Sorry for yet another sad loss due to that wonderful powersounder 

[Mysteryman]

Can I pick your brains please chaps.  Do these power sounders (which I had never heard of until 45 mins ago) exist on the facelifted Omegas as well as the originals?  I only ask as I want another one, but the Mk1's seem to be thinning out.

Yes mate they do! & i'm seriously contemplating binning mine now!

Let me know how after you have sorted yours, or perhaps we could have a power sounder party..   I know mine works because it went off a couple of times when the batter was changed..

The way things seem to be going with these things Mike, I either bin it now or get ready for an impromtu barbecue  (you will defo get an invite before the flames die down, don't worry! )

Thanks Phil, given the number of cars on fire, or just saved, think this needs to go, wonder which way the insurance company would rather go.... not that i would say anything, just plead ignorance..

Hmmm.. me too I think, but would need to avoid eye contact with the insurance assessor, as i'm too bloody truthful for my own good I reckon!

Why would you ever need to talk to an insurance assessor? You don't think anyone is going to steal an omega.

I think Vauxhall should take the blame.

Cars are on fire, due to their design.

I think a court case is worth while here.

agreed.. definitely..

why should they?.the newest omega is over 6 years old now.its not just vauxhall that have this prob,any alarm thats got a back up siren with built in bats will do the same.i had a calibra go up where the bat for the tracker leaked and shorted out

its a production fault  , did they write a warning about that in the handbok ?

[sierrapaul]

bmw used to use rechargeable bats on the back of the speedo for the service ind lights.they used to leak and short out the clocks and have heard of a few going up in flames.if you use those sort of bats on any car they will keak in the end.so in my eyes you cant blame vauxhall for it

I really feel for you, and it is yet another sad example of what happens if you keep an old *@$"*+£%!! powersounder in too long; disaster ensues!!

My power sounder has been chirping for a few weeks now. It was a job I was "going to get round too". After reading the recent posts, B0llocks to that, just been out to the car and whipped it out

Typical, I was half expecting a comment like that when I saw you were online Steve.

EDIT - At the above comments not the car in flames thing

[ballcock50]

I've disconnected most of mine I'll have to check the latest aquisition.

[Debs.]

.......and whipped it out.....

"Blazing Saddles!"


Bart, on grandstand to the townspeople:

"Excuse me while I jus`whip this out"

Reaches into waistline; as crowd gasps, screams and ladies, faint; Bart pulls out paper, they sigh with relief.

Not good .. but please see post #72 in

http://www.omegaowners.com/forum/YaBB.pl?num=1295287318/60#60

Lets do some OOF research .. 

[I_want_an_Omega]

Just to clarify, is it sufficient to disconnect and leave in-situ, or should it actually be removed?
