No problem ClarCE......just give me a PM when you wanna pop over
But cheers anyhoooAh, just twigged... ...is this the leather from a 96 car? if so, it won't have side airbags. Did you car previously have side airbags?
You need a code reader capable of reading airbag ECU (cheapo tech2 can be hit or miss) to locate fault, and a code reader capable of resetting light at end (cheapo Tech2 seems to do this OK).
I suspect maybe a reset should be OK, as no doubt you had ignition on before seats correctly wired?
While searching for my coolant leak, I spotted a little vacuum pipe at the front of the engine, sort of at the bottom, below the air filter box, which was not attached to anything, and had a 13A fuse stuck up its end to block it.
It is the length of a similarly routed pipe which goes to a roughly 6" x 6" x 2" box.
What is this pipe and where should it be.
If needs be I can get a photo.
If I reference the piccy in http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1152565204
It looks like the front vac resivoir, mine has 1 pipe to it, should it have 2 and this is the 2nd?
What effect would it not being connected (or reconnected) have?
spent all day trying to fix dads door lock.... all went went, took door card to bits and old motor off, new one on (scrappy one)
Tested it before i put it back together, locked it.... and it did not pop back up again. Great or so i thought.
Put it all back together, and it seams to lock, but pull the door handle and the door opens!
Tried both scrappy ones, no joy. Now put old one back on getting same problem. What am i doing wrong!??!
For the past few tests i just wacked the motor on and connected it up, I did not put that metal hook to the motor behind the door handle (the actual key bit that looks like it twsits... is that important? :-/
Stuck on what to do, no matter how i do it, the rest of the car locks ok and does not pop back up again, the drivers door just stays open
Any ideas?
Edit: Ooppps sry should have put this in General Help, sry!
Thanks Chris ..sounds like the problem could be resloved quite simpy..the suggestion you have made seems to fit the case...have recently had cam cover gaskets changed(which is another story as they still are leaking so are due to be done again next week bt mechanic in gillingham f.o.c..but i will be buying genuine gm gaskets and asking for exchange covers to be fitted supplied also by me )so when work was last done could have been an issue with no or loose connections of fittings..this did not come to light until i need to give car a lot of revs on saturday afternoon on m26 road works to get out of way of belgian lorry in the wrong lane....so all things seem to point to that..will finish my coffee and toast and then go and have a look under bonnet to see what i can find.......asssuming they are loose/not connected when plugged back in will orange light go out???then assume will need to get fault codes that are logged in brain cleared..thanks alot..andrew
My mistake. It is the aux belt that has the cover missing. This is the only belt visible. I am getting timing belt done, the aux belt tensioner, the rocker cover gaskets and plugs and leads.
Should all be back in good working order tomorrow.
Thanks for the good advice as always
Power steering has also got noisey. I once again presume this runs off the aux belt and is therefore connected.
I also have no plastic cover. The entire cambelt is visible
QuoteI want to attempt the gearbox transplant on Sunday, bit scared tho to be honest
Just roll up your sleeves and rip it apart.. it will all become clear..
Make sure the Car is very secure, and rear wheels chocked.
I'm sure you could wire it up to do an instant recline and catapult her into the back
Is this the project one? Maybe I can come and inspect some time.
