I got a quote of Lookers Liverpool for a complete set including all gaskets & O rings (I'm replacing as I go regardless of condition) as per the recommendations on the How To and including VAT £146 non TC.
Am waiting for my Trade Card to turn up before embarking on the spending spree at the stealers.

It wasn't actually TC... just normal 'Trade' discount... which wasn't that huge anyway.

also dont forget to clean the breathers while ur there

and then they wonder why i spent about 60 quid and got some aluminum covers off a vectra v6 and they genuine gm gaskets for the covers from autovaux

it was 20 quid from scrapper for camcovers
then 28 and few pennys for the gaskets for both banks and delivery for 28 quid iirc
and then 10 at main stealers for o rings and sealent as av had sold out typical eh

Shouldn't mind taking a look at your cam covers....the gaskets i want are for my dads.. i got a wanted ad on ebay for some veccy covers...are they a worthwhile mod?...Wayne

i was changeing gaskets every other month and i havent had to change a set since :D so i would say so ofc they still get a weekly check over for leaks but there ok now so i would say yes it is a worthwhile mod

Thats coz there not TC items, so dealer would have only given you trade price on them  ;)
