Thank for the replies but if Air Con Condenser is wet what is the fix? And as Steve has asked, where is the air con drain and is it easily unblocked?

Omega General Help / Condensation inside after engine is turned off!
« on: 30 December 2012, 21:15:11 »
Can anyone advise as to why my Mig condenses up inside after she has been driven. Pollen filter renewed, scuttle drain clear, rear vent in boot clear, no dampness in car. Got me baffled.

Omega General Help / Limp Home Mode
« on: 05 February 2012, 17:20:58 »
Had a problem earlier in the week that I thought was gearbox related but I've since found out the car had clearly gone into limp home mode. http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/index.php?topic=98907.0
Problem hasn't reoccurred since Thursday but I'm now wondering if the following has caused it.
Wife advised that the TC indicator on the dash flashed on and then the car entered limp home mode. On further inspection I've noticed that when reverse gear is selected the rear fog light indicator dimmly lights up on the dash. On checking the reverse lights, the offside one is fine but the near side reverse light is only half lit.
My question is could this electrical issue of caused the car to enter limp home mode taking into account the first action at home is to put the car into reverse to get the car off the drive?
Does anyone have any idea what would cause the electrical problem with the reverse lights and would a change of bulb rectify the outage to the rear fog light indicator or is this likely to be a job for an auto electrician?

No fault codes other than 48 & 31 which i know are normal. Car has driven fine for last 2 days with only one incidence of loss of power which rectified itself within 500 yards. I'm now suspecting its not gearbox related but more of an intermittent sensor issue. Any ideas anyone 
? Could it possibly be the MAFF sensor?

Omega General Help / Gearbox Death or Something Else
« on: 01 February 2012, 11:08:20 »
Working away this week but wife has phoned me this morning to advise that the car would not pull away as normal this morning. When it does pull away there is no power and really struggles and when she stops at a junction the car stalls. Pulling up at junctions and stalling has occurred for the last 3 months however this was only occuring on start up but we put it down to a possible air leak which we thought we had cured. There is no noise, burning or anything other than distinct lack of power. To be fair she has only tried R & D, she hasn't tried gears 1,2 & 3 as yet. I've been advised by 2woody that it may just be a faulty selector switch but it needs put on the ramp to determine. Has anyone else had similar issues or can anyone shed any light on what it's likely to be and the likely cost of repair. The gearbox was drained cleaned and new gaskets fitted back in September and new transmission oil put in. For information it's a 2001 3.0ltr Elite Auto. Thanks in advance.

Thanks for responses so far.
Nothing in the boot.
Excuse my ignorance but:
1, Where abouts is the pollen filter located
2,How do you reset the climate control system?
3, Are the scuttle drains located either side of the front and rear screens?

Omega General Help / Condensation After Car Has Been Run
« on: 17 December 2011, 12:47:03 »
Anybody any idea why my migs windows fill with condensation after ive been out in her. There are no signs of dampness or anything in the car and this always happens whether the car has been run for 5 minutes or we have been out for a run in her.
Got me baffled. Tried every setting.
Currently running her on Auto, 23 degrees and full fan.
Only happening since whether has turned colder.

I thought it more appropriate to list it in electrics seeing as i made a mistake in listing the initial problem.

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Immobilizer light flickers when idling
« on: 27 May 2011, 20:36:11 »
Hi all.
New to the forum and looking for some much needed help from experienced Omega owners.
Ive recently purchased a 3.0ltr MV6 Elite Auto that has a leaking rocker cover gasket thats being sorted this weekend.
However earlier today the Electronics / Immobilizer Indicator light has began to flicker on an off on the dash especially when sat in traffic or stood still at a junction or lights and just idling. It dissappears completely when i drive off and get above 20mph or if i increase the revs whilst stood still and performance doesnt appear to be affected.
Can anyone advise.

« on: 29 August 2011, 08:41:26 »
I had same problem with mine 6 weeks ago. Turned out i needed a new door latch mech and door pillar striker.
You might be lucky with WD40 but its more than likely to need a new mech.
Don't get this confused with a door lock though.

Omega General Help / 3.0ltr Elite Auto - Stalling
« on: 26 August 2011, 21:48:56 »
Anybody got any ideas why my 3.0ltr Elite Auto, would stall after driving only150yds and then stopping at a junction or lights, whilst in drive. This has happened twice today within almost 60 seconds of starting her up from cold.
She restarts no problem at all and drives fine? :-/ :-/ :-/
