Default Three Bond 1215 equivalent?

Anybody know the equivalent of Three Bond 1215 or know where I can get a small tube in the UK? My local dealer will happily sell me a cartridge of the stuff for 42 quid which seems a trifle excessive when all I need is enough to replace the oil pump.
I've got Wellseal, Hylomar and various flavours of Hermetite - does anyone have any thoughts on the best sealant for this job?
Jerry.

Your local Partco will sell a Loctite equivalent.

Thats where we get ours, after the Subaru Stealer did the same to us at £42.00 for a tube big enough to seal the Titanic.

PS, thinking about it, they may only want to sell a pack of ten tubes. In which case come back to me and l'll sell you a single one. They keep 1215 and 1207 which is the brown stuff for oil pans.

Thanks for the input chaps.
I discovered that Loctite 518 is comparable but is almost as expensive and even more difficult to find, so as I needed to get the job boxed off today was forced to buy the Three Bond. As David says, I've still got enough left over to reseal the Titanic....
