Omega General Help / Re: Elite ...complete lock out.

« on: 24 August 2025, 14:38:17 »

Both of my cop cars, will respond to forcing the door lock method, but this Elite doesn't respond well to having the power from the battery completely isolated or having a flat battery....problem now solved with a bit of er co-lateral damage, lesson should have been learnt the first time cheers guys.

Omega General Help / Elite ...complete lock out.

« on: 24 August 2025, 09:31:03 »

 School boy error....I isolated the battery last night,and of course the car won't let me back in this morning. I have tried the usual thing of trying to unlock with the  key, and that's a no. I have the front grill removed as I'm prepping the bonnet for a repaint, and have tried to fiddle around to get the bonnet released...but it'll have to released from inside the locked car. I'm at a bit of a loss as to solve this one.

I bought two sets one black and one cream on ebay, BUT they have to be ''altered '' to make them fit as they are a bit sketchy on the design side of things, but can be done with a bit of patience and sharp scissors

Just to chip in...reference the green estate. It's been on ebay for a long time and the seller never responded to the three enquiries from myself. Might be better to contact Gareth Mcaleer via Facebook, he keeps a lot of Omega parts, and he's a reliable seller.

Omega General Help / Re: NGK, Bosch O2 sensors.

« on: 17 May 2025, 08:44:19 »

 You are right, but the sensor was flagged up on the MOT noting the condition of the connection, but working OK but it was recommended that it be changed, hence the iffy ebay sensor. So I'm thinking, eliminate the cheapo sensor first with a known reliable brand, and if the problem persists then it'll be open the can of worms time.

Omega General Help / NGK, Bosch O2 sensors.

« on: 16 May 2025, 18:43:03 »

 Does anyone know of a reliable supplier, of decent quality O2 sensors? As I need a pre cat one, as I stupidly put an ebay one from RTG on, and although they have a five year guarantee, it has only lasted less that a hundred miles and showing a PO150 code. So I'm not going to bother dealing with RTG and the so claimed five year guarantee, I'm just going to get rid, and take the lesson. So any pointers to a good source will be much appreciated

So it looks like these won't fit the facelift 2.5, which is the car in question.

I don't know whether they are going to fit the car, as the person who is 'stuck' has zero knowledge as to what the car requires and who's going to fit it, so  I'm sending both FOC as a favour, and at this point he's on his own as far as fitment etc.

Omega General Help / Crankshaft sensor question.

« on: 20 April 2025, 12:32:48 »

Having a bit of a stock take this morning, and was looking through the crank sensors, and all OE, no knock offs. But checking the part numbers,  they were all 90492006, but upon checking the plugs, there was a mix of square and oval plugs and all three pin. So could the square ones be used on my 3.2's?

There was a mention here recently about the coolant transfer pipe being available possibly on Amazon? And I think someone put up link for them, but I can't seem  to find it...anyone

Weird thing is that I can drive a bus that's over thirty years old on my car licence, and yet they took my PCV licence away at seventy.   I keep looking at my drive way, and wonder whether that Routemaster on my bucket list will fit

Thanks Al, just been rummaging through the sheds, and found some used ones from a sort of estate sale/ project.
