A local member changed my cam cover gaskets on Saturday, there was more oil in the wells than in the engine, its a common fault.

Make sure its all put back square and with the correct torque, otherwise you'll be in the same position after a few miles.

Well, a tyre is a consumable (think yourself lucky it wasn't 4!) - a wiper blade is also a consumable and costs pennies - and a trackrod end certainly isn't the end of the world.

That's not a bad MOT result at all :y
