Depends on the engine, i'd say check on ebay 1st as theres normally people selling them on there.
Easy to change on the 16v engines... rocker cover off & cams out, then pull each tappet out with a sucker or a magnet. Just make sure the camshaft bearing caps go back on in exactly the same pattern (and way round) they came off
Might need to soak the new ones in oil for a little while to purge them b4 u fit them but i might be wrong on that part
