Omega General Help / Re: Gearbox Selector switch

« on: 29 January 2010, 15:56:35 »

Hi again i have just been reading through this forum and someone had the same problem as me with the car going into limp mode.

It was suggested that it the selector switch but also it might  be the throttle sensor .Does that sound likely?

Thankyou

Before i take off the selector switch which is what ive been told is the problem i thought i might check that it is the problem.

1, when driving along sometimes it comes out of gear and i have to use the gearbox manually .I then park up turn off the ignition and start it up again and i can use the automatic box as normal

2,same problem as above but i can press the sports mode button on the gearstick and carry on in automatic


Any ideas thanks Tony

Thanks
The water that is leaking out of the gromit is linked to a plastic holding tank fitted in a box section which you can just see from underneath the car.

About 3 inches from the gromit there is a rectangular spout about 2 inches long and this leaks from time to time.

Hi

On removing my passenger side wheel to inspect the brake pads i noticed a black gromit about the size of a two pence coin  on the right hand side on the wheel arch ,this was leaking water? So i removed the plastic gromit and got soaked  on closer inspection i have found a plastic tank which i assume is holding the water
can anyone tell me what this is thanks Tony
