Omega General Help / slow puncture

« on: 11 June 2011, 21:33:35 »

Hey. Have one alloy which will not stay inflated. About a week to go from 30psi to 10psi. New tyre and valve alloys seem fine,
     Seem to remember an auto trader programme on sky saying that there is a rememdy that can be pumped in via the valve to stop this. Is this right???

Omega General Help / central locking prob on one door????

« on: 24 March 2011, 20:59:46 »

Hello all. Noticed this evening that the central locking is not working on the front passenger door. Was working at lunch time. Assume some sort of solenoid behind door card. Just want to know that there is nothing else i should be checking. Is the door card easy to remove 52 plate MV6. All the other locks are working fine. Thankyou.....

Omega General Help / excellent response

« on: 20 August 2010, 21:03:48 »

Just an update. Thanks to all who replied to my problem with a coolant leak. As you all very quickly relied with the correct diagnosis. It was the heater bypass valve which my garage was aware of. Moaned alot as quite fiddly by all accounts.
    Once again excellent response chaps...Batt45

Hello all. My Omega is giving me some grief of late. Crankshaft seal, Brakes now i think head gasket problem. Lose of coolant with no visible leak.Suspect head gasket(s) Any idea what sort of cost is involved on this problem on a V6 2.6 MV6. Mechanically minded but will not go near a modern car. Would just like to know a rough cost to prepare myself for the shock.....Thanks all

Omega General Help / user manual

« on: 18 June 2009, 17:17:49 »

Hey All...New to the forum. Have just picked up a 52 plate 2.6 MV6 auto. All seems ok but it does not seem to have a user manual. It has the manual for the entertainment system but nothing to tell me about the dials and switches air con,etc. Just not sure about when A/C is on and a funny button on the right side which looks like a man running and lines behind him. Anyone know where i might pick up a book, Many thanks
