swearing and screaming about why your engines leaking? :lol: sorry, that's next week
so it sounds like you are newish to buying parts. ignore me if i'm wrong.
i find the best way is to get the part number, either parts book, or internet search or ask the oracle of part numbers.
then bung it into your fav supplier. mine atm are lrdirect and island4x4.
say it is LVB000260
so in island4x4 http://www.island-4x4.co.uk/advanced_search_result.php?keywords=LVB000260&x=26&y=6
and lrdirect LVB000260 | Head Gasket - Td5 1.35Mm 3 Hole - Land Rover Part LVB000260
for headgaskets i'd buy good quality parts. either oe/oem payen or elring. i wouldn't be using britpart branded (oem britpart, fine.. usually has g on the end of the number)
also, (i've not worked on a td5) you can have mls and composite gaskets. mls is less forgiving.
and finally i think you want to replace the dowel on the td5 when you are at it. and isn't their two versions of the td5 head? early and late?

it's also not healthy to reuse the old head bolts... IMO old bolts + sh*tpart gasket = .................. (fill the gap with a censored word)
