Anything's possible... But when someone says that it normally means it's more trouble than it's worth.  ;)

I've no idea how powered tailgates normally work, so not sure if it's easily retro-fittable. :-\

Been considering this myself.  The Vectra-C uses actuators in place of gas struts, and there is a how-2 on the Vectra-C forum showing how to retro-fit the system to a Vectra-C.  Having said that, it looks like a hell of a lot of work and will be expensive.

Is this why you wanted the 3-button key fobs Peter?  ??? ;)

That was the idea, the last set was for somebody else.
