Vauxhall, who make the car, have said that they are supposed to be that way.

I choose to believe them.

Dave, if you have worked on the car now which should have been a warrenty job, would that not void this particular part now from future isses on his warrenty because its not the original?

My God what a load of doubt and scepticism, can the guy not tell a story without being unpicked at every opportunity. I used to take my Astra to the local garage every time it had a problem just because it was handy for work and he was kind enough to look at it before an 8 mile drive to a dealer on the edge of town who would want you to leave the car for a full day before they would even look at it.

I needed to go to work, so I used an independent near work. Warranty doesn't mean anything if you can't get there because you need to work 9-5. If it were a big job then I would book it in and have them foot the cost but usually after I knew what was actually going on with the car.
