Omega General Help / Re: HOW TO TOW

« on: 03 April 2009, 17:24:40 »

As a 'safety margin' for towing an Auto:   I always used to say. No more than 30 miles distance at No more than 30 miles per hour. to aleviate any futher possible damage. Possibly  later cars will accept more ??

Hi VX1, Thanks for that info: My keys are Two Button, which is not correct as I have to press the button on my dash, to open the Boot.
The three button keys seem to be quite expensive and a little beyound my pocket.

Hi Nic, Have you tried another battery. Looks like the key is making contact, all the time to drain The battery?? As you don't have another Key, suggest you buy more 'Spare batteries' untill you are able to buy another key. These keys are quite troublesome, had problems with mine, like other forum members. Good Luck, in whatever you do.

Omega General Help / Re: Age or Mileage

« on: 03 April 2009, 17:11:46 »

My V reg. cdx Auto 2.2 has now done just over 142,000 and has full service history. My personal preferance is for higher mileage cars, with History of good service, better than low miles as a shopping car that has not reached 'working temp: Bodywork is very good and mechanically, I have no problems that bother me. Guess with cars of today, it's either mechanical or bodywork, whichever is your preferance to accept.

Would suggest giving your car a Long Run, now and then, to enable ALL, to reach working temperature. (prevention better than cure).
This is what I have to do as we only travel short distances now. Due to our age, not the car.

Omega General Help / Re: Spare Keys

Hello The Boy, Sorry I did not state my omega is a saloon car. I was given two, two button keys, when I bought the car, not knowing it needed three buttons for Boot opening. Can anyone supply, a new complete key, fully programmed and working as it should and what would be the total cost.  Can you also tell me, what is a car pass and what is it used for ??  Thank you.

Hi! Seems there are lots of problems with Omega keys. Mine is two button, which we find a 'nuisance' when coming back from shopping, having to undo the car and pressing the dash one. This is worse because I use a 3 wheeled walker. Does it really cost approx: £50 plus to get a new 3 button key and programmed, complete?? Am wondering whether to do that, to save us the inconvieniance ?? Was even thinking of changing this car and had a 'look' at a smaller 5 door today -- Untilwe was told the part exchange allowed was £250 ? Who was kidding who, made us wonder ?? Yes!!  We walked away! So can you tell me just how much each new complete 3 button key, would cost, allin and programmed. Thank you .

Hi All, The key is working ok now. The end fault was, I had to pack the battery out to make Contact and now the light comes on.
Such a simple fault, but easily remeided. Hurray!  This may well help othere's.  When fitting another Battery, make sure the light works before closing the key, by holding the battery in.

Thank you Tim, An easy thing to do. I am sure it is right, but I have to check it out. A simple job that can go wrong ??  Yes, it is the light on the key that shows it is working. I know the Battery is correct and thought it would be a simple swap. Will let you know the result.

Help. Got a battery from Boots this morning. Just fitted it after struggling to open the key body. No Joy No light??
The Key is a two Button type, is there something else I need to do ??
I thought it would be a simple swap job.

Thank you friends. Have received a phone call to tell me the key number is    CR 20 32. Does anybody know if it's a vauxhall replacement only, or can it be obtained from anywhere ??
I am hoping it is just a simple change over. Guess electronics is funny stuff ??

One key has stopped working (no light)  can I just buy a new battery and fit, or does something else  want doing ?? -- second key works fine.  Sorry about this, as I am sure I have seen a post about it but cannot find it. The car is an Omega 2.2 auto V reg. Thank you for your answer as I suppose this has been asked  and solved many times.

Omega General Help / Re: Dashboard light showing.

« on: 08 January 2009, 16:40:49 »

Hello All, Thank you so much for your speedy replies and advice.
There was I looking in the phone books last night, making a list and this morning, after having an ecg, I started phoning and got a p.m. at 'nationwide' -- the mind was going beserk, so decided to get some petrol etc:  travelling down the road, watching the dash -----
 Suddenly, I realised No Light Showing. When I got back home, I switched the engine on/off quite a few times = No Light!!
Was my eye's disieving me or was it Gremlins ?? just can't believe it is now ok!! have to go out tomorrow,Wish me luck and Thanks again for your support.
