Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: Major Alarm Problem, not the power sounder!!!

« on: 20 March 2010, 21:22:43 »

Hi again!

Right i've got the key back from having the mr imber treatment and still I can not get the alarm to unset. I've tried to put the key to position 2 and the lock unlock lock thing and still nothing! 

Any other ideas before I set fire to it?

Thanks for your help!

No the buttons do not try to re-lock as you suggested.

And yes as you said I could disconnect the alarm horn, but the hazards would be going!

I'm thinking that would be an interesting drive home!

I think it maybe my only option though as the car is on a quiet side road 45 miles away!!!

Thanks for that but the biggest problem is that the alarm is set at the moment and even if i unlock the doors with the key it won't stop screeming even AFTER the car has been started!

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Major Alarm Problem, not the power sounder!!!

« on: 10 March 2010, 09:09:48 »

Hi Guys!

My power sounder went up the wall way before Christmas, so I removed it to replace the batteries and that is still sitting on the side waiting for me to get to it! 

Now the remote won’t unset the alarm and if I use the key in the door the alarm keeps beeping and flashing the hazards even AFTER I have put the key in and started the car!!!

The LED on the remote still lights up but interestingly it only flashes once if the unlock is pressed, but repeatedly if the lock is pressed.

I think the remote may need a refurb but I only have one key and the car is stuck 45 miles away!!! 

Any help / ideas etc?

TIA

Ok, I tried the bonnet pin and thats all fine, so I whiped out the sounder.

I would like to replace / repair it, what is it that goes wrong with them, is it just the internal batts? if so I'll solder in some new ones.

TIA

Thanks for that. I've already tried the interior sensors and they don't make a diffrence. I'll have a look at the bonnet switch in the morning. For now im just locking with the door button.

Hi Guys!

The alarm on my 2001 mig just keeps going off randomly! I'm guessing it may be the powersounder is that right?

How do you load the car? is it heavy loaded in the rear?
if your springcoils are broken, you will see it. just follow the coils fro bottom to top and see if they are ok.

Admitedly the car is the storage place for a lot of gear but I wouldn't expect it to scrape the mudflaps every time I go round a roundabout!

I'll have to get under there and see what'd going on.

Omega General Help / Sagging back end

« on: 29 October 2009, 23:50:47 »

Since I got my miggy back in February it’s been doing a very good impression of a dog with an itchy bottom! Scraping the back end at every opportunity! After a few months on here I gather the rear springs are prone to snapping, so I have two questions.
First how do I tell if they are or is it fairly obvious once I get under there? :-?

Also I have seen that a lot of people recommend KYB springs, where is the best place to get them?

Omega General Help / Re: Auto Box switching sports mode on and off

Mine did this a couple of times a few months back, I changed the auto box oil (it needed doing any way) and not had a problem since.

« on: 11 October 2009, 21:23:22 »

Thanks Mate, I'll check it out. 

I would have thought it was on one plug though so if the plug was out I'd have lost all the clocks, but the fuel revs and temp is fine!

Odd, very odd!

Hi guys!

I had the stereo, climate controls etc out today to fit a parrot hands free kit and also had the battery disconnected, it all works great but now the speedo doesnt work!  >:(b I didn't take the clocks out so i'm puzzled, any ideas?  :-/

Omega General Help / Re: Climate controls confusion

« on: 21 March 2009, 21:14:29 »

Selecting any manual setting disables auto.

As already said, auto not only controls the temp (whch happens in all modes other than Hi and Lo), it also adjusts the direction of the air flow, fan speed etc based on various other inouts such as temp and sun position (hence the small dome like sensor on the top of the dash)

I've been wondering what that was!!

Omega General Help / Re: auto box oil change AGAIN!

« on: 14 March 2009, 20:48:48 »

I got 2 cans of Fuchs TITAN ATF 4000 for £20.17+vat for 5Lts. Which I thought wasn't too bad.  8-)

« on: 14 March 2009, 18:56:23 »

Surely if I take the sumps off and empty the box then start to fill, start the car, continue to fill, short run, top up then that would change all the oil?

Won't it?!?! :-/

You won't get all of the old oil out, but you will refresh it.

Hmmm! Oh well it should still do the box better than the 90,000 mile oil thats in it now!

Thanks for all your help guys!
