Chef's notes
If the mayonnaise is too thick add a teaspoon of water or flavoured vinegar loosen it.
How to fix a curdled mayonnaise
If you add the olive oil too quickly and the mixture separates into an oily mess, try the rescue method recommended by the award-winning Spanish chef, José Andrés; "measure out 1 tablespoon of lukewarm water and add to the mix little by little until you have the creamy sauce you wanted".
Having tried the above suggestion a few times, to no avail. I would suggest adding another whole fresh egg into the split mixture, maybe a dash of nice vinegar and just blitz for a minute or so. You'll hear the difference as the curdled mixture starts to coagulate properly. This fix has worked for me, every time.
A little mustard (powder or made-up) will add extra flavour.
