Gone up a lot in recent years, £90 sounds about right

I had a Circoli put in when I had the cambelt service done 3 odd years ago, still fine and currently £26.80 with delivery at ECP which is cheaper than I paid back in 2011.

I've got one of these and it seems to pump the coolant out of the various leaks quite nicely!

Think I paid about £86 last month for one on the 2.6, will have to dig out the bill.

According to the Vauxhall receipt I have in my hand right now... I paid £31.83 for the thermostat and £9.25 for the drain tube for my 2.5... Purchased in May 2013

Yep, it seems most Vx Omega parts have gone up.

Water pump price is about £90 on TC, as is a window solinod. Both were in the £35 range only 18 months ago.  My Vx parts contact is now very embarrassed by how these parts have gone up in price and is now openly recommending suppliers in the Vx parts discontinued market.

The truth is that the last Omega came off the line 11 years ago, and manufacturers generally need only keep parts available for up to 10 years since production ceased.

... and the quality is not there either. As Webby can vouch for, shocks shot inside 3 years. Mine did 150k and 8 years or so. Parts not what they used to be, when leaving the factory when new

Didn't have someone have a GM water pump fail very quickly recently?

I think I'd be buying pattern from a reputable manufacturer at that price, and not changing it unless/until it fails.
