Forums

I have a 52 plate Omega Elite with every extra Vauxhall had including a Bose sound system, 5 alloy wheels and a sunroof. It's a runner and has an MoT until December but I'm looking to sell/break it. I have no idea how these forums work and I'm not really interested in engaging in it, I just thought someone might need some spares. It's off to be crushed if no-one's interested.

Hi All,           Has anyone had trouble with there central locking button on the drivers door. Mines has stopped working and the drivers door doesn't always lock. All other doors lock as they should and passenger internal button works fine. Thanks Allan

You may have found the cause by now, but if you have the Air-Con switched on, I'm fairly sure the Fan will run continuously.

Car is still Fault-Light-free, thankfully. Was half-expecting the Stabilitrak one to re-appear, but so far so good. Next short chapter. Car has been making Wheel Bearing noises for a few weeks. Didn't seem too bad, so I told my Daughter to just keep an Eye (Ear) on it and let me know if it got any worse. I'd only ever driven it round the Block since it started doing it, never going above 35-40-ish, but after doing the MOT the other day I drove it back to Her house. On the Motorway it was really loud, but I couldn't pinpoint it. Definitely from the front, but sounded central to me. Doesn't get worse when cornering hard, definitely speed-related in severity. Just about noticeable from 35mph or so, steadily increasing in volume as speed rises. It's worst at around 50mph. There is a distinct 'pulsing' to the sound, like a "VUR-VUR-VUR-VUR", along with a constant background 'Howl'. At 40-45mph, the pulses come at approx 5-6 per-second. By the time you hit 55-60, the pulsing blends in with the background howl, quite noisy. Had the Wheels off a couple of days ago, Hubs feel fine when spun by hand, zero play in either. When I was on the left side, I noticed the area around the Gearbox Oil Level Plug was wet with Oil. I think it's probably been leaking for a while. Removed the Plug, quite a bit of Debris on the Magnet. Was all 'Fines', about the size of a large Pea. Dropped the Gearbox Sump Plate, got approx 900ml out, so fairly low (1.6ltr normal capacity?). Cleaned the Plate, refitted, filled with 1.6Litres of 75W90 Fully Synth. It's definitely running a bit quieter now, only took it round the block, 45-50 tops. Asked my Daughter to see what it's like at 60+ on her way home.
