just got tricked in to servicing the wifes vectra. What brain decided to squash a 2.5 v6 in that engine bay?  My god, it took me about three hours to change the plugs and leads.  Found the back bank had never been done tho (its an s reg on 85000) and leads where all original. I literally had to dismantle the engine to do it. All service stamps from vauxhall and they'd never changed the plugs.......shows them for the gibbering monkeys they are.
Oh how i love the negine bay in my mig now.

I sympathise completely, doing the job on a 2.0 veccy was hassle enough...courage dude, courage!

Ive done them on my V6 vec... and I need to change them on my Omega V6... (Would rather do the vec again!)

However, from looking under the bonnet, the Vectra looks easier than the mig  

On the vectra, its just a case of removing the plenums, and then there plenty of space...

However, I can see the Right bank of the engine been a pig to get to on the Omega as theres alsort living above it, including the engine wiring loom I think!

2.0 Omega
2.5 Vectra

VEctra would be fine with the 2.0 and Omegas TBH work well with the V6
