well here we have update on the omega td.there was a brown wire that ran by the engine ecu that was melted and melting other wires in its path. wire is now repaired. the lights on the centre  consul on the gearbox are now working ok. but and there is a big but.in 1 and 2 gear on the automatic seems to i dont no but when you put it in these gears or put it in drive and let it do itself it sort of rebuff ie it wants like stop .its ok in 3rd and now drive. of which im not sure its working in drive. not driving it that far since its been repaired. so people please tell me what it is.

i think it was the 2nd one in from the front of car. anyway i have got a gearbox selector switch.and it will be fitted tomorrow i hope.if this is fitted and no improvement . then im afraid it will have to go in the sky or somebody buy it off me with a spare engine.engine has all the stuff on it ie the fuel pump the alternator its all there just have to put it in . i also have a fairley new starter and also a turbo unit. plus other stuff i have collected. this will be the last omega i will have of which i have had five.
