The mechanism is probably failed.  Its a very flimsey, crappy setup (take it apart, you'll see what I mean).

Catch (no pun intended!) 22 though, you need to open glovebox to remove it, and you need to remove glovebox to be able to get to catch mech...

Vectra Elite Estate doing good post-Omega service but still not as nice to sit in.

One last Omega on the drive, one Corsa on the lawn...maybe they'll go to a good home before too long!
