replace the pcv.......... dont just clean it, the ones with internal springs may not work ,simply because they rattle when shaken doesnt mean that they are not internally corroded,............... it is a cheap but vital part per fuel to accelerate efficiently. and to reduce internal engine pressure ;................ and removal to clean or replace is same amount of work with new ones are sometimes updated construction to be more efficient and durable .............. new cars with GDI should consider an oil vapor catch can or a true oil separator if they dont want to clean the system out every 1 to 2 years,

If you know what you are looking for and have the part numbers then Partsouq is a good option or Genuine Parts GmbH, if you want to buy from Europe (prices quoted include VAT just shipping extra until Brexit ).
As mentioned before all FSTI inlet manifold fuel pipework is the same as MY05 UK 2.5 FXT
just some of the usual part numbers below

It's all on the VIN plate
In theory a 2005 "built" FSTI could be a revision C,D or E as the builds have a production overlap.

Never had a problem with Genuine Parts GmbH
Just search using the part numbers
www.originparts.de
Same with Partsouq, as long as you have the part numbers no VIN required.
Basically you can do what you like it's up to you.

Not sure what you are doing or your ISP must be very limiting
Depending upon what you actually want to order you may not make the minimum order value but at least it gives you an idea of the prices with the 19% VAT included.

Bit of an update and maybe help others in the future,
So the garage replaced the fuel pipes and Fuel Pressure Regulator (+ the pcv valve), took them longer than anticipated as not really scooby people
but anyway, all changed, put back together but the engine wouldnt fire up. Turns out that 2 lines/pipes had been installed wrong so quick change over and it fired up.
However, with one monkey checking over the engine bay and another turning the key, engine monkey noticed that one of the pipes to the fuel filter kept spraying fuel from a small pinhole. It was fairly indiscriminate in what it covered so the battery got a spray, the engine got a spray etc.
If your wondering why didnt i check or notice this - someone in the past fitted braided fuel lines and the pin hole was just before the male end of the filter so i wouldnt have been able to seen it by myself. So kinda grateful the monkeys screwed up putting it together and noticed the issue.
Kinda annoyed that that was possibly the reason why i could smell the fuel but at the same time, it seems to be a fairly common issue with the scooby engines, plus the PCV valve was changed, which is recommended at around 100k (mines on 116k) but never mind.
Also, funny how cars seem to pull better after being worked on or having something replaced
