   Might aswell get a new gasket while your at it, would be silly not to replace it while its off
   
   Could do the studs and bolts aswell if you wanted, upto you though

   If it's the original manifold and never been off... renew the studs, nuts and gasket imo.

   If they are the original studs/ nuts, you'll probably find that when you try to loosen the nuts, it'll take the stud out the head too. So unless you can remove the nuts from the studs without damaging the thread, you'll most likely have unequal lengths when you refit them again.
   
   Not the end of the world, but for the sake of ~£7, it's worth changing them imo.

   Citroen/ Pug parts desk. Comes to something like £7 for the studs/ nuts and gasket.

    Motor factors should do them. Nah, just the metal gasket is needed.

    Sealant should never be used before the cat.
