Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: yet another audio question..........!

« on: 09 December 2006, 21:46:35 »

I have recently replaced the fron speakers in my pre facelift i used alpine e-type 6.5 inch components (was going to use the r type but honestly there is not much difference). I got them from caraudiodirect http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/ they only cost me about £35 and they sound great possible the best sound i have got without using a cross-over. Would say go for one of the top end alpine units the 9855 for example and get a link lead. Other than that the sony bt-5000 is good for undr £300 and should link in no probs. Would porbably go for a seperate sub and amp in the rear possible one of the JBL gt seires as they are really unbeatble for the money, try and head for a box though instead of free air as you will loose loads of punch.

Try http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk they were pretty cheap when i wanted to get some bits plus they do most adaption leads and speaker housings. Plus this one for under £200 is a rather tasty unit http://www.caraudiodirect.co.uk/alpine-cda9812rb-p-2193.html

Omega General Help / miss fire

« on: 08 April 2007, 18:18:31 »

Happy Easter Guys and Gals,

Ok small easter problem with the car. Got a miss fire on one of the cylinders not sure which one all i know is it runs like a complete bag. I have today replaced all the spark plugs and there is no difference. I did however notice some oil in the plug wells on the passenger side when i replaced them. Does anyone have any info on what it might be?

There was only about a teaspoons worth of oil in each chamber. When i restarted it there ws no change at all.

Many thanks in advnace

I had a look at the oil little while ago and there was no problem i will check again in the morning from what i remember when i last topped up the water it just smelled like anti freeze. There is definatly a leak of something nasty there somewhere. I hope it is not the head gaskets as i just had one replacedwhen the garage badly fitted a timing belt and had to replace 2 valves.

Ok,

I have got a wierd burnt petrol smell when i first get into the car i had a problem with the heater controls a little while back (as in they were completely perished). I got some new ones but both the hiss from the vac pipes and the smell remain. I do not get the smell whilst the car is running only after it has been turned off and sitting for a while. Also when i took the stereo out there was fluid on the top of the head unit which smelt exactly the same as the smell in the car. Anyone got any suggestions?

Have a look at http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1152745540

That looks like the guide for an omega C unfortunatly i have an omega B
Err, no such car as Omega C. I'm sure this was a typo, and you mean't to type Omega B Facelift

Does sound like one of vac pipes may be off...
