it has a timing belt. VX state it should be changed at 100,000 miles but 60,000 is safer. Get the water pump changed at the same time as these tend to go after being disturbed in the belt change. expect to pay about £250 from an independent garage.
Yes
72K miles or 5 years (whichever comes first) for most engines. Get accessories belt (alternator belt) changed too as failure can smash timing belt cover causing belt failure.

To remove the alternator from a Vauxhall Vectra (53 plate), first disconnect the battery to ensure safety. Then, remove any components obstructing access, such as the engine cover or air intake. Next, disconnect the electrical connections from the alternator and remove the drive belt using a belt tensioner tool. Finally, unbolt the alternator from its mounting bracket and carefully lift it out of the engine bay.
To fit a Vectra diesel 2.0 fan belt, make sure that you make reference to the user manual.
