The joys of Omega ownership are starting to show  :-/

1. I have a creaking sound coming from the rear passenger side on bumps/speed bumps ... cant be springs cause they were done not long ago and just passed mot so is it shock absorber or doughnut bush .. ? ... shocky doest look like its leaking and car seems to handle ok .
2. Trivial but rather annoying rattle coming from passenger door near the lock button area .. goes away when door is locked , i hate squeeks and rattles in a car .
3. Gear lever rattle which i belive is pretty standard but is there a cure ?
4. Indicator/cruise stalk wont stay up when turning right .. cancels itself or comes of before even turning or moving steering wheel ... suppose a new one would cure that .
5. Aircon doesnt work ... hopefully just needs gassing .

Thats all i can think of just now 
The £ signs are rolling now .... :-/

Any advice or tips greatly recieved

1, subframe bush can cause creaking

2, door card off and add some foam / tape?

3, dunno

4, yup, new stalk time (check yours is fully seated and clicked into place as well though)

5, aircon specialist will tell you 

[Welung666]

1) get some PTFE spray and spray each flexible point on the rear end in turn I.E. spray donut bush then take for a drive, if the squeek is still there, move on. If it's gone you've found the cause

2) It's normally caused by the locating strip on the door card seperating at the glued point. Use some 1/4" self tappers and screw the strip back a touch tighter than the original glue line.

3) Cheap fix is spray grease Good and thick on the pivot under the leather gater

4) New one I'm afraid.

5) Hopefully

To stop the front door pins rattling......

Prise open the red/orange cap with a thin blade (it does come out, but not all the way I think) and this frees up the plastic pin. Wrap some thin tape around where it fits once maybe twice around. Job done, no more rattling.

There was a post on this with pics, but I can't find it.

You'll see how it's done once you get that cap out

simples!
