Hi Fred
just looking over the post and yours came up, I am afraid that Omega's eat front tyres, over the years I have spent a fortune on new ball joints and tracking. I have now come to the conclusion that it is a design fault we are going to have to live with. The most economical way to deal with this is fit budget tyres and change them round frequently, sorry if it seems a negative attitude but it is the only way.
Regards
Les
P.s. Just binned a pair yesterday off my 2.5 TD CDX Auto Estate, must have at least 5mm left but scubbed off on inside edge.

Having read your rather familiar email I think the verdict is to have your tracking done regularly every six months or sooner, as speed bumps can knock it out.

Yours RichC

Has anyone out there had problems with CD 1999 T reg leaking rain water onto front passengers feet!It seems to be coming from a flap which emits heat when the blower is on.

check the compartment where the pollen filter is located, the drain at the bottom some times blocks with leaves, it then fills with rain water and over flows through the vent in to the pasinger foot well.

I had exactly the same problem with my 2001 Omega Estate - extreme wear on inside edge of front tyres. Had tracking done several times. The problem turned out to be the camber was out - a common problem with Omegas apparently. Now sorted out (for about £100).

Hi Kevin

I would change both rear brake light bulbs, if one has blown and is shorting it will blow a fuse, this is the cheapest option and you will probably find it solves your problem

Hi Bren
take your log book to your local vauxall dealer (for ID), tell them you want the radio code. it will cost £21 and they will ring you later same day with the code, then through the post you will get a security card for your vehicle, it will have RADIO CODE , CD CODE, IMOBILISER CODE, KEY CODE, AND ANOTHER but can remember which, it is a like a little credit card (you should have one in car or from prevous owner)

Hello Les!

thanks for getting back to me so quickly!

i've been realy worried about taking the car to a vauxhall dealership as i've heard some bad things with huge charges but £21 is excellent!!! finally get rid of it saying CDC SAFE!

i'll let you know how i get on.

have you or anyone else got any idea how to sort my other problem with the outside temperature sensor? it just reads F-C when i click through to it using the MFA.

please help!!!!
