As I leaving work last night, out the gate. On the road the transition from concrete to asphalt is joined by a low kerb but when I went over it this time proved to much for the drivers door mirror glass which left it hanging off... Thankfully I had a few cable ties handy (courtesy of a fellow 306 owner at FCS) I managed to use one to hold it in place   Any other BOTM?  ________________________________________ I Live for the 306 TEAM CHERRY PINK RALLYE 2008 BMW ///M 320d |

You guys are small time, When I stripped out the carpet in the back of my black 6, I noticed there were 2 rubber caps on the floor, one of which was not sitting correctly . "No problem" I thought as I tried to gently push it back in to no avail. "That's annoying" I said as I began to stamp it back into place, again with no avail. By this time it was 1am, and I'd had enough. "Right you little bas**rd!" I yelled, as I went and grabbed the large lump hammer from the garage. I then proceeded to angrily bash the f**k out of the bung until it finally (albeit awkwardly.) Sat in its place. "Job done, time for bed" In the morning on the way to work, the car p**sed fuel everywhere, lost about £40 worth before I realized what I'd done. unbeknownst to me at the time, The rubber bung was the cover for the fuel pump, which I'd completely annihilated when I smashed the hell out if it with Mr lumpy  . And with spring action day at combe the following day , and several track slots booked,I was most displeased. Anyway, a big mad rush and an £80 fuel pump fitted 20 minutes before leaving for combe, I'd stopped the fuel leak. Wish I didn't bother, wrote the car off at quarry 4 hours later  .True story guys. ________________________________________ 2005 Peugeot 206 GTI 1802008 BMW K1200R |

Positive battery terminal was not threaded, but connector on the lead was, bridged the excess space with the metal top of a clipper cigarette lighter. Alarm would go off at random, and car would often not start.I lived like this for 2 months until I realized that the threaded terminal cover could be removed from the old battery ________________________________________ 2005 Peugeot 206 GTI 1802008 BMW K1200R |

The main canbus loom on my 406 had been cut through and then stuck back together with a glue gun. Nice. No wonder it kept throwing network errors ________________________________________ Nothing to see here |

Hahahah, chuckled at the battery terminal one! But Pebbles; Damn that is unlucky!!! ________________________________________ Richies Project RallyeElectrical work carried out in Portsmouth jamiek_uk2000 wrote: - Top Tip!!! You'll need to throw money at the car. Not on parts. Just stand near your car and throw loose change at it, I find this increases performance for a short period of time |
