Erm, I think I paid a few £ when getting one for my XE. Not expensive at all, It;s just a big rubber seal. May take a few days for Vauxhall to get in though, Mine didn't stock it.

They used to ask me for the reg of car and looked puzzled when it came up as a 1.2
They all know the car well now, All the parts lads were out looking at it the other day.

When I ask for parts for my XE they get confused as it isn't in a Vauxhall car!
Gaskets are cheap as chips and easy to replace, just make sure you get the surfaces clean and you will be ok.
I would rather lose by a mile because i built my own car, than win by an inch because someone else built it for me.

Whilst you're there i'd order the copper washers for the banjos too. Won't hurt to replace them.
