012, 20:13:06 »

Hi all,
The front panel on my ccr2006 has a couple of broken plastic clips which means it can be pushed on or off.when pushed all the way home it works fine except the drivers door speaker goes off.when i pull it out slightly the speaker works again but the illumination on the head unit goes off.i am guessing it is a faulty connector from the face panel to the head unit.my question is can this be repaired or do i need a new stereo.
Many thanks in advance for any advice.

Hi,
I have read the various related threads already on the forum relating to re-attaching the bonnet release lever on a facelift omega,however i just cannot get the little rascal back into were it came out of. The cable is attached to the lever and plastic bracket, i have removed the drivers kick plate so Just wondering if i am missing something or is it a case of try and try again.

Many thanks in advance

Omega General Help / 2.6 v6 omega cam cover gaskets

« on: 14 December 2011, 19:43:54 »

Hi,
I am planning to change the cam cover gaskets on my 2.6 elite this weekend.The maintainence guides are very helpful and easy to follow, however i have a couple of questions that someone more knowledgeable than me may be able to help with.
Do i need to remove the fuel rail and air tubes to do the job,and if so is de-pressurising the fuel system the same as on the 2.5 guide ie. by pressing the valve at the rear left of the fuel rail?

Many thanks
