from the astra gte?

i had one with the AK transducer from the 8v GTE (i think the other is an AH from the 16v GTE, could be wrong!)

the only wire i had was the thin blue one, i didnt think it was going to work, so i swapped it for the nova gte clocks, the guy then got digi working in his gte!

basically, i dont think you need all the wiring, as long as you have the rev cable!

If the link still works (cos it dont sometimes) try nova-land.com i got my diagram from there, its not that hard jus a bit scary cos u gotta chop off the plug that goes in the bk of your clocks and wire the GTE one onto your novas loom, as long as u got a decent diagram its easy, and the sender uses one signal wire an a power n earth, if you cant get hold of a sender an u can find a mk2 1.2i in scrappy they got a sender that will work i used one on mine an the speedo was spot on!!!!

pain in the ass on a mk1, need to chop the dash abit and mod it so the clocks fit

also heard you need to remove dash, but im not 100% on that one

just looked at the guide on nova-land and seems like alot of work and its the 16v one so not as nice anyway.

cheers all.
