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
So are genuine parts the best or are parts from GSF or Eurocarparts gonna be the best/ same standard??
And a couple more pics!

Next up fitting.... Watch this space
