Anybody know how much the dealers charge for the upgrades  :question

I found a cheap one at £35, but others wanted 70+vat!

ring a few

Often be their min charge - 1/2 hour diagnostic

and others will look at you like you have sprouted another head   ;D

Have a word on the Q T with Phil (Dr O of the Yahoo Group) at Lookers in Ellesmere Port. There's nothing about Omegas he doesn't know & has his own proper Tech II. He did mine years ago, I'm sure you could both come to an arrangement!

Cheers, if they ever let me on the yahoo group!

I found lookers at Sealand or Deeside expensive (deeside great for parts though)

Dickens at Wrexham were the cheapest for tech2 work
Dickens Mold refused to try in case they broke it!

certainly sounds like that

Its mini facelift on, so generally 98 onwards.

Think the real giveaway is the last LETTER of your VIN being a W

Newby here (so sorry if this is a stupid question/post!) - I live in Brackley and saw it mentioned earlier - Im using a local garage for all the work on my Omega 3.0 right now, they seem pretty knowledgeable but it sounds like maybe there is someone local who may be even better ? Any clues to who they are etc appreciated ! What does the firmware upgrade do exactly ?

Cheers
