Gets in the car to go to work and TWANG goes the clutch cable.
Fixed that for an amazing £6 and the clutch felt better than ever.
Drove down the road and the alternator severed a fuel line and sprayed everywhere :mad: (bare in mind it took me a while to source the leak)
Fixed that and drove down the road to discover that the speedo didnt work/wasnt connected, so I turned round and had a day off :)
Darn these cars lol

I think I may have disturbed the fuel in line when doing the clutch cable, the alternator didnt want the fuel line on it's turf and chewed it up lots, £10 of fuel every fooking everywhere.

I'd be more glad that the fuel spill didn't ignite than angry at losing £10 worth of unleaded.
Aw sorry to hear that,all that to happen in one day as well, hope it all works out for you.

what he said, even tho I only have an 8v 2L there is still little room to get your arm down to where the clutch cable needed to be inserted.

I know, my wheels have started to run more than normal, my fuel gauge works when it wants and I had no heat out the blower.
Sorted the heat, the fuel gauge sorted itself and I ignore the wheels lol.
The exhaust needs re-welding also :( .
Maybe ill fix it all and nothing will go wrong soon, on the bright side kept me busy today :)
