Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Radio doesnt boot up from start
« on: 22 July 2010, 23:36:37 »
Hi all,
A wierd problem occurred tonight. I always leave my radio switched on so that when I fire my 51 plate Elite up I get music! however tonight the readout showed nothing, not the BOSE sign nor even the time and date (which is the default off mode!) I turned ignition off and back on hoping this would solve said problem but to no avail. The car currently is sitting with the radio lights on and read out in top showing outside temperature, I presume this is now draining the battery :-/
Any clues how to reset the radio would be very helpful
Thanks

Happy days. Job done for £64, full works, oiled and ready to roll with 950 of refrigerant gas.. very thorough and the chap was a diamond geezer.
I would recommend Air Medic to anyone. Now I hope we have late summer heatwave 8-)

Omega General Help / something has died in my windscreen washer tank
« on: 21 August 2009, 01:50:12 »
Hi Oofers
I think there is a dead something in my windscreen washer system as it really pongs when you squirt the jets at the screen.
Is it possible to simply drain the tank or should I just fill to brim with clean water and carry on filling so the system sort of flushes itself then add concentrated windscreen wash.

Omega General Help / Re: Buying advice
« on: 18 August 2009, 12:49:38 »
Hi.. Welcome to Oof
If you do want to become an owner my personal choice would be "obviously duh " the newest model (saloon or estate)you can afford in Elite spec = all the toys, majority of which came with leather as standard. 2.6V6 or above as the engines are pretty much indestructible and can go on to v high mileage..always ask if the cambelt has been changed cos if this is overlooked your goose can be cooked
Get one with a fully marked service book and if any niggles crop up their are many faces on here to help/guide you through.
One problem that seems to reoccur is the HBV which can be a pain but generally Omega ownership is a pleasure
hope this helps

Omega General Help / Ignition Key battle
« on: 01 July 2009, 09:48:32 »
Hi
small tale to tell, got in the old car last night after a pig of a commute back from the City , hot sweaty and tired!
plipped the door locks open, so far so good, then inserted the key to fire her up but it would not turn in the lock. I jiggled it and wiggled it for what seemed like ages - The car had been in the station car park all day in the blazing heat and was like a sweat box, all I wanted was to get home .
Anyway after about 10 minutes of ranting and more jiggling and wiggling of the key it finally released and I was able to start the engine.
Is it because of the heat that the barrel may have expanded and caused the problem or is their gunk in there. Or is the lock mechanism failing!
Would a squirt of WD40 help or harm ?
It also happened this morning to a smaller degree, 3 or 4 minutes jiggling and it finally allowed me to turn the dam thing.
