Re: stereo wiring?
You most probably need an ISO adaptor harness thing;
One of these, get them from just about any decent halfords or motor place thingy.

Re: stereo wiring?
I have just done mine on the attached thread.

Ironically the stereo works better than it did in Citroen which it came out of as it now has a memory, even though it was connected via a proper connector in that. On this i just cut the wires and connected them all together (With a fair bit of help, as you will see on the thread).
I changed the speakers too so just looked at the colour of the wires at the speakers to see which ones to wire up to the stereo (although 2 did change colour en-route).

Re: stereo wiring?
Sorry I forgot to mention that all the wires for the power block are cut and not
attached to anything. But the speaker block is wired up.

I used this thread. Worked a treat. Speakers are good, fit straight in.

Any time Stu, we have to help one another on here.
I recommend Pioneer 6x4's, 110 watt, fit straight in with no cutting or butchering involved.
