yea i replied to your PM, u can get all those parts down here in free port, or Life Style Motors. but Free Port is Cheaper.

Kevin, parts available from ERM auto, Freeport. Also got a friend with one -bought two years ago. he was very concerned about parts. so far so good, he did some servicing at VMCOTT

I tryin to find out when they have them things
All the Astra police cars were the base econo 1.4s....they are remarkably slow, 1 - 60 in 14 seconds ....less for the police cars with all the added weight

nah dread, i want an bigger engine than that, lol, i wish i could get an omega engine.

thats a 2.2l 16v.

Shows how stupid the MET must think trinidadians are when they made that Goverment deal back then. The Astras the Police had in the UK at the time had a 1.8 16v X18XE. And I know the Police Astras in trinidad were made in Luton, UK and are Vauxhalls vs Opels. Opels are made in continental europe.

We got Astra vans that have that were swaped with the 240 or 197bhp engine in them. Plus there is a 170 version of the 2.0 16v T that is fairly common and was fitted to the Astra convertable.

yea, and they have them in 2.0 too down here. anyone would be fine with me, lol

you wana talk stupid?
THose Vauxhall Astras came with fly-by-wire throttle
A friend of mine who is a former Vauxhall / GM exec spent a whole day trying to explain to the fleet manager why there was no accelerator cable At the end of teh day, the local guy looked at him and asked 'so where they run de cable?'
Poor fella could just not understand the concept

is to find out when, and where a crashed VRX AStra is, how we goin to know,?

Drive by wire is going to be in all vehicles once they have torque request PCM strategies. Very normal these days and nothing special.
I just thought that the Metropolitan Police UK, who recommend those cars to the Trini gov short changed us. They had better spec'd vehicles at the time.

^^^^I know the guys from Vauxhall had a good chuckle, but don't be fooled....our guys knew the specs.....as to whether they understood those specs is debatable
The performance figures were even published in the newspapers

if you have the cash, I have some direct links to one of the biggest Vauxhall dealerships in the UK....I am sure they would have some idea....give me a few weeks to see what I can dig up

serious man, well i dont have the cash now, but when i do i will check u, i want a turbo engine, like a 2.0 turbo,
