which wire is it and where exactly is it?
ive had a good look, but am unsure, tried to pull the radio out again, even had an audio shop try with their more substanstial keys and they gave up and said try vx, which i'd rather not.

looks like a new HU would be the best option...
looking at the the Clarion DUZ388RMP, obviously id need a facia adaptor to make it fit - anyone have any pictures of this particular model installed?
would the radio data bit of the data computer and stering wheel controls still work?

i know these dont like CDRs so i was wondering what is the best way to have another input such as a memory card reader or usb or mp3 player type thing, that gets controlled through the headunit?

New belt etc fittted, turnrned over by hand.
Cams get halfway round, then wont move any further.
So I have bent valves.
Best course of action?
Cost of fixing, and difficulty?

OK, whats broken is the cambelt tensioner - the one at the top between the two banks. the ball bearings have failed and gone everywhere.
anyway, the drivers bank (1&2) timing is ok, but the passenger bank (3&4)- the cam 4 timing was about an inch different to cam 3. i have reset it all to the correct timing, but how do i know whether there is any internal valve damage?

Cant tell you the error codes till later in the week, but there are two or three from memory.
tensioners etc were all changed with belt. vauxhall kit.
2003 2.6 auto saloon, 95500 miles cambelt at 79k.
did accidentally put about 3 litres of two stoke/petrol mix in 300 miles previous - makes no differnce according to RAC fella.

On holiday in Devon, about 5 minutes from the accomodation and i the EML comes on, and i lose power, no odd noises just low power, i.e floor it at 40 and not a lot happens, just slowly speed up. Think to myself i'll pull over in the next layby and then the engine cuts. no bang or anything just cuts out. coast onto a grass verge and turn the key, grating noise. 
RAC come out and diagnose a top end problem, with the cams most likely, tow me to a garage who estimate £2k without even looking at the engine for new belt and gubbins, new gaskets, skimmed heads and new cams all round, i tell them dont bother i'll have the RAC flatbed it home next week at the end of my holiday, in the meantime i've bought a cheap as chips '96 1.2 corsa that's as slow as a one legged dog on tranquilizers. but anyway, when i get home i'm gonna investigate properly and fix it myself if possible.
So any ideas what it could be?
Timing belt was tight and only 17k old btw.
