They list the 500 2007+ models, I didn't think they done a 1.2 16v engine.in your list the bottom one is for the16V engines
The plan had been not to take the cam cover off, leave well alone and all that.
Thanks for the info

Koalar is telling you just about all you need to know about the locking tools. The top kit you show is the one you want for the 8 valve engine as it includes the wee locking block for locking up the VVT top sprocket if you ever undo it's retaining bolt. However if you decide not to undo the top sprocket bolt then you just need the crank locking tool (round end with 3 bolt holes in it) and cam locking bar (with angled locking face which fits in the slot on the end of the cam) and maybe the two pronged tensioning tool, but you can get round it by using something like right angled circlip pliers.There seem to be about 3 types, most look like this:

If you are literally doing it with tippex you don't need to remove the cam cover - I think this is one reason why the wee garages around here favour this method because it makes the job much quicker! However the cam cover gaskets do seem to get a bit "weepy" as they age and many on here have taken the opportunity to renew them when doing the belt. so you might want to have a good close look at yours?They list the 500 2007+ models, I didn't think they done a 1.2 16v engine.

Edit. If you do decide to renew the gasket, obviously you will carefully clean and degrease where it mates to head and cover but also worth knowing that they tend to leak at any corner - especially where it goes over the cam - so a wee bit of silicon sealant in the coerners doesn't go amiss.
for things like belt "critical" partsThanks, it's a growing shopping list for this job, not forgetting the sump needs done too.
Is fiat best option for belt and kit? or are their known good non-fiat suppliers
Top set does 8v and 16v. Second set is all you need for the 8v engine. Bottom set, looks like some extra holding rods of some sort, possibly for later engines. not necessary for your engine.There seem to be about 3 types, most look like this:
