Well guys, my car seems sorted👍
We cut the flow and return hoses from the 'thing' and connected them together and all seems well after a 30 mile drive. We left the wiring connected just in case it sent my engine management into a confused state.
Might be of some help to someone in future.
Thanks again.

Ok, thank you.
So just before I take a hacksaw to the 2 top hoses, you think it will be ok to bypass this unit?
I hate doing this stuff😩

Thanks....
What is the 'thing' called? I presume it would be an expensive part to replace?

Hello folks....
I have finally got round to having more of a look at my leak!!!!
I took the car round to a friend who has a ramp and it looks like the coolant was leaking from the 'night heater' thing....below the airbox / behind the off side fog lamp.
Now initially when I noticed this leak, it looked like quite a lot but it took no more than 1 litre to top up again.
I then drove the car to my friends place, which is about 10 miles (of slow very very busy motorway) and the car hadn't lost a drop....and there was no signs of it leaking. STRANGE!
The unit itself is very badly corroded and there are signs of coolant on its exterior. I reckon it's only a matter of time before it bursts altogether.
I noticed two rubber hoses going to the top of said 'thingy'.....can you guys tell me if I can link these two pipes and do away with said 'thingy' altogether?
I never use it.....it's something that heats the car with the ignition off, I believe?
So guys, can I bypass it?
Cheers.

Hmmmmm.......I've used the deadlock and I can still pull it up by hand 
The coolant problem is now priority, though I will try and source the 'micro switch' from here

« on: 15 October 2014, 22:05:40 » Again, the owners club members have came to my rescue. Thank you!
The button pulled up with a little force using pliers and I reckon I can live with pushing and pulling the knob manually in future.
The bad news is my 'CHECK COOLANT' warning came on and when I parked the car I noticed coolant pouring from behind the area of the drivers wheel.....too dark and wet to check it tonight though

Thank you for your reply....No, I haven't tried using pliers but I will give that a go and let you know how it goes.
Thanks again - always appreciate the helpful knowledge

Omega General Help / Front passenger door....
« on: 13 October 2014, 20:53:50 »
Good evening gentlemen.
Had this problem for a couple of months now but I really need to try and sort it now.
2002 2.2 deisel. The front passenger door lock is jammed. All other doors lock/unlock without any issues.
How can I get the door to open to remove the door card to enable me to get into the 'workings' of the mechanism?
Any help in this matter would be great.....I'm at a loss!!!!

Well I took the car for a 20 mile run and had no issues - can these cars throw up false codes? Perhaps there was a little bit of dirty fuel???

Thanks.....but surely if there was a split on a vacum pipe, it wouldn't be an intermitant fault? It happened earlier today and lasted for about 5 minutes and then engine management light went off and the car ran fine.

Crank sensor fitted and my car is running great again
I also fitted a new header coolant tank and all is good there too!
Thanks again for your advice guys.

Thanks guys, your help has been very much appreciated
I'm taking the chance and purchased the crank sensor and coolant header bottle - just under a hundred quid from my local Vauxhaul dealer.
I've printed off the details of how to fit the sensor from this great and informative site and I'll let you know how I get on when I tackle the job in a few weeks time.
Thanks again. Top bunch.
