Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Strange central locking problems

« on: 22 July 2009, 20:37:03 »

l have 2 problems with the central locking in my Omega.
The 1st and most worrying is tha fact that the car unlocks itself. No rhyme or reason. l use the key or fob. l leave the car and sometimes come back to find it open.
The 2nd is more funny. My passenger door wont unlock when one of my more rotund (fat) friend is in the car. l have to unlock, lock, unlock, lock, unlock the drivers door until the passenger door unlocks. The button pops up a little bit then shoots down again. lt has happened with other people but seems to happen whenever my mate is in the car. ls there any wirering around the seat or is it like my mate claims, that my car just really likes him

The exhaust is great. l just need to find out if the supplier does an exhaust for my 4x4.

Any help finding my posts or details of supplier would be greatly appreciated.

Omega General Help / Little valve at back of head not working

« on: 26 August 2009, 12:16:07 »

While having some work done on the engine it was found that the small valve that is suppopsed to open when you hit the throttle doesnt open.
How would this effect throttle response or economy.
Any ideas how to fix it or trace what the problem might be.
The valve isnnt siezed.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

General Car Chat / Re: Decanting argon shield gas

« on: 28 August 2009, 10:41:59 »

l do decant 300 bar compressed air at the moment for airgun shooting. From a 7ltr dive bottle to a .5ltr rifle tank. The kit uses a low volume slow bleed system which would just take to long to fill the 10 ltr argon bottle.
The argon is less than 300 bar but is on a much larger scale. l would only decant it into the smaller argon bottle which usually goes back to the main supplier for exchange when empty so will always be in test

General Car Chat / Re: Brought a Polish Stainless steel exhaust

« on: 17 August 2009, 20:35:48 »

To clarify,
l was working with the car on axle stands.
lt took ages to remove the old exhaust. The 4 bolts near the cats all sheared. l had to file the the remains down. Then drill them out. With a battery drill.
The nuts on the clamps by the back box rounded off. l ended up cutting through both pipes with a hacksaw.
Fitting the new exhaust went quickly. l had it fitted. Then opened up to smear exhaust paste where needed. Then tightened up and engine running in under 45 minutes.
The slight differences to the original are no different than other pattern parts.
All in all the new exhaust was fitted without any modifying or problems.
