Wheather its a good idea to replace what bits to whilst engine is out?

I'd be tempted to do the headgasket if you havent seen it running.
Doesnt even own a 306.

Yeah i meant i'd do everything you've said, plus HG if you havent seen the engine running and had a proper inspection of it.

All depend how far you want to go with it and how much money you want to spend on it. Would say cam belt, tensioners and water pump as a minimum as there a lot easier to do with the engine out
