I would also buy new pulley bolts as they can get stuck and need drilling out.  I had to drill out 3 of the 6 as they were done up far too tight.

''hi never been asked for any pulley bolts which pulley are they for?'' this is what my dealer has just messaged me when I asked about pulley bolts.. which ones do I need?

They are the crankshaft pulley bolts and are very cheap to buy. On mine they were very tight and the allen key rounded the head so I had to drill them out. The dealer will be able to tell you how much coolant is needed as I cannot remember now.
