Omega General Help / Buzzing noise

« on: 17 March 2016, 18:37:20 »

When I turn the key in the ignition and all the lights on the dash come on, without the engine being on, I can hear a buzzing noise from the engine compartment. It sounds like it's coming from just below the expansion tank, where coolant pipes join into something larger, is it a secondary pump or a filter of some sort?  It maybe unconnected but the drivers side windscreen washer has stopped working, the passenger one is fine.  Any ideas what's buzzing?

The handbrake is tight, 2 clicks and the handbrake is on full.I'll take it back and get it checked out.

Thanks for your help.

Omega General Help / Strange noise when I reverse

« on: 13 February 2016, 22:44:32 »

I'm getting a strange noise coming from the rear wheels when I reverse out of my driveway. It's a whining noise, like the wind howling, it doesn't make a noise driving forward. I had new rear discs and pads fitted a few days ago, could they be the problem?

I've got water leaking from somewhere in the centre of the engine, it's collecting underneath the sump. I need to top up the reservoir every week to 10 days. Any ideas where it might be coming from?

Will K-seal damage my engine or is it safe to use on a 2000 3.0 V6?

thanks,

Omega General Help / Heater Matrix Flush

I've just had a look at the matrix flush, seems fairly straight forward. Will I lose any coolant when I disconnect the heater hoses?

Omega General Help / Drivers door lock

« on: 22 November 2014, 12:31:44 »

My drivers door won't open or close using central locking, I have to operate it manually with the key and the alarm light (with the the pic of an intruder) above the radio flashes when I activate the central locking with the remote. Has the locking motor failed?

I'll try packing it with grease, will a good mult-purpose Lithium based grease be okay or will I need a grease specifically for wheel bearings?

Omega General Help / Strange humming noise

« on: 26 July 2014, 13:35:48 »

Whilst driving above 30mph I can hear a low humming/droning noise coming from the rear, it seems to disappear when I turn to the right. There's no abnormal heat being generated in the wheels, any ideas?

Omega General Help / Return Springs

« on: 18 July 2014, 19:28:56 »

Hi, I'm needing two return springs for my rear brakes. The rear hub gets warm when driving due to one of the levers pressing against it, if the lever is manually pushed back and I don't use my handbrake will it be okay to drive until I can get the springs fitted?

thanks

Omega General Help / Rear door trims

« on: 26 June 2014, 07:58:50 »

Does anyone know the part number of the plastic external rear door trims? Someone kindly hit me in the car park and drove off without telling me they'd damaged my car!

Omega General Help / Bumpy ride

« on: 05 June 2014, 08:01:27 »

When I hit roadworks on the dual carriage way, I had to slow down to around 5mph and keep that speed for about 200 yards. The car started to bounce up and down, almost like we were going over a bumpy road. The road was flat and when I accelerated slightly if stopped doing it. It hasn't happen since, and I was wondering what had caused it. The only thing I've had done recently is new rear springs fitted, the rear parking brake has a tendency to stick when the car has been parked up for 4-5 days. Any ideas?
