I have a 93 Scorpio estate 3 litre auto 25mpg 27 on run. They are tough, My second one, though its only done 83000 with FSH. I have found problems with the 4 gear on auto's. If you find one that wont go into four. They have a cable drive to the gauge and electronic sensor on the box for the electronics, These do not seem to last long, They are on the rh side of box easy to get at one bolt. Symptons no fourth gear no cruise control and no reading from fuel computer.
I'm new to this forum and have just bought a 97 2.5 v6 auto saloon. Are CD changers standard on this model and if so where are they located? Also I have located a couple of leads loose in the boot. One is a coaxial with a right angle conector the other looks as if its model manufactrer specific. Any ideas. Thanks
mark <--- saved alot of money and alot of time !!!
I was just offering some advice that it had cost me some money to-get. Sorry it was lost on you though!
I have a 95 2.5 CD. A few years back the rectifier went on the alternator, since it was replaced it has been impossible to cancel anything on the computer i.e. you can't reset the trip mpg or stopwatch or anything, any ideas?
Discovered it has a built-in phone, great, but no Sim Card. How do i get one? or, anybody got one they do'n't want? Also, one day later, desolate, the Coil failed leaving it dead on my drive. Dealer's mechanic arrived within 45 mins and advised me of this and accepts full cover applies. Is this a common fault?

If anyone has had or knows of this problem then Please drop me a line, or if anyone wants to buy/swop Id take £550 for the car. M reg 2.5 petrol gls in dark green or swap for a similar aged 1.7TD astra estate, which i had before this. Id love to keep it as its really my first 'luxury' car as to speak but love the Astra's so im open to either. Thank You for reading and Thank You in advance for any advice. Cheers Dave.
Previous postings:- 1) You do need the credit card sized sim card (holding the mini insert). I got round it by buying a spare sim card, but this means a second mobile number. Some providers offer two cards on one number. 2) Reference Sim card, this is only hearsay, but I have been told that one or more contract providers allow two sim cards on one number, (not pay as you go). Hope this is true, but I have no problem having the two numbers on pay as you go. I don't know if you can swap the radios over, Vauxhall should know. 3) i have a 1998 S reg Vauxhall Omega 2.5V6 CDX Estate, sorry to appear thick, but how do i put my simcard in the stereo? so that i can use the inbuilt phone system in the car, its the same model of stereo u have, i can seel a little slit at the bottom in the middle of the stereo, but i dont want to push the sim cad right in incase i`m doing it wrong.. gotta phone O2 aswell today, to see if they will let me have 2 simcards on same number 4) Ok, on the CCRT700, the small block with the two arrows at each end is removed by pressing the small button next to the word 'code' in red. With the block removed, the credit card sized sim adapter slides in at the bottom. I think the unit only works with BT or Vodaphone, (O2 I think is BT). Good luck with that. 5) sorry, I'm not an expert on sim cards or phones. check your local town high street, and look for an independent operator selling second hand phones etc. We have one who is brilliant, and is v. helpful, next time I'm in town I'll ask about your problem. 6) CJ is quite right about how to locate card insertion area. I am positive that this model only supports 1800Mhz phones (Vodaphone etc. - definately NOT Orange). Question for CJ - I got your reply but it was not clear to me what you meant. I am on a 'pay as you go' and apparently my provider does not sell a SIM card with the same no. If one is on any form of contract - you can pay an additional fee monthly for an extra SIM. THis is silly in my case as I only ever want to use EITHER one card or the other. I guess at the risk of appearing a 'scammy git' - my question would be 'can SIM's be cloned' - as I guess this is what I want. I definatelt DO NOT want an additional 'pay as you go' SIM, as this would be a different no., and I wouldn't want the hassle of putting my usual phone on divert every time I drive the bloody car!!. 7) My MV6 estate has this unit. When I purchased the car it had a special credit card sized receiver for the sim card which I guess you can buy as an accessory from any Vauxhall dealer. My mobile is on contract (Vodafone) and they were quite happy to issue a duplicate sim for the same number. However I have a cross band tariff (it more than halves the phone charges) and for some obscure technical reason it is impossible to have a dual sim card on this type of tariff. After a bit of practice it is quite easy to swop the sim back and forth but with my memory I always seem to find that the card is in the car when I am not and vice versa! Not much help I know but at least you are not alone! 8) I've got one of those 'CCRT700's' as well. Can someone put me out of my misery and tell me how (OR IF)I can use without creating some form of temporary SIM card holder every time I want to use it, as I do because the clarity is superb compared to any headsets.

I have a 2001 2.2 cdx estate that has 42k on the clock. Does anyone have a recommendation for a good place to change the cambelt in the South London/Kent area and how much it should cost? Cheers
I,m a Vauxhall virgin. Said I would never have a Vauxhall. Said I would never have an automatic. Said I would never have a diesel. You can imagine how I surprised myself when I went and bought an Omega 2.5TD CDX (the one with the BMW diesel engine about 4 months ago. Must be my age or something! I had no idea you were all so nuts about them! I know of VW nuts (have a Karmann cabrio beetle) but Vauxhalls!!? Anyway, great car BUT I have a few faults with mine. M Reg. 166K miles Auto box. Have had the car about 4 months now and Auto box failed on me last week. It's in the garage as I write this. Really enjoy the drive but the likely cost (£1250) is taking the edge off a bit! I was worried about the consumption I was getting (no, not the disease, the diesel consumption) but seems that mine is about average from the messages I have read. Heater only works to demist, no hot air to feet! Still, summer's nearly with us. Have not been able to get the cruise control working. Bought it from a garage (NOT Vauxhall dealer) and feel that I was a bit laid back on checking things out (still reeling from the loss of my 2.3l injection Volvo 240GLT that day! what a car that was, 260,000miles on petrol engine AND it's back on the road and for sale at £495!) Still - prefer the comfort and drive of the Omega (and much prefer it to the new VW Passat estate I've had as a hire car). Hope time will heal the present wound and the car will not let me down too often in the future. Must get back to work to pay for the 'box. No doubt will be joining the discussions in future. Best wishes to all who read this
I have new shape 2.5td cdx estate, like you i had similar drone from dash area, on mine i found it was the exhaust baffle resonating, i could isolate mine by having engine on idle, leaning under car with a rag in my hand ,(because the heat) slightly lift the exhaust and it dissapeared, i put a new vaux pipe on and its solved the problem, i can now hear the nice 6 cyl note!, my pipe needed changing anyway its time was up, easy job 1 hr, mine has also once done this wabble just above idle, it feels like its trying to work its way out the bonnet!, dont know myself anymore yet, its the phrase "if it a'nt broke don't fix it!!" good luck. Sorry to you other guys with poor economy mine is still doing 27 mpg towing my 1.5 ton van, 33 round town and high 40's on a run. try simple things first, clean air filter?, fuel filter?, i do use redex all the time to try and keep injectors top dog.
