Design project failed
we got a machine to move 1.6m 4th out of 60 groups
It was meant to go 50m - we thought this was rubbish so planed 15m...
Issues near the end of the build - bend axle after someone stood on it
Gears broke so we went from 1/4th down to direct gearing... this meant the flywheel was now dead weight...

Mk1 punto 3rd brake light is not working for an unknown reason, the voltage drops to 0 when brake applied when new bulbs are in, take the bulbs out and we get 12v when braked... we've checked & maintained everything that Could go wrong except a missing earth - can't find it (near boot?)

Flat mates back from easter brake - gone from quite, tidy, calm to alot of swearing, crap all over the kitchen, dirty plates etc everywhere and alot of noise, all from 1 room in a flat with 6 rooms... there car will proberly go missing over night:devil: - 2003/04 A-Class

Mine has a HUGE hole in the back box and all the insides have come out
I've patched it with Aluminum foil and high temp Locitte glue

The first patch worked fine around town but melted on motorway, the second patch has the high temp glue bonding the many layers together and a thin coat on the outside of the patch also still going well

Folded some foil, stuck layers together with high temp glue 250'c, stuck it over the hole with more high temp glue cost - Less than £1 it's going for MOT today or tomorrow, i'll let you know if it passes

Technically if the emissions are okay it should pass because it has no holes in it so good luck with it! lol

It passed no advisories either :slayer:
