Can I have some advice please ?

This is on an Omega 2.2 GLS on a '52 plate.

1. The air con system on my Omega does not get cold . . bit of a pain in the recent hot weather.
Is there any quick and easy way of telling whether the compressor is knackered or if the system just needs re-gassing ? 

2. I've gone mad  and bought a pair of second hand fog lights, along with a replacement light switch with the additional button. I've checked the existing wiring and the loom appears to be in place for the feed to the lamps. I've ordered the mounting clips for the lights from my local Vauxhall dealer. Is there anything else I will need . . relay etc. ?

Thanks in anticipation,

Nick

Best to go to an aircon regas specialist, as they test the system for leaks etc. before regassing it. If its leaking the dye they use will show where its leaking from. If it isnt leaking - gas in, job done.
Foglights - not sure if they are simple plug and play or not. :-/

I think you're going to need a relay in the fuse/relay ...  :-/

There is a few higher spec miggys being striped on here at the moment why not get all you need from them and not pay full price from dealers for your parts. Job done

No relay needed. Fuse #16 powers the fogs

Good idea Joff. My foglights have been sold,  but that RobG character might have a pair.

Not done this job myself but are they plug and play Rob if you have the loom in place and the switch. It's to late at night and my glass is going down! all miggy's come with fog lights yes? :-/

[joff]

that's fog lights on the rear as stanard :-/

[RobG]

Foglights are plug & play as long as the loom is there.....and yes, rear fogs are standard
