Omega General Help / Re: Maximum fuel capacity

« on: 11 January 2012, 18:49:20 »

my understanding of all cars has always been, when the trip computer goes to zero (or petrol light comes on) that most cars have around about 30miles left before she is will leave standing still? ive lived by this even in a juice drinking range rover and its always seemed to be ok for me ... maybe im just lucky?

UPDATE - ok ive got it to turn off... by " Dead locking " and dis arming the alarm ... by putting the key in the drivers door turn once to left... and then again to left and back to right to unlock car... alarm went off... but when i lock the car now on the fob i dont get a second lot of indicator flash when i press the lock button twice to show alarm is on!

would you still recommend i remove the " powersounder " for safety reasons?

Yes, a common problem, the rechargeable batteries break down and can cause electrical shortage. This can lead to fires, which cost Jimbob (or Ljay) a car not so long back. It's something that needs to be done NOW seeing as you're already starting to see problems with yours

oh i see!! better get on with it then!

ignore switches if it wont stop when engine started....

That will be your powersounder.

Check maint guides for how to remove if needed, its basically under the driver side scuttle just below the windscreen.

bizarrely happened to us yesterday.

it is a common problem with omega's?

im going to do as the guide says when the bleady wind dies down!! its freezing!
