Vauxhall Astra Mk 2 full service manual (microfiche)

Vauxhall Astra, Opel Kadett & Vauxhall Belmont full service manual (microfiche) 1990

These microfiches contain the full workshop service instructions for the Vauxhall Astra and related models from 1990. My late father got them when he owned a Mk 2 Astra in 1990.  Rather than just chuck them I thought I'd check to see if anyone could make good use of them... an invaluable resource if you're embarking on a restoration project or just keeping one on the road!  He also had a Carlton at the same time so I'll be putting a similar post in that group...

 

The microfiches are marked "08/90" (presumably August 1990) and "6th Revised Edition". They were bought with an H-reg vehicle so that aligns perfectly. The document identifier seems to be TSD-1448/6-GB and the "article number" is 93133.

There are four microfiches in total. All are in excellent condition (they were only ever used in a DIY context and never in a commercial garage) and are still in the original Opel branded envelope.

The four microfiches contain:

• I Sections A to H
• II Section J (OHC petrol & CIH petrol engines)
• III Section J (DOHC petrol and OHC diesel engines)
• IV Sections K to R

The section headings are:

• A Maintenance, body and chassis sheet metal parts
• B Paint
• C Body equipment
• D Heating, ventilation and air conditioning
• E Frame, front wheel suspension, wheels and tyres
• F Rear axle and rear wheel suspension
• [G is omitted]
• H Brakes
• [I is omitted]
• J Engine and engine aggregates
• K Clutch and transmission
• L Fuel and exhaust system
• M Steering
• N Electrical equipment and instruments
• [O to Q are omitted]
• R Optional equipment and accessories

Microfiche readers are readily available at relatively low cost on eBay and there seem to be people that offer a microfiche-to-PDF transcription service as well.
