Last time I was in a dealer ordering bits I priced an oil cooler.
Was quoted £250.00.... just to buy the part :o

£80.00 on ebay later I got a genuine vauxhall one sent to me :y

bloody dealers make their prices up as they go
some dealers seem unaware its available as a kit...

They dont.

EPC lists seperate oil cooler, plate etc which comes to over 200 quid.

However, there is a repair kit which comes in at 90 quid the part number for which is listed on TIS and not EPC. A number of the better parts counters know of this kit and only sell this.
