ordered a 2.6 coil pack bosch 0 221 503 027 (same as fitted to my v6)
got sent a 3.2 se coil pack bosch 0 221 503 473
checked that number and it is 2,4,6 pack but off vectra c /signum 3.2 z32se

looks the same
can't find a matching cross reference to say the 3.2 item succeeds the old part number

purchased it from The Boy's favorite on-line auction site 

send it back ? or will it be fine 
bearing in mind ,i have to dismantle half the car to swap it

It will be fine. Get it done

And next time, start from the front, not the boot

Personally, and this is just Me      ....... I would switch the Engine off before replacing.

I do switch the engine off before dumping the oil out the sump 
and i'm not fast enough to crack the shells off the big ends with the engine @ 800 rpm
