Thanks to everbody for the warm forum-welcome.

I`m enjoying reading through all the posts; getting familiar with Omega-topics old & new.....(as a former-lurker) I`ve previously used info from the O.O.F to remediate various faults:
Replaced an 'exploded' DIS pack (2.5L V6) - what a truly-horrid place to put that!
Cleaned out a sticky IAC valve/gummed-breather (2L 16V.)
Located and disconnected a faulty power sounder; before my neighbours killed me!
`Done lots of (routine) oil and filter changes....and (more than a few times) replaced Cam & Crank reluctors - they must be of rather poor quality or perhaps `are just a bit fragile.

It`s a great sense of satisfaction doing repairs myself; `but it often takes me a while to complete them; as I`m rather a 'pernickety' Debs.  ;D

Thanks for the timely mention of the stalk`s high/low beam shortcomings TheBoy and albitz  :y
You must be mindreaders; actually my stalk is starting to get 'loose' and will jump from 'dip to high' when using a trafficator...that`s the reason I thought I`d kill two birds with one stone and use the column-trim disassembly job as an excuse to fit cruise as well.  ;)

I`ve read through back-posts on O.O.F and `now know how to disassemble the column shrouds and fit a new stalk and a cruise actuator....so, soon I`ll be checking out what`s on offer on Ebay.  :y

Hello & Welcome  :y

Probably not far from you, I'm in Flintshire

Have just done Cruise as well, bargain price of 99p!  so the bargains are out there.  I did have to source a stalk though, got one of the new ebay £20 odd quid ones, wish I hadn't it doesnt lock properly when turning right.

I would use either a very cheap 2nd hand, or get a real one from the dealer.

Thanks for info. and the welcome VXL V6; I think he sold it today on eBay....actually, I was watching the bidding (hoping to bid) but it went 'too rich' for me: but, well done JamesV6CDX you did well!  :y
I`ll keep a 'weather-eye' on eBay for another cruise-actuator from now on.  ;)

Hi Debs

Worth keeping an eye on the parts section on this forum as lots of people breaking Omegas, trouble with eBay is it's either 'silly cheap' or vastly over priced.... I always miss the 'silly cheap' items!

Cheers
