• Replacement audio in Astra 16 Aug 2001 (Forum)
  My son wants to replace the radio/single CD audio unit (Delco ) with a Kenwood Radio/Cassette unit (that came from his old car) which will also control a multi changer CD player unit . What will happen to the current display screen (time/temperature and radio tuning info) if the system is changed? Will the current wiring loom plug into the new unit requiring only the multi-changer to be mounted in the boot(or wherever) and the cable connected to it and the dashboard unit?

However, the cam belts are due for a change and I would only want to take it to someone who knows what they are doing.

  i know it is the old issue but why the price of diesel is 4 or 5 pence more than unleaded. i have 2 diesel cars and i think any advantage of being better efficiency is wiped out by the difference in prices; acceleration hard to achieve similar petrol performance at junctions will cost further.
