Also, probably worth having a set of the 6 plenum o rings - if these haven't been changed recently, you may struglle to get good seal on refit without replacing...

You only need cam gaskets etc, so a head gasket set is a bit extreme ;)

They don't state make, but whatever, only use genuine cam cover gaskets.

If you get the sealent  from vaux make sure it is black, some dealers try and fob you off with other types

The dealer will probably insist that its a green sealant, due to an inability to read EPC, you need to insist on the black sealant.
