depends what model astra it is. later ones were x20xev etc. up to an L reg in the gsi's were c20xe. some L reg were c18xe also. all astra sports and later gsi mk3's were the x20xev or whatever its called.

The P1 Gsi also came on an M plate and are rarer with the C20XE.

What's a P1 GSi? I agree you can get the XE's on Mplates but didn't think there were any specials or anything.
