2.2 omega haynes manuals
08. Jan 2011 at 14:12

my poor car has been sat outside the house for a while now not starting, i have had some great help from jamesv6 who came to the rescue with a code reader he is still trying to help me but due to christmas and work commitments and of coarse the great british weather i cant expect him to come to me from miles away and keep trying different things his generosity was and still is amazing, i am trying to find a haynes manual for my 2000 plate 2.2 16v auto omega so that when james can not be here then at least we can be trying things that have been suggested, i dont mind getting hands dirty but need to know what i am looking for as alot of this car is electronic where as we are used to the older cars and i dont wish to damage it any more . . . if anyone can point me in the right direction i have been to the usual shops and been told they dont do one past a 1999 plate?? have i been fobbed off????? Cheesy

any help would be great many thanks Cheesy

Jan 2011 at 14:16 There is no manual specific to the facelift (post V plate or so) car, only one for the prefacelift models. That said, the majority of the cars are essentially the same as regards running gear etc and the differences tended to be interior layout and the bonnet/bumper area. An earlier book will cover most points.

Your usual shops are quite correct. Mr Haynes didn't get around to updating the manual when the facelift cars came out and don't do one for a 2.2
AFAIK most of the major bits are similar to a 2.0 4 cylinder but obviously not everything is shared.

I think someone is slightly misleading you. The only way an auto gearbox can prevent your car from starting is due to the start inhibit circuit. Your car has to be in P or N to start, but that's only connected to the starter motor circuit and if the engine is turning over, then it's nothing at all to do with the start inhibit.

janine - consider taking up Entwoods offer if nearby, he has a generic code reader that should be able to help pinpoint it. I'm sure Entwood and Mrs Entwood will make you welcome with tea and biccies, and a good gossip.

Gearbox sensor... ...hmmm, I smell something that reminds we of the country air.

Gearbox range sensor (selector switch) could stop the start motor engaging, but easily checked by looking at LEDs.
