   why dont you ask him what he needs?
   
   if hes a mechanic hes going to know roughly what he needs citroen or not...
   
   failing that go to citroen and find out the part number from them, then shop around

   i thought i'd pick the stuff up for him as he don't really have the time as hes working all week , he done afew turbo conversions for xr2's and is very good , does this from home , as he lives in the sticks and he ain't near a spares place hence me picking up the parts , can you get everything from Halfords or should i take a trip to citroen ( halfords is close )
   cheers .
   p.s , do i need new bolts if the head is taken off ?

   If the head is coming off just order a head gasket and set you should have all the parts needed and yes the head bolts will come in the head set mate make sure everyting gets changed you should get injector seals to and other bits

   also get a water pump you might as well change that seen as it's all been stripped down and new cambelt and tensioner

   headbolts are stretch bolts as such and should be replaced whenever disturbed
