Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Electrical problems

« on: 15 October 2008, 16:05:16 »

When i bought my car, the dashboard lights didn`t work , the seat adjustments and the alarm for the lights being left on never worked. About a year ago, the dashboard lights came on permanently, only turning off when i took the keys out of the ignition. Then about a month later they went out again never to work since. The same happened about 9 months ago with the headlights left on alarm . That worked for a few weeks, the went off again. I`m not too worried about the seat adjustment. Would they all be electrically linked together? Has anyone got any idea for the reason? I am thinking maybe the earth is loose. I have no experience of car electrical systems, so if any can start me off where to look, i would appreciate it
Thanks
Gavin

Omega General Help / Re: Rad flush

Thanks for all the answers. I will try Jizer this weekend. The other suggestions may work, but i feel i will be doing it properly using something with a strange name

. If that doesn`t work , then i will try the other suggestions.

Omega General Help / Rad flush

« on: 15 October 2008, 15:55:52 »

I had my oil cooler changed recently, but am having trouble getting rid of the caramel looking sludge . I have flushed it with running water, followed by a rad flush. It is so sticky it is still in the system. I will change the coolant reservoir as i cant get the outer chambers clean. Is there a certain rad flush that anyone recommend that will get the stuff dislodged? Also i am not getting much heat out of the car heater, so assume it is all clogged with the stuff.
