Rough Idle - Update

Hello, a few weeks ago I posted about the rough idle of my 1992 T16. Well, at the time I swapped almost all electrical components out in the engine bay, and fully serviced the car etc, but the lumpyness was still there. Finally found the time today to lift the valve cover off and found that with the engine at TDC the lower cam was 1 cog 'off'. I removed the cog, fitted it correctly and viola, perfect idle! I wonder who was responsible for this error, as the previous owner had a complete new timing gear set up fitted less than a year ago... I'm surprised it was never picked up in the garages he used.
Anyway, thought I would share this one here, I'm sure this must be a fairly common error made by garages??
All the best, Angus
