Another Omega owner joins the club, which I've just discovered by visiting the Vauxhall Omega Parts website. (as I live on the other side of the Channel, the car is an Opel of course...).
It's a nice year-2000 dark-blue 2.5 TD estate with the big BMW 6 cylinder engine, automatic transmission, and a boot large enough to gobble up a full complement of furniture on a house-moving day. This car is also crammed with lots of interesting little surprises that pop up occasionally.
The latest one I've discovered is the "automatic a/c panel blackout". As I drove the 500 miles down from Brittany to Toulouse today I noticed that the whole a/c panel goes dark without notice. This happens when coasting or braking to a stop (engine idling). The lights, buttons, temperature settings and other symbols go out and the heating system stops responding exactly when the cars stops. Every time.
After driving off again, the system can be reset: press "off" and "auto" and all is well again until the next stop.
Are any other members of this club familiar with this - ahem - feature?
Cheers
DJ
