EDIT, a further google found a how2 on YouTube for an Insignia. I can't see changing the Astra-J knob being any different.

Further EDIT

It isn't by the looks of it.

Holy moly, is that last video legit? Can I just pull it out like that and replace it?

Almost. You'll also need to detach the gearknob from the leather/vinyl gaiter.

I never changed mine in the end as it only had a small split in the rubber. I did take it off though to repair the split with superglue.

I unclipped the surround at the base of the gaiter using a metal ruler, making sure I was careful not to mark the plsatic, and then proceeded to remove the gearknob as per the YouTube clip.
Once removed, fold the gaiter over the top of the gearknob and you'll see a cable tie. Cut this and the gearknob can be separated from the gaiter. Fitting is the reverse of removal as they say.

Thanks.

Hoping it fits and is compatable.. I think it is.. My car is an Astra GTC 1.4 Turbo 64 plate... But now looking at the ebay listing I'm not sure whether this will be okay for a GTC?? God damnit...
