Buying that little lot (although most aren't on the list), well worth getting a TC card ;)

goto www.autobahnstormers.co.uk
Print, fill out, and mail the application form, along with a £20 cheque

On past performance you will get a card Fri / Sat, maybe Monday.

gearbox oil depends if its auto (Dexron 3) or manual (Vauxhall special - but I personally wouldn't prioritise this unless its leaking).

however more concern is the blue smoke.   Coming out of the exhaust at the back or around the engine bay (in which case likely leaking camcover seals)?

It's either worn cylinder bores/piston rings and/or worn valve guides/valve guide seals.

I don't suppose anything dropped down into your cylinder when your cross threaded
plug blew out of the engine and you had it helicoiled?

Really need a compression test.

The oil may be a little too thin?
