eurocarparts/gsf/citroen for the kits
I'd replace cambelt, idler pulley, tensioner pulley (all these three normally come in a kit) then i'd do water pump depending on if its been done before and replace the alternator belt depending on its condition

I always use 'Gates' belt kits. Comes with everything you need excluding waterpump.

I fitted a new one and it lasted about 15 -20k before siezing and chucking the timing out 2 teeth.
IMO If your disturbing it by putting a new belt on - then i'd fit a new one - £65 from Citroen but worth it for piece of mind!

Gates kit everytime,it's all we use and for the price of a water pump get one. its not worth the hassle if it leaks after a few miles or worse,collapses and gooses your engine
