Omega General Help / ABS ECU P/N?
« on: 15 January 2012, 14:44:10 »
Will be removing my ABS ecu soon but before I do that I need to shop around for refurb prices etc
Whats the part number of mine, as I am led to believe it is directly linked to a number of factors and I am struggling to find a definitive answer
My car is a preface (99 T) 3.0 MV6 Manual

Omega General Help / Putting my MV6 back on the road after being stood
« on: 15 January 2012, 14:40:33 »
Hi All,
When I needed to MOT my miggy I decided to SORN it and use a runaround vec I have (especially as winter was approaching), so I gave the miggy a few thick coats of wax and parked it at a friends.
Now a number of months down the line I want to get her back out again, as I have little or no experience with miggys what do I need to check?
It's a 3.0 preface manual
Cheers

Same issue here too in my MV6 Elite...
Going to check the wiring under the seat see if I can spot something obvious

Spoke to a few custom places but for now it's quite a way out of my price range!

Omega General Help / Next one - Exhausts
« on: 17 May 2011, 19:48:44 »
Well I've finally got fed up of the quads on my miggy, they just dont suit it now at all, so I want something different but am struggling to find something good for a reasonable price.
Don't want duplex unless it's relativly 'normal' looking, a nice twin would suit perfectly, but wouldn't mind something with a nice note to it too
Where am I best off looking? Going to trawl ebay again but it's frivillous!

Right then, heres a pic of whats under my glovebox (well behind it)
Also I discovered this, was sat in the back seat cleaning up my leather when I pulled on the ciggie lighter in the back a bit too hard, is this wiring for rear heated seats?

Sorry they are leather, not the biggest issue if it doesn't work just wondered if there was some switch at fault as I've read many a thread on the drivers side failing.
I'll grab some pictures for you, trying to see if the previous owner has any ideas

Omega General Help / Few niggles, assistance?
« on: 22 April 2011, 16:37:48 »
Right got a few wee things wrong with the Omega that I could do with some opinions on!
Firstly my speedo doesnt work, ABS/TC lights on constantly and the cars mpg reads stupidly low, this went from an intermittant fault to a now permenant one, read up about ECU issues, mine is a manual car does that effect it? It also can affect powersteering when this fault occurs
Secondly the sunroof has stopped working completely, is it a case of taking apart the mechanism and cleaning the disc with switch cleaner?
Drivers side heated seat doesn't work, passenger one does, in this weather I'm not bothered in the slightest but if my car has a button I'd like whats on the other side of it to work!
Heatshields on the downpipes have rotted and rattle like crazy, I can see they are bolted on near the top, are these needed? Or can I rag them off without issue
Inbuilt satnav doesn't work, hasn't done since I disconnected the battery when it was broken before, it's a self install type thing so maybe nothing you guys can help with but it's a tomtom unit, from what I can see under the glovebox has been what seems to be a motherboard tucked away...
Any help with the above appreciated!

Meth's works too, you may notice when it's gone that the paintwork will have a mark on it from where the badges were, this needs t-cutting or similar out, I used G3 compount

Omega General Help / 3.0 rough running
« on: 13 April 2011, 22:58:43 »
Right, had this issue with the Omega for a few days since I had it back, basically a missfire, no power, sounds like a scooby and is generally rough as toast.
So thanks to Stevemoss for providing a coilpack and leads, which after some scuffed knuckles, lost loose change and some blood I can now say the new coilpack is in, and it's made little difference, car does seem a little better, but given the condition of the old coilpack and leads I'm not surprised, the right bank's rocker gasket is leaking too as I took the plugs out to discover them oil soaked.
So now I'm a bit lost, do I continue to try and see if it's the cat's? Or is something else at play here.
It's hard to explain how it's running, but 'rough' would be an adequate term...
