Title: Hello everyone newbie has a problem
Post by: thesword22 on 14 March 2009, 23:47:06

first of all hello guys and gals

i hve just purchased a 2000 plate omega 2litre auto. the remote locking did not operate so i assumed it was the battery. i took the two keys into vauxhall to find out if they could do the battery cos i know some of the keys are coded so i thought better safe than sorry

the bloke i spoke to said that any one can change the battery so off i went
i only got one of the key fobs battery chnged just in case.

well now the car runs but the engine management ligt is on i believe it is running in limp mode.

has any one got any suggestions as to wat is going on please.

any help is appreciated
cheers
 :)
