Unhappy Mk1 focus rs valves problem. HELP!

Hi there, i'm a bit new to all of this but here goes!
The other half has a mk1 focus rs which when she was driving home from work the cam belt tensioner decided to give up the ghost!
To cut a long story short i can only seem to get the valves from fords which are stupid money, does anyone have a head or no anyone, or where you can get them from apart from fords?? Be cheaper to buy a new engine i think at this rate!!
Many thanks Pete.

Thank you both for such a quick reply. We were getting quoted £50 for inlet and £123 for exhaust, because exhaust are sodium filled.

escort1989uk - gone to the link, do you think that is a complete head, ie with valves as it comes in the picture its seems cheap??!!

Hi Dan,
its the valves we need as the head is ok, what two valves are damaged on yours and do you have a rough price you want to let it go for?
