Omega General Help / Re: Misfire?

« on: 14 July 2013, 12:45:39 »

Hi, When I accelerate at low revs the car seems to misfire, I have changed plugs, air filter and petrol filter, when I was under it I noticed that a couple of wires had been pulled of the exhaust sensor, could this be the problem?
When car starts to misfire if I drop it down a gear and give it some revs, its fine apart from being expensive on juice.
Any ideas?

Coil packs or plug wires?
Very similar situation on my 97 Cat turned out to be a plug wire shorting to valve cover.

Omega General Help / Bits for sunroof

« on: 14 July 2013, 12:37:37 »

Greetings from the colonies.

If Terry Paget is still around, Terry has helped me out greatly in the past, cross-matching Omega and Catera parts.

I've taken the 2000 Cat away from the eldest boy for a month to do a much delayed R&R on it.
Blocked sunroof drain tubes were the cause of a perpetually damp carpet.
Decided to fix that jammed sunroof while I've got the headliner off.

The issue:
The sliding sunroof shade rides on set of 4 plastic inserts which match a channel in the actuator rails
Mine have disintegrated (an effect of the Florida heat no doubt).

I have not been able to source them here in North America, or even get a P/N for them.
Any store or yard come to mind for small bits like that?

Cheers;
Dave
