I assumed that my 2001 2.6 Elite had 24 valves, but when I was speaking to the local Vauxhall dealer today he stated that is was 12 valves. Is he correct?

Something you have in the back of your wireless, isn't it? :-/
Mechanics don't do any real mechanics work any more, otherwise they'd have taken so many engines to bits, they'd know them inside out. Today it's a matter of replacing what the computer says is wrong, scratch your @rse when it doesn't cure the problem, then clean the car so the customer is happy.
