Poor girl reached her final destination. After 8 months trying, I couldn't make her work. As of this moment she is for sale ( most likely in spares, as I already sold leather seats) Sadly I'm too far away from you guys so this information is not of big importance.
I bought 508 estate as a long distance cruiser, and an Outlander as a daily. This topic can bi locked.

Yes, same drivetrain, just one year older.
I have incomplete wiring from previous donor also, but I don't have time, or will to do wiring.
Couple years earlier I walked away from similar 3.0 Omega with full Irmscher pack just because somebody did dodgy LPG install and I couldn't be bothered with wiring, vacuums and similar stuff.

At this point, if that is only step I can take, i'm throwing the towel.
Omega is registered and MOT-ed until June. If I don't make it work buy then, she will be dismantled and sold in spares.

Still no luck  :-[
After Christmas and winter holiday I took Omega back from mechanic with no results.
Current situation is this:
Factory ECU/immobiliser is giving me P1613 - immobiliser no or wrong signal. Car reads immo and key but engine don't start..

ECU/imobiliser from donor car is giving B3045 - Anti theft signal voltage low, and it doesn't recognize key ( B3061 wrong transponder key, b3055 transponder key problem) which doesn't make sense cause it worked fine on donor car..
Now I'm trying to find someone who can do Immo off on this donor car ECU, and then we'll see what happens.
Does anyone have any better ideas??

Yes it is.
Two possible scenarios  are:
-Broken door handle
-Plastic adjuster that goes between door handle and door opening mechanism. He can be screwed/unscrewed, so I would start from there.
You'll need to remove door card first to take a look.

Hope it starts for you for a Christmas present  :)🎁
Hardly   :'(
Last night ECU came from ''specialist'' completely dead. ( Here in Serbia we would say : ''Killed as a rabbit'' ) Not even diagnostics worked.
We tried to put ECU, immobiliser and transponder from a donor car, and same immobiliser fault is shown on diagnostic ( same before specialist tried to fix the first one), and the car is still cranking but no start.
Now we'll try to disable immobiliser on first ecu ( if it's not fried) and then we'll see.
Rail pressure fault is solved, so now we wait for immobiliser delete ( hopefully successful ). Wiring is definitely showing it's age at this point.

Fresh update from this morning:
 Mechanic sad that no start was caused by lack of pressure somewhere between HPFP and injectors ( which he sorted), and other problem is ECU ( immobiliser is making some sort of problem) which should bi sorted today. It is possible since I changed ecu and immobiliser chasing no start problem at the first place...

Not so good news.
Since late September, Omega won't start. Stupid BMW engine decided to die without any warning or reason.
I drove her normally, parked, and after couple of hours she wouldn't start.
Long story short. After 2 mechanics and changed basically everything ( HPFP, lift pump, presure sensors, cam-crank sensors, ecu, injectors etc) I'm ready to throw the towel. I need to collect her from this second and probably last mechanic with no result.
Car starts with start spray, and dies as soon as I stop spraying. Diagnostics show low rail pressure, there is normal fuel feed after fuel filter ( I changed lift pump anyway ) but it just wont start.
Any ideas before I attack her with grinder??

Standard Omega problems are : Rust around rear wheel arches ( remove rear plastic covers near side skirts for detail inspection), bulkhead around steering column ( rust can bee seen from inside if you remove carpet, or from outside if you lift plastic cover beneath windscreen wipers)
Front suspension is weak ( especially with heavy 3.2),
When testing auto gearboxes, I usually drive it slowly first, and look how it shifts. If there is hesitation while shifting usually there is a problem ( how big that's hard to say). Most of the auto gearboxes perform ok when pushed hard but they show first signs of problem when they are driven lightly. Off course, you get it's temperature up first.
V6 problems are common across the whole range, so it's same story as for your Calibra. ( oil cooler, cam cover gaskets, head gaskets, exhaust manifold gaskets etc). And they drink fuel like Merc S 500 uphill towing a trailer  :D

No. You need double DIN head unit paired with that color screen+ wiring harness. Color screen is controlled via head unit, not through wiper stalk. Other option is to find HU from Astra/Vectra with color screen but there's still mater of wiring..
Speedo cluster is separate part and I believe they are interchangeable as long as transmission is the same, but I'm not sure. M57 ( DTI ) has ''drive by wire'' instead of cable, so there might bee differences.

We completed another road trip. I still enjoy driving her, although low ground clearance and RWD are not the best option for these kind of trips. Most of the sightseeing we done I had to cover with extreme caution, but we succeeded.
New rear springs and shock absorbers are waiting to be fitted ( Omega is sitting low at the back), she needs a new clutch, headliner is sagging, and summer Michelins are on there way out. I'll not chase new 16'' as I'm looking for factory 5 spoke Omega 17'' . Chances are that they will bee attached to the rest of the car  :D
Also I'm planning decarbonization treatment, hopefully we will reduce CO2 emission, and some of that black smoke when driving full throttle. Friend of mine who patented this treatment says that it will improve performance of the engine also.
