Vauhall did have there radio's wired like this on some models, you don't say what year it is ,it might also be a new radio just wired up wrong, the radio can be rewired to go off but would need to see an audio repairer

This sounds like a problem in the fuel shut off circuit. When you turn the key on, it energizes the fuel shut off solenoid on the injection pump. When you turn off the key, power is removed and the pump is moved by spring to the fuel off position. Check for power at this terminal when you are having a problem, ( with the key on) If no power then I would check the wiring and connectors from this connection to the Ignition key. I believe it is wired direct. That can be checked at http://www.alldata.com/products/index.jsp
subscribe3 and get a wiring schematic for the car and see if it is wired direct to the ign switch of from a relay, I am sure it is a connection problem if you have no power.
A 1.7 diesel even if turboed, is dead slow in any vehicle let alone a van. Enjoy the fuel economy
good luck

The problem is in the loom in the steering wheel, it requires removal of the airbag and a new wheel loom to be fitted. The loom costs about £15.00 I think.
SOURCE: how do you turn off
you should really have the car plugged into a diagnostic unit to find the cause of the light staying on.
if you remove the steering wheel carefully following the directions in the workshop manual, you will find a "cassette" with a conductive ribbon inside, to carry electrical signals from the steering wheel to the column. this ribbon often breaks on the vauxhalls and will result in the airbag light staying on.
9 out of 10 airbag faults on vauxhalls are cured by replacing this cassette. the light would then reset itself.
always remember that airbags are EXPLOSIVE devices and should not be handled without taking the safety precautions listed in the service manual. if you are not sure, get a competent mechanic to do the job
