Hmm... with the strange smell my money would be on the heater matrix. Check if your front carpets are soaked.

Omega General Help / Leaking fuel bleed value - quick fix?
« on: 23 April 2011, 10:29:10 »
Hi all, I've found that the fuel bleed valve is leaking and I'm hoping that will account for the strong petrol smell that I get. As I can't get a replacement for a while does anyone have ideas on what temproary what quick fixes I could do? The cap still goes on securly but I'm guessing that it's not really air tight.

Could be the DIS pack but could be the HT leads. Check to see if any of them are arcing - they sometimes do break down. It's easier to see this when it's darker.

I changed the regulator that sits in the fuel rail on the inlet manifold - VX part 9118850 - REGULATOR, PRESSURE, FUEL INJECTION. I changed the fuel filter about a year ago and I do have a spare filter if you think that could be the cause.

Omega General Help / Bad cold starting
« on: 20 April 2011, 09:43:09 »
Hi just wondered if any ideas. When cold I need to turn the car over 2-3 times before it will catch. I noticed that when depressurizing the system it had very little pressure so I changed the fuel pressure regulator which made no difference. I also have a very strong smell of petrol but no sign of any leaks. Since changing the regulator the smell only seems to last for a little while when first started. Grateful for any ideas.

Omega General Help / Re: Bonnet release cable broken.
« on: 03 April 2011, 11:25:46 »
The only way I have found is with the front grille removed (or if you cut a hole in it). You can get your fingers on the release lever and pull it to the side to release the bonnet. On mine I had to also push down on the bonnet at the same time to release some pressure.

Thanks very much guys. I've been out this morning and found it. The lever seemed to be attached OK so I removed the motor completely - found it easier to remove the lower centre console to get access. I adjusted the air temerature with the motor removed, but attached and although it clicks it does not actually move, so I'll order a new one.
Cheers guys

Hmm... been reading the guide again but...
"4) You'll need a torch to see properly, but you'll find the motor on the right side of the passenger footwell just above the end of the centre consol - look for a black plactic 'cap' about 1.5 inches in diameter with an electric connector joined to it on the bottom right as you look at it - This black cover can be gently prised off with a screwdriver to reveal the silver-coloured motor beneath."
Can you see the black plastic cap with the wire attached in my photo? :-?

Thanks Entwood, I'd found this too but still can't relate it to the view that I have 
Here's a picture of what I can see - I'm a bit thick so if anyone can explain where the part is I'd very very happy
