I'm half way through fitting my camber bolts and when I turn the head of bolt clockwise or anti clockwise all that seems to be happening is the tracking will toe in/out? The camber doesn't look like it's moving.
What's wrong?

Fitted in the hole cloest to the top?
There is no way the toe should or can adjust through that.

Yeh through the top hole. It's definitely toeing in/out. You can't see the Camber angle moving at all.

My mate has just said the top hole needs to be oblong to adjust camber?

Your right putting the bolts in the top hole mate. You need to adjust your track rod ends now though. This is becuase when your adjusting the Camber Bolts it will move the hub out but if the track rod end hasn't been adjusted to suit it will just be knocking the tracking out as only the front of the hub can move. Adjust the track rod ends and the camber bolts together and you should be fine.

Guess I better put the old bolts in before it goes on the road then as its toeing out one side with neg camber and toeing in the other side with pos camber

I took my car to get the bolts fitted because I was finding it hard to get right. They did it for me and set the car up aswel and I don't think it was to expensive.

I don't think there that bad really. The ones I got off you have really made a difference to how the car drives, it handles loads better.

Can't you put some washers between the shocker and hub carrier?

Are you sure you loosened off the bottom bolt enough?
I fitted mine but didn't undo the bottom bolt so they're on, but not set up yet 
The tracking might still be out even if you put the original bolts back in if the bottom bolt has been loosened off and the hub has been moving about, so you may be best off just leaving the camber bolts in and trying to get it so it doesn't look too wonky then get it to a garage that can do camber and tracking.

Yeh im sure. The N/S is sound. However, the O/S isn't. LOADS of positive camber, and its toeing out too, plus the steering wheel isn't straight now
I'm gonna take them off and drive to the garage and get them to fit them
