Default what is the best bodgy fix you have done

what is the best bodgy fix you have done to get your car home


today,s cars you break down and you basically walk away and take the car to a dealership

but in the past if you broke down and if you are good a bit of creative thinking will often get you home

Im my case I was on a section of the unsealed section of the Nulibore plains between Ceduna and Eucla and I lost the plate that holds the battery in place a small metal plate

the battery was sitting upside down in the engine bay when I found it

So I got some fencing wire tied the battery into place it got me home

I have also used tisssue box carbord as a gasket to seal the thermostat that was leaking

There was a show called bush mechanics on ABC they had some ripper of bush fixes

what was your fix
