Which is my excuse, because after the slow miles she's nursed it, being the sane and sensible driver we all aspire to be, when I do get to use it it's playtime a requirement that the car (once suitable warm) gets a "excerise" towards the higher end of the range.

I'm sure I remember being told that I should test the multirams properly from time to time.
Exercising them will stop them sticking ::)

How does the adaptive gear box work on these .

Thanks

Steve.   :y


It takes account of road speed, throttle position, rate of change of throttle, engine and gearbox temperature, external temperature, level of grip available, presence (or not) of a passenger and then works out the ideal gear ratio, all in 3 milli-seconds.
It then engages a completely different one.

I emailed Vauxhall to ask. They replied today with :-

Dear Andy B

Thank you for your email dated 12 February 2009.

I can confirm, following receipt of your email, I contacted our Technical Department.  They advised that, unfortunately Vauxhall Omega vehicles do not have an adaptable gearbox.

Once again I thank you for contacting us and for allowing me to comment.

Yours sincerely



Becky Lancaster
Customer Care Manager

Quite whether that is an answer to my question of - do any Omegas have adaptive gearboxes I'm still not sure  :-/  ;D  ;D  ;D

I'm sure I read in the owners hand book that when towing the gearbox would adapt to reduce the amount of shift downs that would be caused by the extra load on the engine. :-/
