Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: How to replace the battery on a V6 Elite

« on: 15 June 2009, 10:25:32 »

hi guys - another newbie here - with a problem!
I've changed what was a totally flat/knackered battery, everything in the car works with new one fitted, except for one small very annoying thing - the alarm will not stop sounding! Anyone got info on how to reset this?

next question - how do I know which one is dodgy? can tech 2 tell me, or is it easy enough to tell? Also, how easy is it to replace?

I think I know where the relevant sensors are, but, for the avoidance of doubt, can anyone tell me exactly where they are, and what exactly I'm looking for/what do they look like? As far as I'm aware, there is one at front, on rear, both on same side, and if I remember correctly, they are on the near-side??
Thanks folks

it has a dipped beam pic, with arrows pointing up, & down. in the central info display. looked at it in the dark last night, when parked up. the lights are definitely moving up & down on their own!

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / MoT - Lights

« on: 31 July 2009, 09:55:21 »

Hi guys, had "the great white" in for an MoT yesterday, (i have a wee deal going, in that i put it in, they MoT it, & just tell me what needs doing) I knew the exhaust needed replacing from the cats back - done, & they've decided the brake lines need replacing. Pretty fair really as it hasn't been properly used recently, due to my being out of the country a lot.
However, they have pointed out an issue with my xenons (standard police fit). The level is fine, & suddenly started to move up & down, & repeated this a few times. I must admit I haven't really noticed this, although as I write this, I do recall the level light on the dash flickering on & off every now and then. Does anyone have any ideas what could be the cause of this. Or do I need to get hooked up to a box of tricks to find out what the prob is?
Any help would be very much appreciated!!

sounds like a plan then! thanks for all help/advice given 
I think I'll be back in touch sooner rather than later - couple of other issues have materialised, but I'll get the fault codes first.......

mine is on the other side. unfortunately that didn't work. I'm assuming that the power sounder batteries are knackered. Mine has the soldered in type. is it worth trying to source new ones, or do I look for some elsewhere?
Any suggestions out there?
Other than this, the car is running absolutely fine  :-?

at the risk of sounding stupid (i'm having a senior day today) is that beside the power steering fluid reservoir?

I had a funny feeling that the low beam light wouldn't generate a fault code.
I've tried the TC switch, & nothing seems to happen - I'm trying to do all the simple fixes first, although it doesn't look like I'm in luck!

Thanks for that - I've noticed that it doesn't show when the car starts & is stationary, & only kicks in once the car has been on the move for a bit. I'll get that checked asap - fingers crossed for the easy fix!

I've managed to get 5 minutes to check the fault codes, & the only one showing is 0704. I've had a look on the site, & it seems to be something to do with the clutch, although I'm aware that it may be something else.
Does this make any sense to anyone? I just find it a bit strange that I've got 2 warning lights, & only one fault code.

Omega General Help / warning lights & general once over

« on: 03 November 2010, 10:35:00 »

Hi all - now that I'm going to be in the UK for at least the next 6 months (allegedly), I've got the v6 special MoT'd & back on the road.
I'd appreciate an opinion on the car, as to where I go with it. The 'low beam/field vision' light is on, & the TC light is on. I had to have the ABS ECU replaced a while back, & this would intemitently flicker on & off, although it is now on all the time.
Is there anyone near Aberdeen that would be willing to cast their eye over the car? I'm big enough to realise it needs some work doing to it - I just need to figure out if it's worth me doing. I have it in my head that there is someone in Kirkcaldy - or have I just imagined that?? Or should I just bite the bullet & head into Vauxhall.....?
Your thoughts are appreciated on this.
Cheers   8-)
