tut tut, should you really be using that?

[launchster]

Drilled a 2p to use as a washer

[bob]

2 metal strops as jump leads

[Gary Prentice]

Bootlaces tied to the windscreen wipers when the motor failed for a five hundred mile journey from Scotland to London.

 

It stopped raining at Watford gap

[Shane]

10 inch plastic gas main pipe (strapped onto chipper output chute) to get chippings into back of defender while the tipper was being fixed.

Didn't look professional but no mess at all - just a bit of carnage on the tinwork in the landy

[Burgess]

Chewing gum to plug a hole in my vans oil sump. It worked for about 15 yards.

[Rich Rule]

Bailer twine and 3 large sockets as a throw line after my throw lines got well stuck.

Areldite and a 2p coin to fix a leaking core plug

[Mr Lee]

A new shape 5p coin to seal a radiator compression connection when it failed spectacularly late one saturday evening. Couldn't find a stop end or blank and didn't fancy paying for a plumber at 10.30pm.

 

Used my belt on a mates van when his exhaust fell off the rear rubbers on the M6. Wrapped it round the chassis and exhaust and carried on our journey. Think he sold it 6 months later and I never did get that belt back......
