The manifold seals and plenum O rings can be reused if in good condition.  Wipe a finger of oil over them to clean and renew :y

The rest is essential and must be Vx  :y

Got it...BUT what sort of cost should i be paying to have a garage do it....labour wise.

"Autodata" says that the "standard time" for removal and re-install of both cam covers is 1.9 hours ... so I suppose it depends on how much your garage charges per hour ...  :)

2 hrs ??  That will be good to watch.

I've got a whole bag of bits here on my desk waiting to go.  Seems very little "rubber" to justify £148.00 although VX will take back anything we don't use.

There again, I have a client who sells a single nut and bolt for over £50.00 (Aircraft part)

6 large rings 9118135

No duggs I don't think you have been ripped off, as I note you have the gaskets / o rings for the inlet manifold as well.  I usuasly manage to re-use those, so are not normally of my list of parts as they are expensive, but can be safely re-used. ;) ;)

Thank you, puts my mind at rest.  As mentioned VX will take them back if we don't need them.
