Depends on what sort of bits you want?

For service items the usual suspects would be:
German French Swedish
Euro Car Parts

Thanks guys.
Putting an insurance write-off back on the road for my youngest son.
Tried to get a turbo diesel throttle damper. Its like a miniature shock absorber but only 6" long. £117+vat. no way am I paying that much so looking for alternative sources.

Steve , its the same as 406 and xantia and are reknowned for being useless.If all else fails i have fitted the damper with a spring retained by a jubilee clip so it resembles a coil over shock this works well and is only the cost of a suitable light spring and some desighn modification time.

Having never seen one working I was not aware that it was supposed to be a return spring.
