Omega General Help / Re: operating temp 3.0

« on: 15 February 2008, 20:18:30 »

Elite 3.0 N Reg Auto. I was towing my new Caravan on the motorway today and the temp was continually creeping up to 100. It went down if I slowed to 50, but did not really like anything above that. Do I need to install extra cooling things (as if I had a clue how!)?
TIA as always.

Omega General Help / Re: odd headlights

« on: 15 February 2008, 20:08:01 »

this ones a bit odd on my son in laws 99 3.0 elite his headlights looked dim so he got new bulbs for them only to find they are standard bulb fittings
he has self leveling ie. no ajustment inside car and headlight washers and the projector lens
so how do we go about changing them back to how they should be
cheers
paul

I am no help to you here, but the lights on my N reg Elite 3.0 Estate are............. underwhelming. Is it just new bulbs or is there something clever I am missing?
TIA as always

Garage said check tracking. Turns out it was WAY out. Had it done, we shall see. Thanks for all the responses.

Ummmm... more details!

The engine is ticking over at 2500 as it should, there is just this sensation of adrenaline pumping speed. I have never driven RWD before, but I cannot believe that it makes that much difference.

Omega General Help / My Elite is rocket powered...........

« on: 01 January 2008, 20:22:54 »

................. but not in a good way. When I'm using cruise control at 70mph in my 3.0 V6 it feels like I'm doing about 140mph. My wifes Vectra cruises at 80 like it's doing 40. Anyone have any ideas what might be wrong. My old Audi did 90 all day long and it was effortless - I was kind of  hoping for the same vibe on the Omega!

Welcome to the forum mate, never mind you can always sell the mondie after the swmbo has driven the omega, as she wont want it any more.
 

SWMBO drives a Vectra and will only drive the mondie if it is that or walking in the rain!

Newbie Welcome Area / Another new one

I am here to gather info on or buy an Omega estate. My G reg Audi 100 Avant died and I bought a Mondeo estate on the rebound (I am ashamed).
