At least the chain tensioner and both guides are not available anymore from the factory. I tried to buy those parts here in Finland some months ago and that's the information the local Peugeot dealer got from France. The tensioner can be used from a Peugeot diesel engine but then you lose the ability to lock/unlock it through the hole in the timing cover.

This place in Germany might be able to supply some parts:
