  • Did you sell it as sold as seen and gave him a reciept if so I can't see what he can do!! as to the rocker cover which is a type of metal shell that sits on top of the cylinder head covering the tappets and valves etc.If it's just leaking oil just need to replace tha gasket not the most difficult of jobs.hope this helps

    Tell him that you informed him there was problems with the car hence no mot so it is basically a non-runner/not road worthy until repair work has been carried out.

    as they say 'buyers beware'
    Problem with having access to internet is that i get asked by many to solve their problems :( Well at least i learn something on the way :D
