Not the first pic of an Omega electrical fire that i've seen, although IIRC the minifacelift fault was over by the ECU wiring.

I agree with the power sounder theory though, and IMHO, it would be quite difficult to start an intentional fire there.

Sorry to hear about it though mate.  :'(

i don't think somone set light to it, i have seen quite a few Omegas go up in exactly the same place, as mentioned could be the power sounder wiring.

Every Omega has one, drivers side, under the scuttle.

I removed mine, even though its a facelift.

Have you got a factory alarm?

If so, chances are you've got one :y :y

Must confess this thread has got me thinking... I knew I'd read about it but it was one of those "It wont happen to me" scenarios... I'm thinking it may be time to rip mine out ::) ::) ::)

Alternatively, fit an inline fuse holder with a low value fuse (1 amp should be OK at a guess) into each of the 2 power supplies to the power sounder.

Just got back to this thread

i only went on what the fireman told me

there was very little surrounding the location of the fire and no traces of any fire under the scuttle panel

forgot to say
after reconecting the battery checked the car and it starts and runs fine
but the firing is damaged so it looks bleak for the old girl
