If you visit your main dealer with the reg number he will provide you with the correct part. Many factors are also able to check against the reg number.

Probably relay (also from motor factors or dealer) should not be too expensive but if not relay then column switch, (a lot more) but try all connections first.

Check vectra forums...........
