Anyone read the whole Omega Owners Manual?
« on: 14 March 2017, 22:03:04 »

Some interesting stuff in it like to reduce handbrake snatch you are advised to drive the car back and forward while gently applying handbrake to clean the shoes as they do not get used in normal service braking, which I have done anyway. Also noticed they advise to connect and disconnect Earth lead on a battery first or connect up to that first with leads. WTF? Earth first I would have thought - no?

Oh and one other piece of advice: be courteous when closing doors at night as slamming doors is noisy (good for that neighbour you hate then!)

I'll also need to read the part about operating the facelift heater about another 20 times to try and work it out!

I'll bet it's riveting. Are you married or do you live alone, in a hut, far from civilisation?  ;D

Lord Opti can recite the Omega manual, word for word, off by heart, along with most laptop repair manuals. 8) 8) 8)

He also knows all the important Omega part numbers along with the part number for any laptop screen that you care to mention. ::) :-X ;D

I thought is was associated with 'distructions', where it tells you what you should have done afterwards! :-X

Here do ;D

Leave in Auto with all the vents open. Adjust temperature to suit. If you need to clear the screen, close the dash vents and press the front screen button.
Never press the ECO button.
