Can't be any more than 20 miles from me, I'll pop and have a look either Monday or Tues nights I guess.

I'll take all my spare relays etc. I'll try to flash out the codes too.

MarkDTM, is the CTS on the 2.0 the same as the V6? If so, I could bring a spare..  If I can find them, I'll also take my 2.0 spare crank and cam sensors...

 :'(  for at least the time being, I've had to get another car, an escort, not a patch on the meega sadly.

the car I had been borrowing is no longer available to me, so had to get something sorted quickly!

I'm unsure at the moment as to the fate of the meega, am hoping to resurrect her soon as funds and time allow.

lastly, a big thanks to everyone for your ideas and suggestions, happy to say none involved matches and petrol, however I felt at the time!!!  ;D

 :-[  Well, it's taken some time, but it would appear that the Omega is working again?  I had to move it out of the way to get something else sorted out and had forgot to reset the windows and sunroof.   The windows were no problem, the sunroof just didn't work?  I thought I'd checked out the fuses originally but probably missed one out, which just happened to be the one that was blown!!!!  I now have a fully working dashboard and more importantly, when I turn on the ignition, the eml goes out when it finishes the check!  Oh, and now the sunroof works again  ;)

Thanks TD, I would actually like them read fullstop?? ;D  As the paperclip test doesn't appear to work on mine????
I have an elm327 based usb reader but it don't appear to recognise tech1 unfortunately, just says 'protocol not recognised', the software is scantool.

TD, pm'd my number, thanks Mark

Paperclip test should work with the engine off, ign on.

ELM/Scantool will only work on OBDII cars.

Not sure cheapo Tech2 would read an early 2.0l, seeing as a real Tech2 won't.  I real Tech1 may be needed...

Hi, Have been having problems myself with warning light. Joined this forum and have been getting lots of good advice. ( See general help- Noise on start up). I have found that with the engine running the warning light will not flash, however if you just turn on the ignition then the light does flash a code. Also it will only flash the code if the warning light is permanantly on. This is only what I have found myself following directions from paper clip test and linked pages.

Hope this is of use. I am still having problems myself and have yet to get mine sorted out.
