Surely thats a breach of the Trade Description Act?  :-?

Everything on the site says they have Genuine Vaux Spares, I can see from the pic that it is a cheap shitty alternative....

I saw these a while back on ebay
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370107027655&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:GB:1123

I asked them if the black sealant came with the kit . now here's there reply !!

Thanks for your enquiry.

Sorry, we don't sell the sealant.
Some enthusiasts swear by the genuine GM gaskets because there are some thin gasket sets around which do tend to leak.

To date, we've never has a problem with our gaskets - they're not the thin copies that you can get cheaper.

So dunno if there much cop or not, as probably need a set when I do get to do cambelt + these as think they leak at moment  on my v6 ..when my health improves. :-[
