F16 give quicker acceleration, due to closer ratio's

i personally, rather use the f20, slightly better eccomony, mint on the motorway, has low rev's when cruising around 70

Yeah, I've looked into a bit more now, turned out I had a file on my PC that gave me the answer anyway.

The F16 was Origonaly fitted to all of the 8V big block engines in the Astra. It's te F15 I'm after.

The F15 is a diesel gearbox as fitted standard on lowblow mkIII astras.

It was fitted to diesels but I'm looking for an F15CR from the 1.6 small blocks
