Hi guys

Have had my Omega just a week & the electronics warning light (the car with the spanner thru it) is now coming on when turning on the ignition.  It goes off when I start up and drive fine.  I have checked thru related old posts & can't find this previously reported. Do I need to get checked/diagnosed or since it goes off on starting up, is it normal?  I didn't think it was.  Also, driver seat won't adjust. Can hear the motor trying but nothing happening.  Wasnt' sure if this might be related or something totally separate?  Am not technical myself but trying & willing to learn stuff as I go along so as not to be a hopeless female.  I do my own basics myself and my local garage normally does any work but wondered if this might be something you guys could advise on before I take it anywhere & part with my cash?

Nearly all the lights should come on when ignition first turned on, then a lot go out after about 3 seconds, leaving (I think) just the alternator and oil pressure warnings until the engine is started .... I'd need to actually go and look to confirm ....

This one stays on until I start the engine. Manual says should go off after a few seconds.  It doesn't!

I don't have the specific lamp you have (mine Omega is older mini facelift) but if it goes out when the engine starts, then that's correct.

It's a separate fault.
have a look here ...... http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/index.php?topic=90530.0 assuming you mean it won't go up/down

If the seat wont go back/forward there is probably one or more £1 coins stuck in the runners.Cna be a bugger to get out,but at least your wealthier when youve finished the job.I got nearly £7 worth of coins out of the seat runners of one Omega.

So thats 7 times you've been to the shops, where you had to get your card out?

It's at full height & not adjustable.  Apparently the previous owner was quite tiny.  Thanks for the info link for this problem - I will try at the w/end.  Thanks also for the warning light reassurance.

Millie, if you pass Brackley on your travels, pop in, we can have a look at it

I should add, I have the dealer level diagnostic equipment for the engine management light.


Seat height motor, seen that be the motor before. Sadly, easiest way is to remove seat to visually inspect thoroughly.

if only your back was capable of lifting.

Yup, little chance of me lifting the seat out. I'll just do the bolts . Although non-Elite seats are a fair bit lighter.

He's that bad, I have to do his heavy lifting these days.
