I bought a contitech kit last week from Vauxhallpartswarhouse (cambridge) £86.50 delivered. Not dirt chep, but not a bad price imo.
For a 2.5 obviously, but I would imagine the 3.2 version would be a similar price.

Just bought one from buypartsby - cheaper than that & a Contitech kit.

Be doing mine soon.

Not wanting to be "popping to the shop" half way through the job, what (in addition to water pump & aux belt) will I need to hand?

Cambelt kit, aux belt, water pump - total £133 delivered from Buypartsby. Bloody antifreeze was the shocker - £23 for 5 litres!! (If I'd bought it by the litre it would have been £40!!)
