Thanks for that and will def contact Daves DTM. Brother in Law off round world for a few months, so might have to wait for a bit, but worth it rather than give those bandits the cash.

Cheers for the info

Sorry TB being thick.

I have cause to be in Nottingham from time to time as brother in law lives there so that would be a possibility. What do you suggest?

So the next piexe of the saga.....

It's not the fox Vx reckon because the ignition barrell was replaced with a much earlier version one, it is not sending the right signals to the locking/ alsrm electronics and therefore will not lock on the fob becuse the system is telling it the keys are still in ignition or the door is open.

VX suggest replacing all locks and resetting the electronics for a full fix.

Dread to think what that will cast as they quoted me £15 for five dashboard bulbs 'coz they are special ones!'

Plip coding £40.00, absolute robbery, how do they get away with it.....



Grrrrrrrrr

Hi Folks,

Just bought my Omega.

The remote plipper will unlock the car but not lock it. I have tried synchronising it, but it does absolutly nothing when I follow the procedure.

Any suggestions gratefully received

Hi folks,

just for info I have replaced HBV on my Meeg using the guide on here which was excellent (even down to recommending tea, as a plumber I can relate to such things!).

Found the Haynes manual to be a bit wooly on this matter so was really glad of the help.

Fine bunch of people on here, vastly more knowledgable about the finer points of Meegs and their engines.

All power to you chaps,

Omega General Help / Re: Gearbox Smoking!!!!

« on: 14 July 2009, 17:35:56 »

Sorry for the delay in replying got totally side tracked with a death in the family.

The radio has been in & ot recently, but all connections are ok.

No water ingresss around the gearbox/selector area so I think thats ok.

Engine has been spluttering and I suspect HBV dripping onto the Dis Pack, but would this cause a short in the gearbox I wonder?

What do you think?

My guess would be a selector "short" .. its electrical (fuse blown) and there's little else going to the autobox !!! I don't know what other wires run in the vicinity but that is probably the cause of the airbag like ... secondary action  

Thanks for that, that sounds as good a reason as any i've got.

What is the solution to that then........(Braces himself for expensive answer)

Oh nearly forgot, when then box was working the Snow Start button was iluminated and stayed on although the box was not operating in snow mode.....if that helps ny?

Thanks

How do you know it was the gearbox that was smoking?

The smoke was coming from the area of the transmission housing, but could be something else. I'm guessing it was because of the melted fuse.

Thanks again chaps

It didnt amuse me at the time I can tell you.....

It is driving in limp mode at the moment with no evidence so far of a repeat performance.

Thanks for your thoughts...I need them if I am to persevere with this beast.

Omega General Help / Gearbox Smoking!!!!

« on: 03 July 2008, 17:12:18 »

Hi folks,

Despite all the other problems I am trying to deal with my Omega at the moment, smoke started coming out of the centre cosole tday whilst sat i McDonalds, so bad I called the Fire Service because I thought it was about to go up!

The auto box fuse has blown a few times, but this time just melted into a gooey red glob (10 amp). The airbag light has also come on as well, so I am assuming the 'fire' has taken that out with it.

Has anyone had this happen to them, and what advise, besides as the fireman said 'keep wafting it and we will fill it with water if you like'....He was jiking I hasten to add....


Thanks

Phill
