The speed controller is up behind glovebox, a seperate unit to main climate panel (which is a 30min job anyway) bolted to fan housing

Cool cheers - i will replace this and see if it solves it

Thanks for the help - unfortunately the k7 realy what it lists in the haynes isnt on there
The problem is the fan won't switch off - even with the engine off & key out - atm im having to keep pulling the fuse & putting it back in whenever i want aircon
Ah, since the heavy rain no doubt?

Blocked scuttle drain, causing water to come up through pollen filter into passenger footwell, dripping on fan speed controller in process.... ....and they ain't cheap.

Edit: I presume you mean cabin fans, not cooling fans?

I bought the car like it - so im not sure if it was after the rain / not.
I can select all speeds fine however - its really bugging me now lol, the garage is kind enough to give me a complete new unit & parts - but i dont want to take the dash out if its not that (as they dont know either)

And i mean the fans that blow hot/cold air into the car - not the rad fans.

If i cant sort it soon - i may modify a switch from a scrapper and wire it in as an on/off switch as stripping the dash is a real bore lol
Cheers

Hello - does anyone know where i can find the relay for the heater/aircon blower in my omega? Ive had a look under the bonnet & there just numbered - do the numbers correspond to the numbers of the fuses? Its not in the fusebox either - ive had a look at those.
Cheers

P.s its the pre facelfit 3.0v6 Elite if that helps

Meguiars Plast X on the rotary made mine crystal clear again

If you W/D you will need to use an abraisive compund to remove the marks though first.
Farecla G£ with loads of water on the rotary is good - careful not to create too much heat though

Omega General Help / Couple of problems

« on: 01 August 2007, 21:40:37 »

First off hello - just discovered this place and thought it would be the best place to source some info

Ive just bought myself an Omega Elite & have the following;

The fan for the air con & heater etc stays on - all the time even with the key out! Any idea what the cause would be? atm i have to pull the fuse which is a real pain.

Also where would i find the sim on my car phone? I think its standard - but the only info i can find is its a motorola international 2200

Thanks for any advice!

Thanks

I cheated with 2 chrome tips lol
And i did the main cutting work (to remove the swirls & small scratches) with a rotary polisher - however clay, polish & sealent was all applyed by hand though . Got very sunburned & dehydrated doing it heh, took app 8 hours last sunday - but the finish is worth it i feel

I find it very easy to use. I dont waste money on quick detailer to use with it though, as all you need is a lube. I mix a few drops of fairy washing up liquid in an empty spray bottle of water & keep the area im working on wet at all times, and only do a quarter of the bonnet size area at one time to avoid drying out - then wipe dry with a clean Microfibre. It looks a bit of a mess when dry as the resudue leaves it looking smeary. But a good cleaning compound / cleaning polish like the autoglym SRP will remove it no probs - its just where the soapy clay residue has dryed.
Oh and dont rub it as such. Just let it glide across the paint, as soon as it feels smooth its done. Well worth doing imo on any car though - makes applying & removing producs a breeze

Thanks for the replys!

Sorry there a little late - but as promised

As the sun was shining sunday morning i thought i'd best crack on with detailing my omega as ive not done it since taking delivery a couple of weeks back.

I'd allready cleaned it the previous night so all that was required was a quick pre rinse.

I starded by giving the entire car a clay - followed by 2 goes with poorboys ssr 2.5 - Polished with SRP & a top sealent. Followed by a bit of tryre sealent & trim seal.

The car wasnt in bad nick tbh - as the garage had "valeted"

it

However even from a mile away the badly machined finished was noticable - swirled to high heaven & the car looked grey!

Before shots

So on with the clay

Not as bad id have expected

On with the ssr

Not too bad after 1 pass - gave another & it was spot on!

On with the SRP & sealent - whilst i was waiting for the sealent to dry - thought i'd have a quick tidy of the engine - will do more when i have more supplies in
