Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: Rear number plate light not working?

« on: 15 December 2009, 17:07:37 »

To be honest Ken, it might never have worked. Only noticed it the other night when i was changing the front bulbs.
I'll have a look at the light fitting like you say, and see if that cures it.

Cheers

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Rear number plate light not working?

« on: 11 December 2009, 20:12:52 »

And yep, i've tried 2 different bulbs in it, so eliminating them. Also checked the fuse, and swapped it with another and that didnt work?

Are there any problem areas when it comes to these that i need to check?

Omega General Help / Metal lever next to headlight bulb holder?

« on: 11 December 2009, 19:49:43 »

Changing all my bulbs earlier and noticed the wee lever inbetween the two bulb holders in each headlamp. Moved it up and down and it altered the beam?

Whats it for and where should the lever be? Just curious.

And while we're on headlights, my passenger side height adjustment doesnt work anymore? Plug's connected, but nothing happening. Any ideas?

Cheers, Gav

Excellent, will do Pete, cheers.

No DVD's left in the shop, so i'm just going to have to use the Haynes manual and the guides on here to do it now, but i'm looking forward to getting stuck in

Good site that, cheers 

How do i know which kit i need though as its listing 10 different kits lol. I'm guessing its to do with my engine number, so where do i look for it at?

Now that i've got rid of the Skyline i'm only just getting to know the Omega now you see

Spot on, cheers lads.

I'll have a look at the MAF plug tomorrow morning then 

Seen the kits on ebay and wasnt sure of their reputation, but i'll go and google the ones you listed now.

Where's the engine number then so i can see what kit i need?  :-?

Omega General Help / Where is best for a cambelt kit?

« on: 01 December 2009, 17:13:17 »

Now that i have a garage i'm going to do the long overdue cambelt change. Been looking at the guides and going to order the DVD to help me an all.

So where is best to get a whole kit from then? Vauxhall, or Autovaux or the like? Also need a DIS pack at the same time but unsure whether its oval or round plugs i have? Forgot to check when i did the leads and cam cover gaskets.

Chassis number is: WOLOVBM69X1111418

Also any recommendations where to get all the special tools that i'll need?

Think thats all the questions i have for now.

Thanks in advance

Omega General Help / Quick spoiler and window question?

« on: 06 November 2009, 16:40:48 »

Got hold of a bootlid with an Irmscher spoiler attached to it and cant for the life of me get it off? Whats the best way?

Also, the other day when i put my passenger side window down, part of the frame came with it! Its the bit that runs up the B-Pillar and the window wouldnt close again, so i had to pull it up. Is this a common thing, and how easy fixed is it?

Thanks, Gav

« on: 09 September 2009, 17:55:48 »

Yep, I'm certain all the leads are in the right order, but I'm gonna have a look over them tonight and make sure they all have a good solid connection. Even when idling it seems to miss every so often?
Smoke has stopped now though which is good. At least I fixed something lol

I'll check them again but I know when the covers went back on the wells were totally clean. Could I maybe not have pushed one of the leads home fully?

Cheers for the replies! I'll have a look tomorrow again. I did have everything in bits and cleaned the whole lot with carb cleaner so maybe I've forgotten to tighten something?

Omega General Help / Problems after changing cam cover gaskets?

« on: 07 September 2009, 20:48:35 »

Just got my car back on the road today. While its been off the road i've given it a full service, changed the HT leads, changed the spark plugs and done the cam cover gaskets(genuine GM ones).
It was VERY smoky for the first 3 miles. My Skyline had a full engine rebuild and didnt smoke at all? What could this have been? The carb cleaner i used to clean the breathers?
And also it seems to be stuttering now from 2-4k RPM, but seems to clear after 4. Also noticed that after 10miles of driving its still smoking from the manifolds slightly? Old stuff burning off maybe?
What's up with it now then?  :-/
