the main trouble with cars is everyone thinks that because they can drive one they are experts. quite simply they are not!
as for statements like "they are all just nuts & bollts....etc"
buy yourself a cheap socket set & see how you go bell-end

nobody slagged you for the advice on what the fault was, just offered alternatives. We have all been there, when a dealer 'wants' to sell you a unit, when it is just a part you need, and unless you push them, they won't sell you it, or even look at it. Chrysler, Camshaft Position Sensor, it is well known to leak oil as the engine ages, Chrysler are 'happy' to sell the CPS, for £120, but they really don't like to sell you the oil seal for £3.12.
As for going to buy a cheap socket set, I fully apprectiate the need for the correct tools, working in deep maintanance of RAF and RNAS fast jets, I fully appreciate this, but in the end, they are still nuts & bolts, nothing more, nothing less, just like everything else. Just like pulling the Pegasus 103 engine out of a Sea Harrier FA2, or the vectored thrust ducting, radar, avionics, you name it.
