« on: 27 February 2009, 19:57:07 »
hi all

im new to the site, but i have a prob with my omega.  its an 03 2.2 i have had it 2 months and it has started juddering and chugging when i start it.  it shakes the whole car. :(

I have had the air intakes cleaned and checked the filter it still plays up.  it has no power at all.

Please help with any suggestions.

not a single light comes on at all. it has no power to even move when it does it.  You have to rev it up hard to clear it out.

Does the engine light or the one with the spanner come on when the ignition is turned on or have the bulbs been removed to hide something .
