It's possible that the 214 will be sold on now but i'm still deciding :? O...

It just so happens that I got a haynes manual that covers 820,825 & 827 engines.
Could scan the wiring diagrams in to my pc and e-mail them:)
Just don't tell Mr. Haynes or he'll nab me for copyright theft :shock:

After having my astra burnt out in a multi storey car park, and then snapping the cam belt on my sierra, my boss asked if I was in the market for a car.
