I was just looking through my MOT failure sheet, they also forgot to mention to me that it failed on a track rod end, but if I were to give them the go ahead to repair all the broken stuf they were going to charge me £200 to replace the track rod end... I just went to buy one now thinking that it would cost about £50... £9 later I am the proud owner of a brand new track rod end... Hmmm. Labour is about £60 an hour, they must hire retarded monkeys there  I also just bought a brand new fuel tank for £80

I took the track rod ends off when I did the engine conversion on my other Corsa.... Took me about 30 mins mincing about figuring how to get them undone, now I know how I'm sure I can do the whole job in that ammount of time...
The problem I'm having at the moment is figuring out how to drain the fuel tank

PMSL what a brilliant idea! Don't forget it's also OK to smoke a fag while you're doing this too!
(if you're still alive that is)
