If you can find someone else not using there car, then swap the battery, and see if that one drains as well. Will save u buying a new one, just to find that drains anyway

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: New VX Style Flip Key

Martin has done 2 for me and both have been perfect..would agree it is better to get new blades and have them cut as the pin hole seemed to be a weak point.
I have used mine on a daily basis now for several months and it is fine..actually I think it fits into your pocket better than existing type..but just own preference.
Thanks mate, invaluable to get first hand experience. When I find the Omega thats out there waiting for me to buy. This will be near the top of the 'to do list!'

Really, thats very reasonable tbh. Did you use an Astra or Veccy flip key? Or the fatter Antara flip key (Antara has the same size thick blade, unlike the new thinner blades)?
I havent bought an Omega yet. Still looking, but when I do can I give u a shout?
Oh and any pics of the ones you've done?
Cheers mate

Have seen some people before try cutting the key to bits and transferring all the internals.
Have seen someone with an Astra get a new style key, cut a new key to fit the older style car, and then use tech2 to programme the key to the older style cars ecu. All that was needed was the cars 4 digit code.
Any ideas if this can be done with an Omega?

Has anyone on here been able to convert the Omega key, to the newer VX flip style ones?
Have seen them done on VX sites ive been on before, but not sure if it could be done on the Omega. Its an awesome mod if it can be done

I've just turned 20, and have had Omega's since I was 18. First was a 2002 2.2 CDX manual, now have a 2.6 MV6 manual and two ex police auto 3.2's.
I never really cared about the image tbh, all cars my friends have are utter rubbish. 106's, Focus', other small cars that aren't too great.
It costs a fair bit to run, insure and tax compared to ohter vehicles. But that's how it is. Whenever my friends and I go on trips, they always want to go in one of the Omega's. It's far more comfortable then anything, even the Range Rover I have.
I'd say go for it, you won't regret it
Thanks mate, ye same here, all my friends are in Corsa's etc, and isnt my scene. Don't tell me you have a RangeRover, one of my favourite cars
Will do, cheers buddy, got any pics of your cars?

Slightly of topic, but how often do Irmscher front bumpers come up for sale, and what sort of money do they make?
Think they make the car look a million times freshr.
Rare and exspensive, you have to be on the ball to get one.
Ah well, you never know
Surprised how big the Omega site is to be honest. After spending 18 months on the Astra site, am surprised. Especially considering the ratio of Omegas to Astras on the road
