Well after some reflection I’ve decided to get some of the more difficult jobs done professionally, dependant on wether I only have a coolant or head gasket issue. Thanks to @justin-20V, I was able to source lots of parts much cheaper than the usual places and taking the advice of @audifan ordered a new expansion bottle (£13!) tandem pump and gasket. Massive thanks to @Clackers for getting me the NLA melted coolant pipe. Car goes in Friday PM and as long as the head gasket passes with flying colours, the work will begin on the coolant system and cam belt/water pump.
In the meantime there is more pipe work to source - I’m sure I will end up renewing most of the engine at this rate! Could anybody help to identify these two (probably) damaged pipes attached below (tarry looking black hose and metal flexi covered pipe)? The second picture is just to show the location better, behind the tandem pump passenger rear of engine bay.
