New Helicoil fitted with a bit of threadlock and I managed to clean out the thread in the cam bush to get a slightly longer and more secure bolt in place. The thread in the crankcase isn't great but it's the best I can do with the block in place and should hopefully delay the need for a "proper" repair. I took the opportunity to re-seal the top water branch too.
Spent the rest of the day fitting a new battery in my modern after it died very suddenly. Had to drill out the securing bolt and also search for blown fuses after the failure.
A full stable of working cars again ... and my wife can stop rolling her eyes!
