    See if YOU can deal with this lot

    OK…get your heads around this lot

    DAB
    MP3
    ECC
    IDS-plus
    ESP-plus
    HSA
    TPMS
    AFL
    EHP
    ALC
    CDC
    DDS
    GSM




    SO.,….what do they all mean ?

    NO googling…..off the top of your heads

    Its ALL to do with New Astra and some is standard stuff, some are options ya pay for, and some are linked items…..you get one with the other.

    And the LAST thing is….how the HELL am I supposed to help Maud and Harry, or Edith and Fred , choose what they want? I’ve got people with GOLF CLUBS to fit in the boot, and doddery old Labradors to walk, NOT a need for TPMS with DDS!
