The omega's having some running issues when it gets hot.
It'll start fine when its cold, First time. No problems what so ever.
But when it gets hot it will sometimes cut out, Or when you switch it off (Nipping into shop's etc) for the minimal amount of time, When you come out sometimes it won't start, Until it goes cold.
RAC have been called out numerous times, With nothing found, But the first two times they stuck some sort of tool onto the end of the spark plug and on the coil and cranked it, And it started but apparently the tool is just to check for a spark? And then more recently (New year eve) we were on the way to a friends (about 1hr away) but about 1/2 of the journey we stopped for fuel, but left the car running knowing that if it was turned off it wouldn't start, But for some reason the car died by itself, And wouldn't start, So we pushed it out the fuel station and parked it, to ring the RAC, They came and tried to get info via diagnosis machine, But couldn't connect up to the car. So he tried to start it...First crank it fired up. About 1.5hrs after dieing....So we decided to carry to visit our friends, We got there fine, But as we went to leave the car wouldn't start, But luckily we were in two cars so the other car towed us, down the motorway (Not strictly correct but we had no choice.) Whilst being towed my dad tried bumping it, And on the second time it started, So we pulled over and disconnected tow line, And drove back fine.
Its previously been into a garage recommended by the RAC bloke, They had the car for 2 days. Stopping and starting without fault.
This needs sorting ASAP, Have you lot had anything similar? Or know anything?
