nope. it's not like having vortex's and nimrods as a second set which would cost like £600-700 for two decent sets lol.

Pepper pots will sell for £100 at best.

Tiny update:

Went down to Peugeot today to get quotes for various items...
Rocker cover gasket: £13.32
Headgasket: £34.20
Exhaust manifold gaskets (x4): £11.37 for the four
Cambelt kit: £74.07
Water pump: £80.64

Is there anything else we should be buying and are these decent prices?
I know we want to do it as cheaply as possible but neither of us like to skimp on quality when it comes to important repairs Wink

So are genuine parts the best or are parts from GSF or Eurocarparts gonna be the best/ same standard??

 


 


And a couple more pics! Laughing

Thanks mattie! Just ordered the tensioner as well Wink

Is the gasket scraper a special tool or will any flat bladed implement do??
