Omega General Help / Re: Heated Windscreen and exterior mirrors

« on: 06 February 2012, 19:28:55 »

Hi,

Uroglas in the UK make heated windscreens to order and will produce if a number of members get together to share the costs. The URl is http://www.uroglas.com/ They can be contacted at

Uroglas

It is entirely possible someone has already ordered a screen for the Omega, they were used in all sorts of climates and by bodies like the Police, Executive car hire, as Hearses and all sorts of roles where somebody might have wanted the car available at short notice and had one fitted.

Omega Electrical and Audio Help / Re: Alarm on cold days + hot sunshine

The rubber washer trick didn't solve the problem with my Omega, in the end it was a dead battery on the battery backed siren so this is replaced using Autovaux to supply the bit and a tip i picked up to modify the bottom of a 2 litre soft drink plastic bottle to make a water shield for it.

I had this same problem today in spring sunshine, right after an interview in the company car park!

Took your advice about the bonnet switch. On my '02 registered omega I found that the bonnet insulation had a nice dimple right where the switch connects, so it seems as Vauxhall had relied on the thickness of the bonnet insulation to finish operating the switch. After thinking of some imaginative names for the designer I go a rubber tap washer and stuck it to the bonnet behind the insulation using double sided tape. The insulation will protect the washer a bit and the extra thickness should ensure the switch operates OK when the bonnet is shut & still does its alarm job if some miscreant forces the bonnet.

Will let you know how it turns out.
