I have never done one on a 1.8, but have done them on a 2.0 vectra.  I know on the 2.0 a lot of people re-route the cable because it is awkward to get into the original position. 

Depends on how fussy you are really.  I re-routed mine on my old 2.0 and it worked away no probs.

Fiddly and dont do it whilst its hot, its un-doing the bolt that is the hardest bit as its obscured by the aircon bracket.

Removing the exhaust heat shield helps you get your hand in.

Nope, subframe and antiroll bar are in the way
