I tried getting one a few weeks back. From VX, even on trade club it was very expensive, (around £90 rings a bell).

I got mine, (OEM) for something like £26 delivered, but I cant remember where from.

If I do remember, then I'll post back on here.

Sorry, just had a look through my posting history and cant find the topic on which this cheaper firm was suggested. I did a forum search as well, nut that couldn't find it either.

I had saved the invoice, but after suffering a burst water pipe in the garage, all the parts invoices had become ruined, so I binned them all.

Hopefully someone on here will be along shortly to suggest the same firm which I got mine from.

Did you get sorted with a water pump, Mahony?

I'm after one too. Seems like around £30 is the going rate for an aftermarket one. Anyone know if they're a false ecomomy like the aftermarket cam cover gaskets?

Keep an eye on the pump if you use a non-Vauxhall pump. I had two fail inside a month and a friends failed very quickly also. Water starting leaking from the front of the pump again.

INSISTED my mechanic used a genuine one, haven't had a problem since.

Something about aftermarkets not having strong propellers, plastic instead of steel I believe.

That's not good  :o

My new water pump came in packaging that was used by VX years back (AS Delco maybe?), but I did note that the design of the impeller was different to the one on the car and the blades were plastic instead of steel.

Good job I kept the old one just incase, (which seemed in good working order).

My local motor factor supplies FirstLine pumps for just under £30 and they have the metal impellors. I've never had a problem with them.
