hi to you all, can you help? just bought omega 2.2cd 2001 about a hour ago but on way home a light on dashboard came on its yellow and after looking at book its the one with spanner on and at same time as come on gearbox played up lost gear revved up as not in gear then went into what i think is limp mode. i stopped a few hundred yards down road turned off and the restarted car it was then ok but a couple times although light did not come on its felt as though gears slipped and the rectified itself, has anyone any ideas? many thanks,brian

As it's a 2.2 you'll need to get the codes read off the ECU to pinpoint the problem. Where are you located? We have a lot of members with code reading capabilities.

Proz - what was the error code that your lambda issue threw up?  Brian collected the car today and it was on fumes and filled up, I think, at Tesco in Cupar.  Threw a fault shortly thereafter....

[Proz]

I think from memory it once gave a P0130 lambda... although i reset it and it never came back .... this was when i was getting the P0170 and P0420 as well .

Although i reset the lambda code and it never came back  :-/

I did get a   P0700   MIL request from Transmission Control (TC) Module  when my cam sensor went but i cant find anything else like 0703 or 0730 ....  :-/
