you power steering fluid may be low, if that was the case then you would have lowerd hydrolic power to steer the wheels and have to compensate by using more force...which may be why your steering is stiff.
if its a vectra b (95 -01) then its under the steering wheel there is a recess you put your hand in and pull it. on the cover you pulled off its stamped on there?
look on the vectra forums
1. Low steering fluid level. 2. Incorrect software version in steering ECU. 3. Failed steering ECU. Some Early Vectras (of the Vectra "C" model) had a fluid level switch in the fluid bottle. This switch is well known for giving false "low fluid" warning messages, and was deleted from later cars. There is a software update available from Vauxhall dealers, that deletes the "low fluid level" function. If the software update does not fix the problem, and the fluid level is correct, a new steering pump/ECU/fluid reservoir assembly will be needed. (or just ignore the massage)
