cam cover gaskets, still available seperately?
« on: 16 September 2010, 07:37:09 »

Hi there,
Rang the local Vauxhall dealers for a price to replace the cam cover gaskets on my 2.5 Elite and was informed that they are only listed as an item only  WITH the covers i.e. at a cost of £85 each. Reason being, cars getting older and spares more difficult to get. Surely this is not the case.Any thoughts on this, anyone in the Notts area had the gaskets and breathers done recently, and what did you pay.
Many thanks
Philip

Recently purchased gaskets for one bank only from a VX dealer. The parts man got a tad confused due to the fact that there is two gaskets per bank
