			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Hello!<br />
Allow me to introduce my self, I'm a U.S Service member stationed in Germany for the next few years. Also a moderator on <a href="http://www.Zumaforums.net" target="_blank">Zumaforums</a>, a scooter forum for the Yamaha BWs (Zuma) 50/ 125. <br />
Just purchased a used 93 Opel Astra 1.8i 2door sedan. I'll be looking for mostly technical information for repair/maintenance. Fortunately the previous owner has a maintenance book from the UK to hand down. I would like one on digits (PDF) if anyone has a copy. Could not find one on line from a reputable place. The Astra has 131,000 KM on it and all the expensive stuff looks good i.e Motor, trans, exhaust, suspension, brakes, electric. Paid £921 for it with new set of great winter tires, new mats, gas cans, and new distributor cap, plug, and wires. So good deal all in all. Only need it to last three years or so. Well thanks, and drive safe.<br />
<br />
Daniel<br />

<br />
would really appreciate it if someone could possibly post some pics of my options, doesn't have to be a mk4 astra wheel particularly but i would want one that still has an airbag and that would just be a straight swap.<br />
<br />
one last thing, if you do decide to help me out with some suggestions of wheels i'd appreciate it if you also gave me a rough idea of what a good price for one is so i know what i should spend and not get ripped off lol!</div>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div>Hi all. Basically just bought myself a nice Sony head unit. Got it all fitted in today however as I'm sure you know there's two wires for the live the constant and ignition. Currently I have both connected to constant live meaning I have to manually turn the radio on and off however I cannot find the ignition live. On the adapter I bought it doesn't go to the loom it's just a long wire I need to attach myself so I'm assuming that the ignition live isn't part of the original loom? So where can I connect this ignition live so that the stereo turns on when I put the key in and turns off when I take the key out? Also another quick thing is there is another wire which has illumination written on it currently this isn't connected to anything and everything seems to work ok so does anybody have any idea what this is actually for?</div>
