i would check your battery connections and alternator output
i
had the same symptoms when my alternator packed up

you have not mentioned any starting problems but worth a check before you spend any money

Omega General Help / warning lights and other probs

« on: 05 March 2011, 17:44:09 »

anyone have an idea,
over the last few weeks i have had the "abs" and "tc" lights come on the dash at the same time and remain on, at the same time the speedo drops and doesnt work and no mileage clocks up, everything apart from the time works on the trip computer and the steering becomes heavier than normal. also the radio has a mind of its own and turns itself on and off at its own leisure.  :-/

Omega General Help / Re: lpg conversion....

« on: 26 February 2011, 17:08:28 »

with regards to my original post, ive had a reply from  1 company with a price of £1200 inc vat, they do remove the inlet manifold (which was a question i was told to ask), says they have done many omega conversions and that it is registered with the relevant bodies but no certificate is issued as he claims this is no longer done.
they also say their prices are lower than many others as they are distributors of OSCAR-N (multipoint sequential) systems in the UK so they get them straight from the factory. they say the conversion takes min 3 days.
Still unsure about this as an earlier reply to my post said that you can pick up a system for a lot cheaper than ive been quoted.
Is there anyone on the forum that is qualified to fit the conversions and do they do them frequently and for how much?
Thanks

Dont mean to sound off about this...
Have just sent a mail to 1 of the companies i requested a price from - Autogas solutions Uk who claim to have 10years experience of conversions and give prices for 4, 6 and 8 cylinder vehicles, and have added the questions listed, so waiting on a reply. will let you know what they say when i hear back
cheers

unfortunately i dont have the time, resources, tools, space to start doing it myself. was looking at getting it done proffesionally if i was to do it all. currently seen prices around £1400 inc vat and extras. was after some advice about the pro's and cons of having it done and whether or not it would be worth spending this amount. also wanted to know if there was anywhere local to me that i could get advice from.
thanks

Can anyone advise on how to go about getting an lpg conversion sorted on my 2000 w-reg 2.5 petrol. dont really want to get rid of it but could do with an alternative to the rising fuel prices. dont really do a lot of miles every week but is costing a small fortune at moment. im based in the north west (Oldham). just tryin to get some feedback as to the pro's an cons of having this done and an idea of cost and wheres best to go to get it done.
cheers all

Omega General Help / Re: Diff problems continue.....

« on: 12 November 2010, 18:15:54 »

ok.......
been down to the garage and watched while he tried to knock the living daylights outa the diff.
the driveshaft had somehow siezed to the inside of the diff hence the reason he said it was jammed in.
anyway, managed to get it free with a little help from 'mr  heat' and i left him to it.
ever the optimist - i got a call about an hour later with the news  that the driveshaft wont fit snuggly back into the diff as i think - without him outrightly sayin it, that he's shafted the shaft aswel - kn*b!!!!
the outcome now being that another driveshaft is required, (wellung666 if you online.. ).
The saga continues..
Think its about time i changed who i use for repairs ::

whats the process for changing the diff on the 2.5??
have my car in the garage currently and have just had call off the mechanic to say he's having problems, getting it changed..
says he has the diff out but now the driveshaft apparently is jammed solid and theres a small clip just on the inside of the shaft that seems to be causing him another prob. is this a simple job for someone who runs a garage everyday or do we think he's taking the preverbial?
he also says that if he cant shift the shaft then its going to be a replacement one
