Take the scuttle off (takes 5 mins) and have a look.  Generally you have a rectangular or oval connector for the 2.5/3.0.  The 2.6/3.2s have a completely different setup but there is only one type as far as I am aware.

Coil Pack Karl? you have a mini facelift mate they have dispacks. If I remember rightly your car is a T reg in which case I would say you need the dispack with an Oval Connection.
This is the one I think you need Karl

I have bought myself one from this seller and he was very good & about £100 cheaper than Vauxhall.

There are indeed 3 different DIS packs used over the production life of the power palnt.

Early unit (mid 97 ish and earlier) had a verticaly mounted DIS pack with the connector on the side.

This was then replaced with a horizontaly mounted DIS pack with a rectangular connector

The final variant arrived around mid 98 and is also a horizontal unit but with an oval (ish) connector.

I would guess that yorus is, as LooKnee says, the later one
