Omega General Help / LPG fitting question

« on: 26 February 2019, 13:16:16 »

Help needed with lpg fitting in est. with doughnut tank. How do the pipes run out of the well under the car, is there room between floor and gas tank to run pipes without them getting crushed?

Also is there anyone around the Coventry area, with LPG experience who would be willing to come and give me some advice on the correct way to fit the LPG pipework.
I am fitting a kit taken off another Omega, but I did not remove the Kit, so am a little unsure on how the pipes should be run.

Thanks for any help.

Fitted a new water pump and main cooling rad to the 2.6. No more water leaks.

Next job, for over the winter, is to fit the LPG kit I've just got.

Think I may have found the problem.  The radiator has a small split in the plastic side, So that needs sorting out first.

Does the fan spin freely by hand? Disconnect battery first just incase it suddenly decides to work.

If yes, connect it directly to the battery and see if then works.

Lastly, was aircon on or off? All working normally?

Yes fan spins by hand.

Aircon off. Don't work, needs a re-gas.

I'll give the pinouts a go and see what I find.

Thanks.

2.6 omega

It would seem that my cooling fan is not kicking in. temp gauge on the dash is reading 90-100 but the fan has not started, all connections look ok.

Was working fine, any pointers as to what could be the problem?

My mistake, more used to a 5-speed manual.

In that case felt like it was in 3rd and didn't want to change into 4th.

Didn't get any warning lights, and has never done this before, just felt like it was in 4th and didn't want to change into 5th.

Omega General Help / 2.6 Auto gear box question

« on: 22 April 2018, 23:01:37 »

The Omega was used today to collect a car from S.wales, 140 miles each way on dual carriageway/motorway averaging around 55-60mph.

On the way down, with an empty trailer, she seemed to not want to change up to top gear, and was sitting around 3500rpm, she would occasionally change up and the rpm would drop to around 2500, but before long she would change down again and up the revs went. This resulted in very poor MPG.

On the return journey, however, with a loaded trailer, she returned to normal and sat at 2500rpm most of the time, only changing down on a steep hill, and even dropped the revs to 2000 at one stage.

Any help into what may have caused this would be of great help.

Chris.

I am looking for a good R25 manual gearbox, as I have been told today that my one is not repairable.

Preferred in Coventry area, but can travel, cash waiting.

Can't agree more about Lidl. Never had any problems with their customer service. always been fast and polite at sorting any problems.
