Post some pics mate! Mine didn't have the cam follower changed until about 85k and it was in OK shape, I've not known anyone personally to have severely damaged Cam followers to the point it causes major Cam shaft or fuel pump damage so I think it is more rare than it can appear when reading the horror stories but it is a weak spot and can happen so definitely pays to keep on top of it maintenance wise.
