Omega General Help / Warning tyre noise.

« on: 19 November 2011, 19:33:13 »

Firstly not sure i am posting this in the right section but thought it would get more views here and secondly it may have been discussed before if so my apologies. I have a warning for all OOF members about Enduro 916+ tyres.

This week i purchased a pair at what i considered a reasonable price however looks can be deceiving as once on and after a days driving i was pulling my hair out with the noise ( Hard enough as i am bold ) but honestly they were terrible sounded like the wheel bearings were shot. Solution i thought was to swap them to the front but oh no even worse, so today i put them back on the back the neighbors must think i got a screw loose seeing me do this twice in as many days. Going to ware these out as soon as pos and get some thing better.

So OOF guys and gals take my advice and leave well alone as they are crap.

Hi all could any forum members shed light on my Alarm and its attempt to send me to the funny farm. You see the problem is this when i set the alarm anywhere but home it sets and gives me know probs, but as soon as i pull on the driveway at home i set it and then the fun begins, 10/15 mins later off she goes and i am up and running as to not annoy the neighbors. But to get me even more doolally it can go for weeks and work perfectly Arrgh Help

Had my 2.2 now for 14 months and had and still got the f@@king problem replace every thing you have mentioned and had every breather pipe cleaned runs fine for a couple of days and like and old x wife comes back and bites your arse. If it wasn't for the fact that i love the Omega it would have by now met with my trustee sledge hammer.  I am at a loss as to what it can be and as much as the forum guys do there best with there advise i think even they now have run out of ideas, hope you get it sorted and if you do pleaseeeee tell me what you did.

Omega General Help / Re: Sunroof not closing

« on: 28 September 2011, 20:32:55 »

Had the same problem with mine when i had a new battery fitted, came onto the forum and was told to reset it by pushing up on the switch and keeping pushed for around 30 seconds. Have to say it worked and have done it again since then when had the battery of to weld a crack across the manifold, as i say worked for me.
