It appears after my track weekend, I have boiled the fluid so much that I have wiped out one circuit of the MC.

I got it home and have tried to bleed it, with one diagonal fine and then other not pumping at all.

I spoke to Dan on here about what MC to get and also checked on the forums however my car is a 4 door hatch and not sure what engine it had in it and therefore not sure if I had an obscure MC.

I am told could go for a mk3 astra one, but just want to make sure it will fit with the servo I have, not sure if the servo was ever changed.

Would a picture help?

Ok, Vauxhall spares around the corner says I need to give him the 2 letter code ontop of the MC to identify if he has one.

I said I know they are interchangable with Astra ones, but again still uncertain.

Do you know which astra 2 letter code I need?

I have a DD mastercylinder if that helps.....

take it off and take it in with you and physically compare it with other vaux ones as long as it bolts same to the servo should be fine as in hindsight they all do the same just different pressures which an astra one will be better for you if they fit

IIRC its mk1 astra, good luck finding one.

Standard nova one will be fine, yours will be no different to any other nova of the same era even tho its a more door.
