Omega General Help / alarm keeps going off

« on: 29 April 2010, 17:18:13 »

We have had the battery disconnected and now after putting back on after a couple of minutes the alarm sounds for about a minute then goes off and comes back on again.  We are having to disconnect the battery to stop it.

Omega General Help / Re: rising temp to 100 when not accelerating

« on: 24 April 2010, 19:07:24 »

We have changed the thermostat and water pump and fitted a new top hose.  We flushed the radiator through while still on the car. The temp is sitting better now just below 95 but still rising at times.  Do we need to take the radiator off and soak in something or is there something else that could be wrong.

Omega General Help / rising temp to 100 when not accelerating

« on: 19 April 2010, 00:05:45 »

When out today the temperature which normally sits about 95 kept creeping up around the 100. As soon as you accelerated it went back down.  Then the top hose blew and water leaked all over.  Could this be the water pump, hbv or something else?

« on: 13 August 2009, 10:24:59 »

The car has started misfiring below 2500 revs not overheating but there is oil in expansion tank, no sludge but oil in spark plug holes again.  We have replaced the rocker cover and gaskets twice last time with genuine vauxhall parts. We are currently on holiday and need to travel 4 hours home can anyone help with what to do?
