Try E-bay I'm sure one of the guys on here put a link on once for the part you are after, I think it was a German company.
My flexi has started to blow on my 2.4, so it will need replacing soon. Does anyone know the difference between the 1.9 and 2.4 flexi? The diagram for the Vauxhall part looks identical to the one on my car.
I had mine changed today. I can confirm that the following is the right part for at least the 1.9 16v:

The mounting bracket is different though, but the old bracket was perfectly fine and solid so was swapped over. The old one is much more substantial than the one that comes with it.
This was the best price I could find online for one that includes the gaskets: £48.95 including delivery. It arrived next day too. Photo attached.
I had it fitted at a local independent garage. Only one problem - it was rubbing on the sump. The mechanic said this is pretty common with aftermarket parts. They heated and bent it further away and it's fine. An excellent job well done, for which they charged a very reasonable £74.26 inc VAT.
So all sorted for the total of £123.21
The flexi joint on the old one was black and sooty from the leak. We had two regens while it was leaking, and it was pretty alarming (and smelly). It's also quieter now (the old one must have been leaking for ages).
It's made by this company...

You mean like in Harris?
