Vx dealer has just quoted £44 for the belt and £37 for the pulley (minus the tensioner)

Do Vauxhall have a price list or do they make it up as they go along?

Bend over M'lud!  ;D

What did you expect? If you're happy to pay the price, then do so... Otherwise shop around ::)

Yes, there are set prices for retail and trade (and tradeclub if a tradeclub item).  Anyone should be able to get trade price on any item, unless you look stupid enough to pay full whack.

I did warn you!

3 to 4 times the price just for a Vx sticker on the packaging that you will put straight in the bin seems mental to me. And you have to choose your dealer carefully if you expect competence and good service as well.

I tend to agree.

It doesn't seem cost effective to spend silly money on an elderly dowager like the Omega.

I was expecting around £11 as that's what other people have paid previously according to the thread.

As I'm not happy with that I ordered from VCP.  :y

Actually, Mr The Bear, the belt wasn't so bad price. Mine was £26 with TC, which is about what I'd pay from a local motorfactors. Admittedly that's not as cheap as a cheap online supplier, but when I was asking about it, I had that many people on here saying they'd ordered the 'right' drive belts, they'd arrived wrong/too short etc, and ended up just going to Vx and getting the right one, saving the hassle, I opted for GM.

Vx dealer has just quoted £44 for the belt and £37 for the pulley (minus the tensioner)

Do Vauxhall have a price list or do they make it up as they go along?

And the trade club price is...? ::) ;D
