Eurospares sells a kit I believe.
Anyway you will need the belt (timing and poly), both bearings and maybe water pump and tensioner.
You should inspect them before ordering them as they are a bit expensive.
Be advised that there is a batch of faulty pumps out there so if you decide to replace it be sure to inspect the new one you get before assembly

You probably need other service items too.
This is probably the best deal:

Thanks. I checked the link out.
Three questions so forgive my ignorance.
1. Toothed belt ? Is that the cam belt ?
2. Complete fixed idler ? Is that the bits and bops needed to secure the cambelt ?
3. Is that all I need in relation to the cambelt, no additional bearings other than the one with the service kit etc. ?

Toothed belt is the cam belt.
Fixed idler in my opinion is not required as its not a wear item but others might disagree.
There are 2 bearings to replace and they are included in the service kit that chippiepilot pointed out.
On the link that I included those are extras.
Will you replace it yourself?

The fixed idler is where the fixed pulley/bearing sits
The tensioner applies pressure on the other pulley/bearing.
You only need to replace the bearing in the fixed idler, not the entire idler.
You will need an hydraulic press to separate the pulley from the bearing but a workshop will have no problem doing that

There are 2 service kits
http://www.eurospares.co.uk/specialOffers.asp?M=3&G=
That one is just for the cambelt and both bearings.
Its the bare minimum.
The other link I gave you for another kit is basically filters and other stuff you need when doing a big service and on that kit you need to add both bearings.
In the kit description you have the part numbers of the components included

Be sure to inspect your tensioner and pump to see if replacement is needed.
My pump was leaking from the shaft and my tensioner was leaking hydraulic fluid.
When I removed the tensioner the whole engine bay stinked to hydraulic fluid.
It must have lost quite a bit over the years

Was that difficult? Did you need the hydraulic press? Is this something most workshops are equipped with?

All workshops have them. They cost 50 quid on ebay and are basically a metal frame around an hydraulic jack
It's not dificult to do it with the press but it's impossible to do it without it.
I did the cambelt change myself but I had to take the bearings and pulleys to a workshop to have them replaced.
The operation to swap the bearings takes 5 minutes with an experienced press operator (There was some aligning done by the guy to avoid stressing the new bearing when inserting it)
