Omega General Help / Re: warning lites,speedo problem on elite

« on: 13 April 2007, 19:58:20 »

Thank u "theboy" one final question........is there any connection with the ecu and the power steering
because when the lights came on today there was a definite tightning which eased off when the lights went out or is this coincidence and something else is wrong..thanks in advance for any final thoughts on the problem...rod

THANKS FOR THAT OLIVE...IVE USED THE SAME MECHANIC FOR 7 YRS AND I ASSUME HE CHANGES THE BRAKE FLUID AS NEEDED..BUT I WILL ASK HIM...MY CRUISE CONTROL WORKS FINE...
SO HOW DID YOU GET YOUR PROBLEM FIXED??DID U REPLACE THE ECU??
I NEED TO HANG ON TO THE CAR FOR ANOTHER TWO YRS IF I CAN..SO HOW LONG DID U WAIT BEFORE GETTING IT SORTED?

hi all i am new to this board,i have joined cos i have a problem my mechanic appears not to be able to solve at the moment..i have a 99 elite auto 2.5,its done 116000 m,ive had it for 7 yrs..the other day whilst i was driving two warning lites came on,traction control and the one above it the abs lite,the speedo also stopped working..i drove about 40miles and the lites went out and speedo worked again.
its been intermittent ever since..i took the car to my mechanic  who plugged in the hand held computer thing..it did not register any problems(it was working ok again at that point)he is unable to offer a solution so what do i do. iam  non technical i know nothing about cars, i keep it clean and have regular services and relie on people to put things right when needed,would appreciate any advice..thanks in advance..rod
