Omega General Help / Re: Timing tensioner query??

« on: 30 January 2011, 21:48:44 »

Thanks for that, I have already ordered the DVD earlier yesterday, so should get it Wednesday or Thursday, the tool kit, is it a main dealer supply only :question does anyone know of any mobile mechanics that would do the timing for us :question and does anyone know roughly how much it would cost :question

I only ask as i have recently found out I have all the systoms of brain tumour & have had urgent appointments to go to at the hospital and still have to go to, and with the car being off the road I am struggling to say the least, and I need to get it done asap .

Omega General Help / Timing tensioner query??

« on: 30 January 2011, 06:28:51 »

Hi everyone, were in the middle of changing the timing belt, now in the haynes manual it states to look for the letter "D" on an original tensioner or "E" if it's a modified tensioner, now my question to everyone is what would happen and which direction would the belt go if it states "01" :question :question  [smiley=undecided.gif] [smiley=rolleyes.gif]there is no letter at all, it just states "01" where the letter should be, it was on the vehicle when we bought it, any thoughts or help would be most welcome, Thank you very much in advance

I'm going away to Bulgaria until next weekend but if you still need help by the time I get back give me a shout and i'll come and have a look, i'm only down the road

Thank you, I will keep that in mind, I am disabled and it's my only vehicle to get around in so I need to try & get it done ASAP and I need to get it done for next week coz my kids go back to school , but if i still haven't managed to sort it out, I will give you a shout. Thank you [smiley=2vrolijk_08.gif] [smiley=2vrolijk_08.gif] [smiley=2vrolijk_08.gif] [smiley=2vrolijk_08.gif]

Fault code 13 = O2 Sensor 1 Open Circiut

Hi Tk, you would be better to create your own post, things get confusing when there are multiple queries from different members in the same post. 

Thanks for letting me know

Car Parts, bits For Sale & Wanted / Re: breaking facelift elite nocturno blue

« on: 27 July 2010, 03:51:37 »

Hi, i am looking for the following:

front electric with memory seats in leather but has to have the airbags, do you have any? if so how much?

What year is it? does it have the electric sunblind built in the parcel shelf? again if so how much?

Does it have cruise control? if so how much?

I have what appears to be a mini-facelift omega MV6 3L, I have the window switches at the side of the gear lever but I have airbags in my front seats and i have the audio controls on the steering wheel, am I right this would be a mini- facelift? oh I forgot to mention it's a T reg 1999

Also can anyone tell me what switch goes on the 2nd from the left? would it be for the electric sunblind? sorry for all the questions, typical female,
