I think so it failed on
sticky caliper front offside (freed off this morning) suspect wheel bearing front offside ( was a little loose so I tightened it a little and hope that's solved) rear brake imbalance...going to get a local mechanic to do that for me as I have no way of knowing how much to adjust it(may well just need more bleeding, handbrake is perfect) Loose bolt, centre prop mounting (my fault for not tightening it enough)
That's it....not too bad is it?

Wheel calliper should be ok, Can you bite the bullet and Replace the wheel bearings? Time will tell on the rears Should be ok, doesn't sound like much if your assumptions are right

Duck is all mended and ready for the retest next Wednesday. I hope I freed off the calliper enough and that the wheel bearing isn't in need of replacing. My mechanic thinks it should be OK the way I did it. If it passes I'll be taxing it and heading for the ferry!
