Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: headlight upgrade

« on: 27 June 2011, 22:45:20 »

I been doing some googling about the height adjustment leveling sensors and i believe that it should be located in the nearside front wheel arch, with a link arm from the lower wishbone arm to the leveling sensor....

Although i dont have this sensor fitted i did find this one but dont know what its for.



is this to do with leveling the lights or something completely different.

just to explain more, this i located on the rear axle of the car with the connecting rod fixed to the rear off-side lower arm, and it an estate that i have. (oh and excuse the elastic band holding the arm on lol) when i first see this, the arm was hangong off so quick fix to hold it in place

many thanks

Hi all,

i have just been reading throught this thread and i to have been looking into fitting H.I.D's as i have the projector style headlights already fitted but only with the standard bulbs.

after reading the above reply from RobG, i am slightly confused 

Like i said, i have the projector headlights, i have the headlight washer jets that work and i have the aim height adjuster under the headlight switch in the dash......

with all this, if i fitted a H.I.D kit as found on the well known auction site, would this be a pass or a fail come MOT time.

many thanks

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: newbie question about radio and ignition

« on: 02 April 2011, 16:00:09 »

First off, i would like to say thanks for all the help and replies. I have just been out and found a solution to my problem. I have taken a feed direct from the ignition switch to the radio so now it works on position 1. Even better is when i turn the key to position 1, the radio comes on and if i turn key to position 0 the radio stays on untill you pull the key out, at that point the radio turns off.

so for me that is better still  

as for the pinouts of a vauxhall radio i did find this link that may help anyone else with wiring issues

uummm following the replies on this subject i have been outside with a meter and found that on position 1, i have 2 live wires. red at 12.75v (constant live) and blue/red at 11.25v. i could be wrong but i am wondering if the blue/red wire is to do with the alarm as when i put ignition to position 2, the blue/red goes to 0v.  :-/ other than that it seems that there is no other +feed in the iso plug. i have also checked the 3rd plug from the radio to the MID and again no 12v found in 1st position . me thinks its time to buy an haynes manual and study some diagrams :-/

hi again, yes i have checked the wire swap-around and i have no issues with the memeory etc. i just dont know if an original vauxhall radio would come on in the 1st ignition position or the 2nd position. Aslo just to clarify that no wires have been cut and the original iso plug is present which connects to my kenwood wiring loom

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / newbie question about radio and ignition

« on: 02 April 2011, 11:22:51 »

hi all,

this is my first time of having a vauxhall omega and when i bought the car there was no radio fitted. i have fitted a kenwood dvd head unit with flip-out screen but i have found that the radio will only come on when the ignition is in the second position and the dash warning light are on. for some reason when i put the ignition to the first postion the radio does not come on. my question is, is this normal or have i encountered a problem :-/

many thanks in advance for your help

Omega General Help / Re: Lowering Elite

« on: 05 July 2011, 08:31:10 »

after doing some MOT work on my car i discovered that the lowering springs on my car are in fact irmacher springs,

so i suppose 1 could argue that they are original as they are not Koni springs or any other well known names.

just a thought........ :-/

if you look at my pictures in the gallery you can see that mine has been lowered.

i dont know what springs they are but they are red. the rear also has red springs but still has the gas shocks and as you can see in the pictures when the back end lifts up it does look odd and looks like it only been lowered on the front

Omega General Help / advice needed on 3.0 v6 exhaust

« on: 22 May 2011, 17:29:57 »

hi all, i need a new exhaust back box and i was wondering if its possible to put on a performance back box in place of a standard. i have 2 pipes running down the car to the back box so my question is, - could i put inline a 2-1 Y piece into the exhaust pipe just before the back box then have a single entry pipe into a universal performance back box or would this mess up back pressure etc. any advice greatly recieved on this.

many thanks

Newbie Welcome Area / And it's hiya from me

« on: 25 June 2011, 18:35:42 »

Well to start with my name is Michael and i've been signed up for awhile now and thought i'd come on here and say hello  

I've got a meggy 3.0 v6 auto estate that was saved from the scrapyard and got it for £350. I was told it needed a new rad but as it turned out it was just a split pipe, that was sorted while still in the scrapyard (bodge job good old electrical tape around the pipe), and drove it away.

Once i got it home i sorted out the pipe for good and not lost another drop of water since. No other major problems either so 1 has to wonder why it was in there in the first place.

also had tax and MOT still so it still baffles me, but for that price and luck, i'm not gonna argue with that.....

Its all good and lovin every minuite of it. 

i Will now go and post some pictures in the gallery

well thanks for takin the time to read this and catch ya all soon
