The vectra B. As said, the rose bushes on the rear sub-frame wear, and the squeaking, even when getting in and out of the car is a giveaway. Straightforward job, but time consuming and frustrating if you haven't got the puller to get the old bushes out. The B 1.9 diesel is good up to about 100k or thereabouts, and that's when it happens. The diesel pump packs up. It doesn't matter where you are, it just packs up, usually on tickover. No new ones available so I believe, only reconditioned items. I think they are £1500/£1800 fitted and programmed.
