Omega General Help / Re: Sunroof with a mind of its own

« on: 04 February 2008, 21:36:56 »

Reset has fixed opening/closing problem. Thanks for the tip. Should have Please read the manual! Luckily I have a replaceable bulb, unluckily Vauxhall dealer doesn't and his part locater can't find any either. Can't find anything listed on Maplin or RS or any other sites. It's 12v 1.4 w. Anyone know a source for these?

OK, done the reset, but now noticed the light isn't working. Any possible link to sunroof opening and closing on its own? It wasn't dark when it started happening so don't know if bulb failed at the same time. It was working yesterday. How do you get at the bulb?

Omega General Help / Sunroof with a mind of its own

My sunroof has started to open, tilt position 1, and then close all on its own! Seems to happen on bumpy roads. Switch works normally when tried and all positions select correctly. Any ideas please?

I think Astras would be quite a bit lighter than Omegas, might be worth checking the load rating on the tyes you have fitted, they should be as specified by Vauxhall. Otherwise you could invalidate your insurance, worth a quick look.

Omega General Help / Re: Wishbone Advice Please

All done now, only real hassle was getting rear nearside bolt in! Other side just vitually fell in. Had full set up done at Supertyres in Maldon Essex, they have links to TVR, Lexus and other owners clubs. Seemed to do a very comprehensive job. Cambers were  -2.10 left and -2.10 right, now set to -1.45 left and 1.35 right. Could get any less on left as it maxed out. Rear toe in, thrust angles also adjusted as well as toe in at front. Car steers a straight line hands off - when you finda a bit of flat road! Steering wheel dead centre, feel improved and tye noise noticably down. Parting comment from the man was if 'bring it back for a check if you feel anythings not right or if it settles'. £89 quid and they stayed on after their closing time to finish the job.

Thanks for the advice. I found following on the web thingy; http://www.super-tyres.co.uk/supertyres.html , they seem to have suitable kit to do a full check. Also looked at Elite, but no details on what they use. Might try the Maldon one.

Omega General Help / Wishbone Advice Please

« on: 23 August 2007, 10:07:08 »

Recently aquired car, 65k miles and MOT advisory of slight play on front wishbone bushes and inner edges of tyres, so seems a good time to replace the wisbones. Got a pair from Vauxparts, what's the expecetd life of their ones?
Also can't see a bracket for the headlamp leveling sensor, does this attach to wishbone?
Lots of talk about getting the camber correct, understand the need for this, but how do you adjust it?
Having done the deed, can anyone recommend a good wheel alignment merchant in Essex?
Any help appreciated as I haven't got a manual as yet, but the 'how to' guides are vey helpful.
