Its been installed into a MK4 Astra not a MK2........MK4 Astra is harder than a 309 GTI to install.

Are you sure that is a mk4 Astra, the hazard switch looks more like mk2/3 Astra or Cavalier.

MK2 Astra hazard is situated on the side of the dash panel. MK3 Astra is situated in between the air vents and cavalier 2/3 are situated on the side dash panel.

Only know this as owned 4 GTE's (2 being 16v's) 2 MK3 Astra GSI's, 1 MK3 Cav SRI and 1 MK3 Cav GSI.

The MK4 Astra's put them on top of the steering colum.

I know sh!t loads about 80's and 90's Vauxhall's but learning about VW's thus my interest in this thread as want to see a Digi in a VW!

just a little update  i reckon its taken me less than 4 hours to do this a lot less tbh but hey its done and i think it looks good only thing that could be done if your a perfectionist is to sand the filler more and it would look spot on, but for the time being its going in as i dont have any clocks in my daily car now lol





bit of plastic primer



Gloss black which i think i want to change it to matt black now

Whereabouts do you live mate......If you are near Milton Keynes I can help you install it. What code is your transducer and did it come with the digi-dash as there are 3 separate transducers and it needs to be the correct one.
