    didnt know where to post this so i hope the guy/gal is on boards.

    anyway a person crashed his/her Green Opel vectra here today in Clondalkin.

    that damage was very bad. i didnt see it happen but it looks like the car hit a traffic light or something. the front of the car was really bad, falling off and the bonnet was bent badly.

    please sir, if you are here on boards please post here,

    i have q's for you.

    also, people in the car looked fine when you were out of it, hopefully you all are ok.

    Because you went to a main dealer, I'm assuming, go to a scrappie or ebay :rolleyes:

    tis indeed, but i dont mind picking up a second hand one if its in "good" to "perfect" Condition,

    i have already tried car grave yards and such but no joy with any vectra's at all.

    just have the issue's of codes though, which i dont know where to get if they dont provide a code.

    just checking their site, they have no Opel Vectra's, there are Vauxhall but im not sure about them.

    anyway north might be a lil bit far for a radio.

    Both built in the same factory on the same production line just with different badges on. Should work fine if its the same model radio. They also deliver to the republic

    well the thing is, it dosent really have to be a Vectra radio.

    it can come from an Astra, Corsa, Omega and vectra.

    just finding one is annoying.

    i will go to Ebay and gumtree and that but i do need the code to come with it.

    well we have 2 CD players here and they will work in the Vectra (with the exception of steering wheel controls) but theres nothing to actually hold them inplace, if i dont use a cage its too loose and it slides all over the place and if i do use the cage it dosent fit in at all,

    so Opel official will be the best,

    CDR 500 is the stereo you are looking for.

    If you need to get a radio code for a stereo PM me and ill give you a number of a man who decodes radios think he charges about fifty quid for it.

    CDR 500 is correct, i'll look and see if i can find a CD Player with a code first before i go through that process.

    Thanks
