Bit of an urgent one this fellas. Sorry.
After screwing it all back together, I finally got the Omega started for the first time today, (about 30 minutes ago actually).
With the battery booster it took some cranking to get it going. I put this down to the fuel filter being replaced, fuel rail being removed, (therefore zero fuel pressure), and the oil and filter being replaced. Also when it did start it sounded like a bag of spanners for the first 10 seconds or so, (so I assume hardly any oil pressure?).
Once started, (it took three attempts!), the "Engine electrics, Transmission electrics & Immobilizer" light stayed on, (but not flashing). This is the symbal that is a picture of a car with a spanner through it.
A few things of note. when changing the oil and filter, I was very carefull not to spill any oil on the crank sensor. I also filled up the canister oil filter with fresh oil prior to putting it on.
The transmission has yet to be touched. All wires, connectors etc are in the correct place and not lose.
The handbrake cable(s) is still dissconnected and the battery is flat in the key.
I left it running for about five minutes whilst I moved a few other vehicles out of the way, (in order to turn the Omega around so I could reverse it into the garage to sort the handbrake cable out).
Once it had started it sounded fine, if a little 'tappity' for the first minute or so. It did stall when I was turning the car around on the road, but at that time it wasn't on full lock and I was moving slowly in reverse. Obviously it needed re-starting with the aid of the battery booster.
The only other thing of note is that the brakes felt just a little spongy, (but not that bad), suggesting that there may still be a little air trapped in the ABS module???
So, what do you guys think? I've really bought a lemon haven't I?
