Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: Boot Lid Central Locking

« on: 16 December 2015, 15:06:38 »

I should also mention that I renewed all the wiring to the boot lid some time ago as a result of losing my reversing lights. I made sure that the new join was inside the boot above the spare wheel and have checked the wiring which appears to be good.
Cheers,

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Boot Lid Central Locking

« on: 16 December 2015, 14:10:01 »

Hi Gang,
Popped open the boot lid with my key fob in the usual way, loaded it with rubbish for the tip, got to the tip and the boot won't open with either fob or inside dash button.
Back home I managed to release the boot by crawling inside and pulling the manual toggle opener.
Removed inside boot lid panel and on visual inspection everything looks very clean and no sign of frayed or broken wires, loose fitting plugs or obvious damage.
With car fully locked the fob operates the central locking on all four doors and the petrol cap but not the boot.
Any suggestions would be of great help.
Thanks,
Porky

Omega General Help / Central Locking

« on: 02 June 2014, 17:23:10 »

Hi all,
The central locking has packed in only on the front nearside door.
The lifting tab is firmly in the down (locked) position and won't budge despite all attempts other than ripping the door panel off.
Is there any way to open this door? Perhaps by using a hand made tool such as a 'slim jim'? I've seen them on TV etc, but have no idea how to fashion one or indeed use one.
Any help will be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Porks

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: REVERSING LIGHTS

« on: 17 January 2014, 09:37:04 »

Should have mentioned it earlier.....it is not the fuse.
Thanks for the great advice.........on looking at the boot hinge the wiring has lost it's outside protective cover at the point where it flexes.
The problem must lie within........should not be too difficult to replace the broken section.
Once again, many thanks Andy & Taxi Lord.

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / REVERSING LIGHTS

« on: 16 January 2014, 17:30:44 »

Can anyone help?
My reversing lights have stopped working on my 2.2 CDX manual gearbox.
The bulbs are fine.
What should I check next? Is it likely to be the gearbox switch?
Many thanks, Porks

Omega General Help / Water In Spark Plug Wells Omega 2002 2.2 CDX

« on: 11 November 2013, 14:17:08 »

Can anyone help?
Just driven 3 miles to local Tesco ....everything was fine.
Returned to car 30 mins later and it's running like a cyclinder is not firing. Limped home.
On removing the spark plug HT assembly I found all four spark plugs submerged in water.
1. The water is clean and smells like radiator water.
2. The radiator header tank is full.
3. Dipped the sump and no sign of water.
Many thanks,
Dave

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Heater Fan

« on: 04 August 2013, 09:17:40 »

The heater fan on my '03 2.2 CDX failed to start yesterday morning, this was a suprise as it had shown no signs of problems, i.e noisiness or intermittent faults.
While I'm working my way through past posts (which may take some time!) can anyone suggest where I should start looking first. P.S. It is not the fuse.
Many thanks.
