alright chaps adz has helped me out still open to suggestions tho

no you dont need a hub nut as you dont need to revove the hub housing.

the top loack nut doesnt really need replacing but if you wanna do it you need a 19mm lock nut, pref with built on washer, or just get it from ford and pay a bit more, or use a washer

the rubber donuts (topmounts) are not expensive from fords and yes are the same on the later fiestas.
a part you could change if you want, although not always needed is the thrust bearing at the top, i dont mine as it was like £4.50 or some thing for each one and before i stripped the car the drivers side used to sqeak so replaced everything
