Mk1 Golf - Blue Smoke; Valve Stem Seals

Just had my Mk1 Golf MOT'd.

Failed on "Blue Smoke from exhaust".

Garage says it is probably the Valve Stem Seals.

Car has been stood for 4 years, so seems likely.

How much would this cost to get done by a garage? My garage said about a day, which I can't really afford.

I am thinking about attempting it myself, but the list of tools you need is getting quite long.
Has anyone done this before?
Head on or off seems to be a big debate. I don't have a compressor so I guess it will have to be head off.

Anyone near Tolpuddle who can give me a hand? Or give me a decent quote?
