the box you want will be an f10 or f13 but you can not tell if it is a van one or not just by looking at it

I'll have to take it off the van. I want the van one cos they get the power to the wheels better.

Thanks 4 the advice lads.

Also, what is the difference between the f10+13?

f10 = 1.0 1.2 1.3
f13 = 1.6
f15 = corsa (these are even better)

The astra van diff has a very low final ratio diff which gives you better acceleration at the cost of top speed.

Yeah but how many 100 mph races do you have in a 1300.

What sort of difference do you think I am looking at? increase in acceleration, & difference in top end?

Don't know but from past experiences of lowering the diff ratio it will make you grin.
