Without knowing the model number of the stereo fitted, its difficult to answer, but if you let me have some details I will try to point you in the right direction.
P.S.
Avoid the TXT speak on here as it gets right up peoples noses

I can decode that radio for you, but you would need to send it to me

But they will only tell you of the original stereo fitted all those years ago -
If teh stereo has ever been changed, repaired or decoded, then you will have wasted your money with Vauxhall -
My service is 100% accurate, as we take the readings directly from the stereo, and not a guess from an out of date database

Not completely, you'd still get a code for immobilser & key :y

first of all i want to say thanks to all the people who have replied to my topic much appriciated if thats how u spell it but im still a bit confused dave said to send the unit!? i dont understand what you mean by that and i wanted to get the stereo fixed before i drive to birmingham for a week shane said i should try the dealers which was my 1st guess but wanted to see if i can find it by searching the internet and websites such as this one will they charge me for the code the stereo has never been replaced or repaired so i guess it just might help dave also said that other extra stuff so can you please explain a little bit more and probably give me the best solution if possible to get it done without no cost then would be my best option if not then please do advice me more thanks :)

Dave needs some radios to de-code them, some are done via serial numbers etc over the internet.
The Car Pass from Vauxhall gives more than just the radio code, it also gives you the codes if you ever wanted to get a replacement key. The Tech II (Vx's diagnostic/coding kit) will ask for a code as you program keys. It would also give you the code that Vauxhall would require if you wanted to order a new key blade from them (ie not just copying them to a blank) and CD changer code as applicable :y
