Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: Memory function seats

« on: 24 April 2008, 19:57:07 »

there are indeed just 3 extra wires needed. My Elite seats work fine in the MV6 Polac.

In an extra smaller loom plug, ground and permenant live can be taken from the exisiting wiring, just a switched live is needed as an extra, which could easily come from the rear lighter socket.

i decided to replace mine with a resistor and diode (or just use a 12v diode) so that i wouldnt ever have to do it again.

Try removing the wires in pos 1 and 2 on the stereo side of the loom, from the power block. You could well be shorting out the speed pulse signal as TB suggest above.

Cruise on the 2.2 isnt a seperate system, there is no motor or controller to operate, it is a feature of the ECU.  So there isnt a specific fuse for Cruise.

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: Heated seats not working?

« on: 23 February 2008, 09:22:28 »

The back lights are powered from a general dash lighting supply, not related to the heated seat circuit. Do the little amber indicators light when you depress the switch?

I suggest checking your fuses first for a broken or loose fuse wire, or corroded contacts.

Has the interior been removed at any time? may be a good idea to check there are no loose connectors under the seats and any there are fully home.

might be worth gettin a tooth brush and some WD40 on the old half of the wiring, give it a good clean.

Omega General Help / Re: Wipers return to wrong position, halfway across..

« on: 06 October 2008, 23:31:45 »

With thanks, all is sorted.

to clarify, upon removing all 4 mounting screws and withdrawing the motor assembly sideways towards the drivers side wing, a 2" long link arm attaches to the motor gear drive, the 13mm nut had worked a little loose and under strain occasionally the little link arm slipped position. Where the link arm passes the rest of the bracket there are two V shapes, the arm should be loosened, and repositioned between those two marks. Tighten and refit, all perfect.

Omega General Help / Wipers return to wrong position, halfway across..

« on: 01 October 2008, 22:00:58 »

Happened recently after using wipers on full speed during some very heavy rain. Got home and turned the ignition off and the wipers were half way accross the window. Their limits are correct, ie the full motion sweep is still perfect, but they always return the the incorrect position.

I've had to raise the seat to see safely past them.

Anyone know of a limit microswitch that can be adjusted, or a reset procedure for them?

anything wrong with changing just the friction plate? seem to remember its loads cheaper than an entire clutch pack, and that you can reasonably get two friction disks out of 1 pressure plate.

Omega General Help / Hydraulic clutch adjustment

« on: 24 April 2008, 20:03:11 »

Firstly is it possible? Secondly, will it likely help me. The clutch will slip if i press the pedel at all, even the first soft 10mm or so. Very high biting point, and i'm suspecting a little clutch slip at WOT even with the pedel left well alone.

Omega General Help / Re: Why is there no cup holder

« on: 07 April 2008, 19:40:05 »

The way i'm going with mine is to replace the factory stereo, i want DAB anyway, and use the autoleads double din conversion facia. I will put the stereo in the top section and put a 2 cup holder / tray unit in the bottom... REAL cup holders

opposite way round. The v6 cable is short, the 16v is longer, the actuator cable btw, not the electrical cable.
