in fairness it could be worse, they are all 'fixable' problems are you booking it in again, this time next month?

they are all fixable, the 1st three all refer to one screw holding on the front sidelight/indicator cluster which also acts as the earth. The number plate is just a case of drilling two holes n screwing it on, the inner arches are just in need of fiber glass, the leak on the brakes is just a union that needs pinching tight, and that just leaves the caliper that is binding, which is just a strip clean re grease and bolt back together. oooo and i need to set the carb up properly!
nothing more than a couple of days work! just a case of finding them couple of days! lol
