After a major mess up with my local parts dept,when they managed to twice order the incorrect thermostat housing and casing,can anybody tell me what is the correct price for 90502201,or would I be safe buying after market,as I am now excluded from my local VX dealers due to a "slight disagrement"which esculated into ..well I am sure you can guess.!!

Oh Dear  

Not sure if there are aftermarket parts in this area  :-/ but as with most i`d steer clear and go for Gen VX...

Housing comes with the stat - or did last time i bought it, and the long transfer pipe comes seperate.

Sure the stat/ housing was about £20 odd and the long transfer pipe about £15...Not at home so cant 100% check  :-/

Maybe someone local can go get one for you.....

Markie..if my memory is correct during the "exchange of banter"in the parts dept the figure of £43=00 for the stat and housing comes to mind,but I did suggest that ..well ..."they can sit on that and rotate".
I did look at the fleabay part but was unsure if to risk as not Genuine...£25 ish sounds more realistic though.

43 (retail) sounds about right to me (and to be fair reasonable compared to a 25 quid aftermarket part).    I understand aftermarket is OK - don't go to Halfords though - the one they stock for the 2.5 is actually the 2L one.
