Rob...I'm going to re-check fuse no 19 as suggested, and if no joy then I'm going to ring around some local garages and see how much they would charge to re-set the ECU with TechII.
If they quote me some resonable prices....how much are you after for the unit?

Kevin....I checked the fuses next to the battery (purple coloured one's if I remember correctly)...and it did'nt look like any of them had blown.
Also checked the ones under the steering wheel and only fuse no 15 had blown(red 10 amp) which I replaced.
Rob...I am in Sutton in Surrey.....it's about a 15 min drive from Croydon

Thankyou for the advice and replys lads.
Before I posted on the forum I was edging towards getting my one repaired by a company like Bigtow suggested, and Medway is only an hours drive from me which is helpfull.
However RobG has got me curious with his offer so a few questions Rob if you don't mind mate.
I appreciate you highlighting the fact that it's from a manual car, but how much will it cost me to get it reprogrammed roughly?
I have to ask because if it is going to be over the £120 mark then I might as well get mine repaired if that's what a repair roughly costs.
I assume that untill it's been reset that the light will still be on the dash and the speedo will still not be working etc, but will it interfere with anything else?
And once it's done is it done for good?
Have you heard any storys from other oofers about the things buggering up somewhere down the line due to the reprogramming?
Thankyou for your time lads...all of you

Hello everybody.
Been browsing the forum for months and getting so much info and help from all of your guides and old posts, It really has been brilliant.
However I have a self inflicted problem and I really need some good advice on the best course of action.
My battery went flat due to me starting the car up over and over again over the course of a week or so without driving anywhere (did'nt think that could drain the battery but I've now learnt the hard way)
As a result of which I had to get my neighbour to give me a jump start which he did.
Unfortunatly, he put the leads on his battery the wrong way around (black on pos/red on neg) and when I attached the leads to my battery sparks started flying everywhere which is when I realised what he had done.
I swear on my children's lives that it was him who got it the wrong way around and not me.(I'm not a genius but I'm not bloody stupid)
After we put them the right way round, the car started up fine however the ABS light had come on the dashboard, the speedo had stopped working, and the steering felt heavier than normal and the stereo also would'nt come on.
It's obvious from reading some old post's on the forum that I've blown the ABS ECU, but the advice that I need is what course of action to take?
Do I get a brand new one from Vauxhall, do I get a second hand one, or should I send my damaged one off to be repaired by a company that I've found on the net who specialise in repairing damaged ECU'S.
Really need some input please on whats the best thing to do.
My car is a Y reg 2.2 CD automatic facelift.
Also whereabouts is the bloody thing on my car, is it easy to get to or am I going to need a mechanic?
As for the stereo, thanks once again to the old posts on this forum I know that there is a 10 amp fuse behind the stereo which has probably blown, so I'll sort that out once I get the ECU sorted.
Sorry for going on a bit, just wanted to give as much info as possible.
Thanks in advance for any replie's.
Off to work now so I won't be able to reply to any questions untill tommorrow morning.
Fingers crossed there will be some helpfull info waiting for me when I log back on

Thanks Abiton.
I wanted to make sure as they just look a bit strange...I'm curious now as to what their for exactly...there must be a reason why they are there :-?
Just need some advice now on removing the plug.
Like I said I just want to make sure I don't damage it.

I can do it myself, I just want to know if those two holes are supposed to have bolts in and how to release the plug.
I've been searching through the forum and can't fing any pics of them on another car

Omega General Help / CAM COVER
« on: 20 March 2011, 13:42:58 »
Hi guys.
Got a couple of questions for you which I would be very grateful if you could help me with.
I need to replace the cam cover gasket on my 2.2 CD Facelift.....and thanks to the excellent guide on this forum, i know how to do it..
However just as I was about to start the job I noticed something that is concerning me.
On the right hand side of the cam cover about 1 inch down on the block, there are two empty thredded holes.
One is on the top right hand corner directly underneath the large breather tube, and the other one is halfway down the block.
Are these meant to have bolts in them, they look like they do because they are thredded on the inside.
I have'nt had my car long and it's the first Omega that I've ever had so I apologise if it's a stupid question
Second qestion....you know the dispack plug at the back of the black ecotech strip....well how do you remove it?
I've read on a guide in the maitenance section that says to " lift the arrowed release catch ".
However on my plug there is no arrow......the very centre of the plug there is a small rectangular section with a small circular pattern on it that I assume is the release catch in question.
Do you put your thumb on this and push backwards towards the back of the engine, or do you lift it upwards.
I just want do make sure that I don't snap the bloody thing thats all.
Many thanks for your time...I'm grateful for any help
