Just found out the Cd for my car as opposed to standard Astras, but this is from an unverified source:

Standard Astra Cd - 0.308
ECO4 Astra Cd - 0.284

So not quite up to Calibra standards!

However, same source quoted gear ratios:

1st = 3.73:1 (as per standard 1.7)
2nd = 1.96:1 (as per standard 1.7)
3rd = 1.13:1 (as per standard 1.7)
4th = 0.85:1 (normally 1.95:1)
5th = 1.67:1 (normally 1.76:1)

So this source is probably accurate.
