Omega General Help / Re: 2000 B2 seats in 1998 B1?

« on: 12 February 2026, 22:29:19 »

Folding front seat in place. I still have to adapt the wiring for the height adjustment.
Airbag wiring not connected, since my Omega does not have it.

I have been patient and never bought those B2 seats...local scrapyard obtained a B1 mfl with exactly the same trim as mine!
Now I have a matching folding front seat and I have also bought the rear bench cushion, modified by slicing about 2" for a flat cargo area when folding the rear ones.

Omega General Help / Re: UK police spec gear lever.

« on: 14 April 2025, 20:30:05 »

Now I found much pleasant driving without trigger/pull-up lever.
When driving in 5th I must now remember that "R" stands for "reverse" and not for "racing top gear"

Unfortunately I cannot check the diff since it  is not in my city. It will be purchased from a reputable breaker with warranty.

I don't have an ex police car. Was just curious about what had different the police stick.
I'm currently building my own box/armrest and a longer lever for the gearbox will be perfect. I may try to take the whole stick out and replace it with a simple stick with no reverse trigger.

My reverse trigger works ok, but is slightly painful since the plastic is broken and I have to pull directly over the aluminium.
I have discovered that 1996 MY on the gear lever was made 1" shorter for better access to the radio. Maybe police spec maintained the longer one?

Hi folks,
My gear lever (1998 MFL) has a broken reverse trigger.
According to the Opel parts catalogue all gear levers are the same ...except for UK police spec ones.
What's the difference over the standard item?

Omega General Help / Diff ratio. How to identify.

« on: 16 March 2025, 05:16:24 »

Hi folks,
I will fit some oversized van tyres to my 2.5TD. As far as I know mine has a 3.45 diff ratio. 4.22 will suit perfectly my new tyre diameter...any clue on how to tell what ratio has a secondhand diff by its external look? Do they have some ID plate/tag or something?
TIA

Omega General Help / Plasma cutter

« on: 12 March 2025, 18:36:21 »

I have been gifted a small Parkside plasma cutter from Lidl.
I intend to use it on the Omega for some body repairs...any cautions other than disconnecting the battery an beeing aware of flamable parts?
TIA
