Will give it a go, although Its never switched off with the ignition since I've had it. Just another problem to add to the long list of faults since I got her 3 months ago :-[ I wish I still had my old one :'(

Sounds like someone has bypassed the ignition switch, perhaps to use the radio without the key....... :-\ :-\  Although iirc the Omega radio will work for an hour without the key, well in the pre facelift it would..... :y

My 2006 does this occasionally. Probably just a firmware bug in the radio. I'd ignore it unless it starts doing it regularly.

Obviously pull the fuse when it plays up, or you'll have a flat battery too. ;)

Put the fuses back in this morning and all fine again, didn't even ask for the code, although computer had reset itself and it was New Years day 1999.... if only ;)
 Still doesn't come on with ignition though :'(
Thanks again for all the help :y
