Been quoted about 70 quid for the pair on TC (including VAT) is that right or am I going to have to speak to the Parts Manager again? 

[Auto Addict]

Don't think they are on TC.

I think he sells it as a job lot, not the gaskets on their own.  I have asked......

Yep I paid £24 + VAT each (TC or trade?)

[TheBoy]

£25 per bank sounds about right, it by the time you have all the o-rings and sealeants and VAT that it gets to £70

How long have they lasted so far?

Just asking so I can tell you how you have until they fail again 

[biggriffin]

They are oe gaskets same as as those from gm.
  the cam covers ive repaced in the past still ok the largest problem ive noticed is people over tighting the bolts or the covers are wharped from a previous change.

I don't think they are, IIRC they are Elrig who make parts for Vauxhall but not the camcover gaskets. There have been quite a few people fooled by the oe claim and then had to replace them with ones bought from Vauxhall

I have heard that they were different.  I tried some from there years ago and they lasted about 6 months.  Replaced with genuine and no problems thereafter.

I hope for your sake they have changed/been improved

They are not genuine,going by recent posts. Budget for another £70 quid in the next few months.

Could by the job lot and sell the rest on here or ebay. Going by my drive I can see there is an oil leak issue.
