Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Is it Bose ?

« on: 12 May 2009, 10:57:27 »

Can anyone help me !! I've just bought a 'new' (supposedly) Bose configured CCR2006 from a Vx main dealer, when I switched the old radio on the display used to say 'Bose sound' when I switch the new radio on the display flashes 'code' for a split second and then goes to normal.

Am I being ripped off ? has the dealer sold me standard CCR2006 ? would a standard one work ? how can I tell what I've got ? also the radio came with no CD magazine ! no instruction manual ! no mounting cage ! is this normal ?

One more thing, although the rear speakers do work they are not as powerful / loud as the front, it seems all the base is to the front speakers, bearing in mind I have a sub in the back !! does the sub fade out if I fade to the rear speakers ?

Cheers

Omega General Help / Temp gauge not moving

« on: 01 January 2010, 09:09:23 »

Happy New year to all Omega owners, can anybody point me in the right direction please, the temperature gauge on my 02 2.6 Elite hardly moves, it barely comes off the bottom line, it's only just started acting up, the heaters seam ok so I'm thinking the thermostat is ok, does anybody know where the temp sender is ? is it the 'bigish' plug type switch on the top right-hand side of the radiator  ? any help appreciated.
Cheers

Omega General Help / Oil filter housing 2.6

« on: 06 November 2009, 19:44:47 »

Trying to change the engine oil & filter on my 02 2.6 today and whilst trying to change the filter the whole of the bloody housing started to turn, finally got it off but the cast that locates into the block had snapped. To compound the issue I was on a pit in work when I shouldn't have been, the only thing I could do was put it back in place and tighten the hollow allen bolt that secures the housing to the block, it seemed to have worked but does anyone have any views on it  with regards to fitting it back with the locating cast missing ? that's if the cast is just for locating in position !! any advise welcome.

General Car Chat / What price 11,500 mile Elite

« on: 05 July 2009, 08:26:24 »

There's an an 03 Elite on ebay for £1 short of £6,000 with about 34 or 38,000 miles on the clock, they go to say there are no Omegas left out there with less than 40,000 miles ! I own an 02 2.6 Elite which has covered a genuine 11,500 genuine miles with full service history etc and I'll be selling it very shortly, what price should I be asking for it !

General Discussion Area / Bob Dylan

« on: 03 May 2009, 07:02:36 »

Went to see Bob Dylan live at the Liverpool Echo Arena on Friday night, if I said he was crap it would be a compliment, as a life long fan I'm gutted, to be honest I thought he was taking the p*ss he was that bad, sad to see and hear him like that. Nice Arena though !

General Discussion Area / 02 Elite, 8200 miles

« on: 30 March 2009, 20:55:02 »

just thought I'd update you all as everybody on the forum has been helpful. I joined OOF last week and introduced myself as another newbie, everybody was friendly and made me feel welcome so thanks to all who said hello.  Last week I said I'd put a deposit on an 02 2.6 Elite, well I'm please to say I'm now the proud owner of that very car, it is a one owner and covered only 8.200 miles, yes it's like brand new and even smells new, I paid a bit for it but I think it was worth it and I shall be cherishing it for a long time to come.
