Thank you, it's the gaskets I am after nukes the cover are warped once off

Now , its probably been discussed but there is a Saab V6 i think uses the same engine as the Omega V6 so has anyone tried buying the Genuine Saab ones at a lower price  Just a thought 

Edit : Just spotted the engine , its true 

Looking at that picture, if the cambelt is on the left (offside) then when the engine is rotated 90 degrees to fit in an Omega then the plenum would be the wrong end

The cam belt can't be the nearside end as the gearbox wouldnt fit.

So if they have changed the plenum what else has been fiddeld with? Buying SAAB parts for a car thats not a SAAB but same 'family' is a big risk that could be expensive.

Core engine is the same, merely the manifolds that's different

Why is it so difficult to buy these in bulk from Vauxhall and get a big discount ? They would sell like hot cakes on here

When I asked, bulk is several hundred :-(

I bought a set of cam cover gaskets the other day for £38.  I bought a cam cover gasket last year for my Merc C250 and it was £18 odd, so when you consider that you get 2 gaskets the price is broadly similar. 

Still a lot of money for a strip of rubber though. Sigh!
