In my experience sounds like a carb problem. Check all the inlet manifold bolts are tight etc. Air could be getting in. My airbox sits very close to the top of the bonnet, But I wouldnt worry I dont think the Astra has a different size inlet.

sounds like it needs a tune.... you can get short filters for use with the 32/34

if it keeps cutting out it could just mean your engine needs retiming. or something similar to that! i had a similar problem with my car cutting out. take it to a tuners and explain whats going on. they could sort it out quickly enough.

well whoever tuned it was a sack and didnt do it right then
go somewhere else
and u'll need a shorter filter
think u can get a ramair one for it thats very low profile
