sounds about right (daylight robbery - but you have no option really).  Remember the orings and sealant too.

are the autovaux ones as good as VX - i know in the past some people have questioned their quality

I believe the general consensus is .. that for the sake of £40 difference (less than a tank of fuel) get the genuine VX ones ... also saves you having to do them again if the cheap ones leak ...  :)

fitted the autovaux ones to mine about 18k miles (18 mths) ago, and they seem to be fine - though i'm getting a couple of the cover bolt o-rings leaking, so they are probably due for replacing now.

I am afraid they are not.

I got some before I knew better and they lasted about a year.
