Baler twine out of the drivers window and down to the clutch for a hand operated clutch...

 

Tin foil folded up in layers to make a custom-thickness shim when the handbrake wouldn't adjust on some old banger or another, in order to get the handbrake effective enough to pass the MOT...

 

When my missus was training to be a nurse, many fixes were done by student nurses using porous sticking plaster tape (you guessed it, it's pretty much like thin gaffer tape) including sheeting up a window on my car after some sod smashed it by reveersing a flatbed transit round a corner but forgetting thez had scaff poles laying in the base...

the worst I've ever seen:

 

Sitting in a traffic jam, smelt quite a strong petrol smell. Looked at the car beside me to see the side is a bit crumpled, and there's no lid on the fuel tank, instead there is a rag stuck in the opening, the driver's window is open because he's having a fag...

 

I remained standing still for a good while so some other cars could get past me and create a bit of buffer whilst phoning the police.

That's more like it! Seen garden hose pipe used for fuel line. Had a chain saw in the other day,looked like the owner had been sharpening it with angle grinder and cutting disc,25% of the teeth were missing.

Yep! Good that was.

seen a landrover with some studding bar cut to length holding the front radius arms onto the front axle. Owner didn't see the problem with using some 4.4 grade threaded bar instead of 10.9 grade bolts........... refused to let me change it. I refused to work on it for fear of an accident and then him blaming me, so he took it elsewhere!

baler twine looped from the drivers door to the handbrake to hold the door shut....also acted as the seat belt.

hole in the floor of the van which acted as the ash tray and also emergency urinal.

bricks kept in the drivers footwell so you could chuck them under the wheels for the handbrake.
