Get the cranks off and spin the axle with your fingers. If it turns smoothly, leave it alone and put the cranks back on. If it feels lumpy and rough, you'll need to replace it, I'd use the more modern Centaur part which will cost GBP 33 if you buy it from Wiggle or you could get a Token for about half that. Despite the price the Token units are quite good, they move the chainline out by 1mm but that shouldn't be too big a problem.
Why not just get a double rather than trying to complicate matters with a triple spec part when not needed, from Wiggle, you could go with this Wiggle | Tifosi Campagnolo Fit Bottom Bracket | Bottom Brackets or Genuine Campag like this Campagnolo Centaur Bottom Bracket, Bottom Brackets, BOTTOM BRACKETS
