Try www.davidsilverspares.co.uk

Probably £4 or so each.

Which would also explain why the oil smells of petrol, it burns lots of oil and I can't get a nice plug colour ?
A compression test won't tell if they have gone , so I'm going to replace them and hope for the best , It had new rings not so long ago.

If petrol has got into your oil it will be thin like wee and get past the rings and burn. You say the oil smells of gas so could the carb have been left on and flooded past the float and drained into the sump past the piston?

You will also need a top end set as you will have to take the head off, add another £40 to your bill.
Unless you have a special tool that allows you to lock the cylinder in place (with compressed air), keeping the valve shut and then taking off the valve springs and change the seal.
I have one of these tools, they are a god send, has saved me and my friends loads of money over the years.

Do you get a puff of blue smoke on the overrun? That is a good indicator that the stem seals have gone.
