Omega General Help / Re: door locks won't open HELP!!

« on: 03 April 2009, 14:51:24 »

going to collect the car today after having the alternator checked as my readings were inconclusive. Hope it is alright as going away in the caravan next weekend.  Havn't found the reason why the battery went flat unless I did leave a light on.  I would appreciate knowing  the secret method to open the bonnet so if it happened again I could open the bonnet and connect another battery and then the remote would work.
Please could someone email me details so I couold have a try before we set off next week. email jmackro61@msn.com  Thanks again for all the help. Cheers.

battery held a charge of 12.25v overnight so the battery seems fine. Looks as if it could be the alternator as when I installed the battery I am sure there were no lights had been left on.  I have read the info. on repairing the alternator and it seems fairly straight forward.  Is there a simple way to check if the alt. is giving low output or high output?  Any other hits and tips would be very welcome.
thanks to all for help.

thanks again for the quick response.  Have charged the battery and the battery charger is showing the battery charged. I have measured the voltage across the terminals and it shows 12.25v. Is this enough? What should the voltage be for a fully charged battery? I thought it was about 14v. Could some one confirm what it should be? Thanks again.

many thanks am now on the way. My good lady managed to open the door obviously it needed a woman's touch. Checked the battery and it is only reading 5.2v so some how it has discharged.  Can't see any obvious reason and the battery is only 3 months old.

As a long term admirer but relitively new Omega owner.  I would be interested in any information regarding the history of the 'miggy' or 'mig' nickname for the Omega.  Thanks from a Newbie.

As the mighty Omega grows old very gracefully is the Signum good enough to be the new Omega?

Anybody had experience of using exhaust powered Air Jacks?And----?.
If so are they available in the UK.? Draper did stock them but they are no longer available so I have been told by several dealers.  Apparently they are available direct from China but in minimum lots of 50.
I seem to like the word available at the moment!!
