Omrga starting problems
« on: 13 May 2014, 12:27:55 »
Hi all, I have an Omega Elite estate, when I bought it it was flattening the battery, the day after getting it home battery was flat, so I jump stated it off my Carlton, it was an instant start which was satisfying, I discovered on turning it off that the computer was staying on, so decided to disconnect the battery, this is when I noticed with ignition turned off that there was quite a large flash at the battery terminal, on reconnecting the battery all appeared well with the computer turning off after the ignition was turned off,  but strangely the car will not start straight away. it appears that the glow plugs are not working, can anyone tell me which relay controls the Glow plugs as I am wondering if the relay was at fault and was causing the battery drain, any advice would be appreciated,
