I'm no expert on this, but could the crank and cam sensors have gone out of sync or one of them have dried out? That was the eventual problem on mine, and after the AA guy read the codes he popped the sensors out, gave them a quick squirt of WD40 and the car started first time.

you aint recently changed the battery in the fob have you? Inside the fob there is a transponder for the immobiliser, they fall out sometimes when the batteries are changed

Vectra's are renowned for immobilizer and ecu problems hopefully you will be lucky but don't count on it!
