Sounds like the permanent live and ignition live have been swapped round, which is the usual when fitting after market stereo's.

The black iso plug should be in 3 sections stuck together, the top row is the longest, containing the changer connections and the multi display wires, the middle row is for the speaker wires (runs to the amp on your car) and the bottom row is the power wires etc,

if all this is correct, then then swapping the wires back to where they should be will allow you to plug the std unit in.

 

The black ISO plug is in place just as you described 3 rows of pins with longer one on top.we should be able to slot the head unit in then,sounds simple to switch wires back ,the $64,000 question is it simple.I'm a fairly practical guy and know how to use a soldering iron.

once again many thanks.I am interested in getting the head unit,send me a PM and we'll sort it out,many,many thanks

got old unit out,we have a red and white plug not connected to old unit and a multi DIN(black oblong with lots of pin connectors on it,excuse the tech terminolgy) that unit plugs onto.The lead to this is then connected to another wire similar to red/white ones but it has been fitted somehow under neath a bunch of insulating tape.no other connectors visible,is this what you mean by 3 connectors and does it sound butchered.I think the old unit was not connected to aerial and prob only used for playing tapes.thanx again vauxfan2k.

yep that will be the amp, I have the exact stereo you need here, I had it decoded so it should fit straight in providing your connectors havent been butchered, you will need to take out the head unit and have a look to see that all 3 blocks are in tact. if so then its a straight fit.

I have the cage, stereo, and the 4 grub screws £22 posted if you are interested.

 

Yeah that would be a deal,need to check connectors,will do shortly and send you a PM.Thanx

what model is the cd changer? if its a philips dc012 then the stereo you need is a SC804 (without display)

Also check that your car has the 2 subs in the rear shelf, the amp for them will be behind the rear inner wing beside the spare wheel (on saloon)

cheers


 

yep dc012 changer and it looks like i have the rear shelf subs and there is a black box with loads if wires going to it where you saidthe amp will be.if this means i need the SC804 then will it just plug in and should i leave request in bits wanted section,many thanks for the help and advice.

trouble engaging first and reverse is an indication of clutch going,had this on my old manual van was able to adjust the pedal a little and that helped.

Deffo HT leads you can see the plastic cable management around them.

They are difficult to remove so someone looks like they took the easy option.

The caps at the other end are probably just dangling near the dis pack

Is it ok to leave them well alone or should they come out???
Thanks for the input guys,appreciated.

They look like the vac pips which operate the multiram, air injection adn ehater controls....

Can you get a shot of the brake servo pipe where the one way valve is (its just behind and above where that pic is)

this is the only other pic for now can do more if needed to track down what these are
