What mileage has your Vectra done? Not advisable just to change the belt as it's usually the tensioner that is the weak point. If it has done starship miles then it's advisable to change the water pump at the same time.
For reference, Vauxhalls official cambelt change recommendation for the Z18XER engine is 100,000 miles or 10 yrs (whichever comes sooner)
