Bolt should come out easy enough , just take your time dude . I can imagine a few swear words were exchanged between you an miggy  :'(

nah, I don't swear at them anymore. I used to throw tools around  :'( but found a calm place that i'm happy in.

to be fair all I have to do is get the cams in, button up exhaust fannymould on drivers side, cambelt, cam covers and plenum back. the only thing I think im going to struggle on is the electrical connections i.e. where they all go  ;D
Start at the ECU and you won't go far wrong :y

Just remove that cam cap and then tap the remnants of the bolt round until it comes out.

Got some bolts in the garage I think if you need some

That cam seal looks a bit proud too.  It wont go in fully when the front cap is fully torqued (been there, tried it) you'll have to let it off a bit to be able to get it to go in properly.  Once the seal is fully inserted and level, retorque the front cap :y
