   So the time has finally come for the headgasket on my 126k vts to go.
   
   Question is best place to buy the headgasket set from and also anything else that you would advise on replacing while sorting the headgasket.
   
   Thanks

   Headgasket, head bolts, water pump, timing belt kit. Try EuroCarParts, although quite a few people on here don't seem to like them.

   as said which you probably know the head bolts and water pump are pretty much mandatory to replace lol
   
   ive always bought my head gasket kits off ebay and they always 99% of the time come with a whole host of different gaskets and seals to replace, which about covers it all
